Yes, very much so - everything for this car has been dealt with by Honda Chiswick, even the MOTs. I have a feeling the previous owner was of the type to say "just get everything that needs doing, done, by the time I collect it" - servicing has been bang on schedule too. This is despite the car only covering silly amounts at times, e.g. 2k miles between 2007 and 2008!

It currently sits at just under 33k

Chet,

It was really nice to meet you today.

I'm glad we managed to get it home safely

Check the site for info on the reliability of fuel guages

I, like quite a few others, fill up as soon as I hit 200-220 miles !

You looked so happy / nervous / excited today. It reminded me of how I was 10yrs ago. I'm really pleased for you.

Enjoy it, and get to learn the car before planting your right foot.

Look forward to seeing you & other members at one of the meets.

Bharat

Hey all,

Well its a been a few months now since I picked up the S. Planning on removing the hardtop today for the rest of the summer - likely to be one of the last to do so on here I think!

I gave the car a clean yesterday to ensure the hardtop is relatively clean before coming off, also took a few pics:














No doubt if you're looking at this thread you may have a liking for Rio Yellow....so I'd also like to credit a chap who goes by the name of xnapajx for posting the following stunning photos:

Cheers Matt, looking forward to finally getting the hardtop off later on today! Hope you're well and your S is treating you well too.
