im the person you always reply to on this forum. Perhaps being so upset and throwing a sissy fit has given you amnesia?

Everybody's had their say on meet-gate. There has been a hands-off approach taken, in the interests that those with grievances get them out in the open and everybody get their points across. This appears to have happened.

Enough is enough now though, it's business as usual with regards manners, rules etc.
We need to move on from this, any more personal jibes/trolling/feckacting will be dealt with harshly

This is not the place to discuss the dynamics of the "community", perhaps take it to PM. Any further discussion of this on this thread will be taken as trolling

Here's one to unite us all

It was somewhat of a meet in spirit too!

I decided to copy FN's photo (badly)...

I have this car the past 8 years. First owner since import. Was my first car and now the girlfriend drivers it. Since my car gets so much love I decided to give the civic some love.

The paint work needed a bit of tlc due to dullness, oxidation and some scratching. I did the following

prewash, 2 bucket wash, dry, t-cut, layer of polish, layer of wax. I am fairly pleased with the end result and the girlfriend is delighted. I think this will earn me some brownie points ha

Not bad for a nearly 17 year old car with 250k kms on her.

After a heavy night at a family wedding on Friday, the only right job to blow off the cobwebs and clear the head on Saturday was to take the wee Puglet for a run up the mountains. For a 1.1 litre, 20 year old city car, by god the handling would put a serious grin on your face.

would love to know what the vehicle behind you in the last pic was up to. looks like the sort of yoke you see schleping bins around a shopping center car park that got wayyy out of it's depth and ended up in the mountains!

Just a Honda TRX quad, or the Big Red as she's known, with a trailer full of turf. The young fella wasnt afraid to throw her very very sideways on the second hairpin

Cracking looking road though.

That seems to be a favourite place for pics.

I bought this on Sunday, it's one of the cleanest cars I've ever seen and it's got an amazing service history with every receipt and NCT cert up to it's current 96k miles.
I know it's gonna drink petrol and being a 2.2 it's a pig to tax but I don't care!
Life is short and I want to have some fun.

Very clean prelude! Need to swap the alloys though they're facing different directions! Well wear

I never noticed that, my OCD will drive me mental now until I've fixed it.
Thanks for the head's up.

I saw a same one in Lucan on Sunday morning. I had a Prelude for couple of years till i became daddy. My all time favourite. All the best

'Kin sweet Honda TT! *thumbsup* and it's a minter by the looks of it. Very nice.

Autosport · 19-10-2015 08:20PM

Best of luck with the new motor, I like the houses

GvidoR · 19-10-2015 08:54PM

Nice Prelude.

I don't what you were doing with the number plate, it's still clearly visible. :P

I don't know what I was doing there either tbh,
I've seen other folk blanking there's out so I thought I'd try the same (badly) for some reason.

Sure how many people see your reg when you're just driving around anyway?!

I'm delighted with the car so far, I like fact that it's completely stock. The temptation is there to do one or two small things here and there though.

Stock is good. If I was doing anything I'd make it easily reversible. OK Preludes didn't suffer the drove through Halfords covered in glue of other Hondas like the Integra or especially the Civics. They were a more "adult" car, but I'd reckon there are precious few left in the stock condition your beauty is. I reckon we'll look back at that period from say the mid 80's to say 2000 as a real peak in car design and production. That sweet spot between unreliability/more hands on and the push a button for "soul" of the cars since then.

I think the reason Preludes weren't as molested as Civics and Integras is because they were a 2.2.

Most people's cut off in Ireland is and was the 2.0 tax

Not just that they were a 2.2, but that partly because there was no "1.6 granny spec on de logbook" version that they could be taxed and insured as with a little bit of cute hoorism.

Theyre really starting to clamp down on that now too, local lad i know is after getting a ban because of it. Dropped a b16 into a 1.4 civic and was banned because of it when he was stopped.

Serves him right too, just pay the tax and insurance or suffer with a 1.0 micra and be happy you can leave the house.
