HI FROM BEN IN DERBYSHIRE

[prelude91]

Hi Ben, my name's not Ben, and I don't live in Dover or derby, either, but welcome aboard anyway.

[Donald]

HI BEN

He who dwells in the shelter of the high rev range
will abide in the shadow of Soichiro Honda.
I will say to the vehicle, “My refuge and my fortress,
my Prelude, in whom I trust.”

For it will deliver you from the snare of the AA van
and from the deadly SUV.
It will cover you with its oil,
and under its valve cover you will find refuge;
its faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the breakdown,
nor the dated look that comes with age,
nor the non-start that stalks in winter,
nor the head gasket that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.

Because you have made the Prelude your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge—
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no leak come near your water pump.

For it will command its airbags concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their covers they will bear you up,
lest you strike your wheel against a kerb.
You will tread on the Peugeot and the Alfa;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

“Because it holds fast to me in VTEC, I will deliver it;
I will protect it, because it knows my name.
When it calls to me, I will answer it;
I will be with it in trouble;
I will rescue it and honour it.
With long life I will satisfy it
and show it my salvation.”
