The 'look at what I did today' thread

Speaking of...

A very innocent (Chinese) Malaysian I've been working with said she likes pork (I asked her about why someone would have to go to Singapore for pork). Not many minutes later I was also invited to look at photos of her box.

I wish I'd have slipped in the word 'Prelude'.

Excellent, @simonc

My own Car Magazine claim to fame is getting into the Type-R feature 4 1/2 years ago.

And more recently:

Classic & Sportscar's Pedant Of The Month, Feb 2017 ...

and in the letters page of same mag's April 2017 issue

Perhaps we should start a new game?
Let's all flood the mags with whatever seems right at the time.

Swaped it for a JDM SiR -> that got written off and then at the right time the current Type-S came for sale

Haha, thanks. It's what I get up to in my free time.

Nice shots, as ever @nitin_s1
Morning @Sailor, and good for you with the letters. Actually, that issue of CAR (August 2012) is one I've kept. If memory serves me right, it had a large 'R' type feature, with all the models Honda produced. I'm going to dig it out and read it again because it was a very informative spread. Not to diminish the importance of the Accord 'R', the highlight was that stunning dark green NSX 'R', belonging to the head of sales at McLaren.
Good idea on the letters. Let's carpet-bomb the classic sector with letters asking why they've never labelled the Prelude as one of their modern classics. Bombs away...

Hope you liked the photos of her box@Donald. I'm sure they were most illuminating. Ahem.
The reason I go to Singapore is that the quality of meat here is bloody terrible. I kid you not. At the meat processing factories, wherever they may be, there's sections marked, "Export to USA, Japan, Europe and the UK." Then there's another section marked, "Export to the Third World', and finally there's a section, probably close to, or inside the Gents loo that's marked, " Export to Malaysia only".
