So, the Lemon's gone to the dark side too! Welcome...

Wet roundabout, 2nd gear and be brave enough to keep the power on. It thinks it's a GT86.

It is good in the snow too, though 1.8 tonnes takes some time to stop.

They are pretty much bulletproof too, despite all the electrickery on them. And the LCD screen takes an age to warm up in cold weather.

Too many Supermarine Blue 'Lude pics on this thread for me - I still miss mine...

Ah man, had no idea you'd ended up on Team KB1 Legend too :lol:

Just got the belts done today, so happier to give it some stick now :twisted: Wet roundabouts are fun :lol:

Yup - I needed a long-distance cruiser at the time and was keen to try out SH-AWD.

Found I rather liked it a lot.

Best check the ISIL-airbag recall has been done.

Just chucked the VIN into the Honda site, seems all recalls are done! :vtec:

Sadly the exhaust tips are shot, the chrome has flaked so not easy way back from that. Might just need to replace them with some stainless jobbies :twisted:

It's a lot like the lude again in terms of rarity, don't think I've seen another on the road since I collected it!

You used to very occasionally see the previous gen, don't think I've ever seen your gen on the road.
