    I'd bloody love that!

    It would be a great project to strip out the living space and re-create it to your exact specs.

    I'd happily live in it!

    Id love it myself to buy and live in !

    Id just strip out the bunks and put in a shower unit and double bedroom and just have enough space for my car !

    Only thing annoying me about that particular bus is its on uk plates (so vrt etc.) And its a manual gearbox... which I am learning to drive atm on a bus that size !

    Adding to TPs "does anyone have...." question:

    Does anyone have VCDS I could use for a few minutes? My own VCDS decided to work when I didn't need it, and stop working when I did.
    Say yes now! Be the first to see my brand spanking new reversing camera! Much cool, So reversey, Many thanks

    *gasp* Nooooo!

    On another note. I've been having a huge argument about Civics this evening. Heres how it goes.

    I think, that the EJ9 Honda Civic saloon will soon (in a few years) go down the same route as the EF Hodna Civic saloon. A common enough car, until lots of them rust away, and the remainders are then considered rare and they double in price, especially the early standard ones. But apparently this won't be the case because EF Civics are "ten times nicer looking" and "ya can't been early 90s styling".

    What do you all think?

    Shut up, young ragamuffin!

    EF's are a much nicer looking car than the EJ though.
    The EJ is the forgotten Civic, mostly because it's the ugly one without a b16.

    Can't argue with that.

    Forgetting about looks for a second, would you agree with what I say?

    I agree that any well kept average car will in time become a classic and prices will go up but the EF is a cult classic. Think early Kanjo and Touge racers, the EJ was just the family hack.

    They'll appreciate as time goes on but never to the extent an EF will.

    All in my opinion of course.

    That's the EG, the EJ is the one that looks like an EK but slightly weird.

    How do you mean weird? The ej9 and the ek for the most part looked the same with minor differences both inside and out. It's in the engine department is where the differed the most.

    To add to the confusion there was a 91-96 ej civic as we'll, it being the ej1 coupe.

    The minor differences on the exterior just make it look off, I couldn't even tell you which ones but they never looked as nice as the EKs.

    Yeah I have to say, I'm not happy about that closure.
    Not everything needs a thread of it's own and that was a great outlet for the little jobs and the chats that go with it.

    BRING IT BACK, I SAY!!

    I can't agree. I think the ej9 was slightly nicer, bar the rear lights on the saloon . Most ej9's came with a factory fitted sunroof which made a difference to the appearance of the car. Jap Ek's are rarely seen with a sunroof.
