Forgive the message, its not a query on cambelts or other techie stuff I never understand, its just sharing the sheer joy with you on opening the garage door and seeing the back of my 5th gen in all her glory! How many things in this mad world bring you such pleasure! :D

The ludes are a very nice car to look at and drive. But i must say my crx still wins for the best experience overall. Prelude is very close behind though. Just going A to B via traffic the lude has a definite edge over a crx. Its just so relaxing to drive and a very nice cockpit to be in. I love my Honda's. I love the vtec, vtec for life 8-)

The whole reason I have kept my 5g for all these years is I couldn't sell it and buy another car for anything like the money that would make me feel as special to drive. It's just a sheer joy. I'm not a boy racer but I like to drive quickly and the engine is brilliant and the chassis sticks and sticks round the corners with almost no body roll. Makes me smile very time.

The thread sums up why I've been driving a Lude for over 21years.

Driving a lude again. Having driven a vw then mk8 civic then an accord type r then getting back into a lude it's crazy how much of a better quality drive you get. So sharp in the corners. Had a work colleague shocked at how low it is and I know its on 30 or 35mm lowers skunk 2 springs but such an amazing drive again.

How comes the 5g had been off the road, Merlin?
I know you bought the bus as a more practical daily to hammer, but I kind of assumed you had kept the 5g or the road still.
