Jim Bell Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Tibshelf achieved. I love this car. It's amazing. Thanks a billion to the amazing @Asimo , who is not only a top gentleman and a great host, but also was happy to talk me through all the must know business in relation to this fine automobile. A legend among men. Half way home and mpg is in the high eighties. I think @Bucketeer s head would burst if he drove this. I mean, just look at those lines. Epic.

Jim Bell Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 The bonnet has developed some character by shedding dots of paint, and the Honda badge. I think it looks better without the badge. And underneath. And check out the 1 into 1 manifold.

320touring Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Boy am I glad you bought that:) I have lusted after one since I read up about them years ago on a hypermiling site. Probably the most bloody minded car they have ever built for public consumption. So much going on to improve fuel consumption that it's unbelievable. Well in sir!
