Not a lude but my Accord :)

As I bought her back in 2010

After a bloody good wash!

Then after a few subtle mods:

Image

Then she went away for a bit :(

And now looks like this

She'll be back though, and with the right engine in this time :D

And who knows, give it a year and I may even be able to do a Prelude 'before and after' ;)

At the top of a hill is a right hand bend, oncoming traffic was out wide, I had to do a little left/right swerve to avoid it which caused oversteer as the car unweighted over the crest.. so the ass went left, I turned in and powered on, the road narrowed, I hit a Cornish hedge with the front off side, the nose dug in and it flipped me over, I landed on the other side of the road on my roof and slid into the other Cornish hedge!

This happened a year and one week ago!

Damn Dino, you properly killed that Civic!!!
...wheel swap for insurance purposes, was it? When the assessor came to look at my smashed 'Lude I told him all the bits (bodykit, wheels, tints etc) were limited edition for the Japanese market, he believed me and they paid up in full!
