no wonder he is in limp mode then

I am in limp mode at 72 as I need two new knees as well as other bits, so its up to the NHS if I get a ground up restoration or am a scrapper!

Loads of people ask me what to buy that's reliable. I tell them any Honda & then they buy a Citröen which causes them no end of problems

have you bought it - or just thinking about it

I took the car for a test drive when I was down at design team meetings In Hampshire just before Xmas.
I was in touch with the dealer to see if it was still available and after carrying out necessary checks on it I put a deposit down on it
I am going back down to Hampshire at the end of Feb for further meetings and will pick up then
Just hope it’s not in a ships container after taking my deposit on it :facepalm:c

Reference Crail I might participate but don’t know if it could compete with Vtecs in a standing start as it is more of a cruiser

The new owner of your Prelude is really enjoying the car but has now finally realised its a sports coupe...
