Take it you will make the next Herts meet?
I had the Civic and the Beemer in South Africa actually. Had excellent spec as well - Honda was part of the Mercedes group in South Africa at that stage. Mine had leather, aircon, ABS, etc

But yeah, prices in Ireland are shocking, due to the VRT tax. Hence me wanting to sell my Golf over there rather than here.

When is this Herts meet?

Good reading.
The only thing I consider dangerous about the S2k is that its understated because its not well known, I've lost count the times I've accelerated and someones dangerously pulled out in front of me in the outside lane. I can only assume that some people have no idea how quick it is, when people see a Porsche of any type they generally get out of the way.
Its amazing how many people that claim to be into cars say 'A Honda what, oh well its can't be up to much, its a Honda.' Numbskulls.
