    Default Im in the UK!!

    **pics of scenery and stuff page 2**

    sup honda boys!
    fucking civic and accord type Rs are everywhere!!!!...
    ofcourse the newer accords are based on the acura tsx...looks better than the american 8th gen
    ive seen a few hooked up EKs on rotas, fart cannons and some slammage
    but the civic type Rs are everywhere!!
    i may have seen a 1.7 D series unit in an ep3...strange.
    the regular civics are strange looking too...

    as for other makes...im sure u euro fans would love it out here
    the beemers, mercedes and audis are very beautiful and plentiful, ofcourse.


    the streets here are insane....everyone is trying to squeeze in small spaces im surprised ppl dont have as many accidents...especially when both sides of the street are lined with cars making the streets even more narrower and then oncoming traffic is mere inch or two away from hitting you

    and finallly...autotragic transmissions are near non existant!

    i think we should have alfa remeo in the states!

    Well no wonder they have so many hondas, they need as much mpg as they can get lol. With that 38k miles she might want to retire that thing, it doesn't have much life left haha.

    Every time they show a Euro ford on Top Gear it annoys me. Why don't we get stuff like the Focus RS or the Escort RS Cosworth or the Escort XR3i or the Sierra Cosworth etc?

    If I'm right it's cause they don't get our sport cars so to them a RS or cosworth is a Mustang.

    I guess that makes some sense, but I think there would actually be a pretty strong market for cars like that over here especially with the younger generation, whereas the market for a Mustang or similar over there would most likely have an extremely limited market.

    i just picked up an jap import magazine for the UK...flipped through it..ill read into details once on the flight back...but after reading a few articles of fellow tuners...they arent too far off from what we do...too bad they dont have as many tuning shops as we do...

    as for the pics..i didnt think ppl would be interested but sure ill upload as many pics as i can...

    i saw a couple eg hatches today...so that brought some relief to my honda heart...ill update more later

    They get better cars than we do period. We have a much more strict set of regulations as far as emissions and crash standards go. They have all the exotics we have and some cars we will never see.

    ill get the other
    heres 2 more from my trip to liverpool
    we went to two museums there and a greatttt lunch and went back home for tea and masssive dinner lol
    the 1st picture is during out quick breakfast at this place off albert dock in liverpool. i was looking out of the window and had only this moment to ask to use my cousins iphone, take and tag myself on facebook. lame yea.


    later while in this museum of liverpool, i took this one and only pic of what i saw outside the window
    the glass window was made of some special glass which further destroyed the quality of the shot taken from an iphone
    again, this was the only moment i had since you cannot take pictures in a museum...so i captured this

    following pics are when we started our DANGEROUS journey through the highlands
    why dangerous?
    each time, driving on very thin, ICEY roads, all the whilst its snowing.
    some drivers wanted to go well above the speed limit...its dark, my cousin reveals theres no spare tire
    hes driving with an empty tank on our return trip
    it was dark, cliffs and rocks all beneath us...
    empty stomachs
    and if we were to break down,
    i wouldve had to walk thru the snowy highlands to find help
    adventure?
    YES

    did i mention, we were MILESSSS from civilization and help?????
    we were able to find petrol and my cousin convinced the owner, a humpback lady to reopen...VW gold 1.6 FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    im back
    and my biggest regret was not taking my own camera.
    i was unable to capture most things i saw...
    the very few i did, are still on my cousins iphone over there...he still has to send the pics.
    and my sibling has the rest...
    i was able to walk off with a few from facebook mobile uploads...
    since i was mainly talking about cars in this thread...it feels proper to post the only 2 cars i was able to capture, mainly the accord.
    sorry, next time i wont depend on other peoples cameras...

    i was super hammerd most of my scotland trip since i visited different pubs all throughout
    i had absinthe for the first time i fucking loved it!
    and i remember going on top of mountain Ben Nevis. THey had this bar and resturant at the top
    i remember telling the barman to give me a shot of everything he had back there...25 pounds worth later i was jus fine.
    shockingly, for a person like me who never drinks, i took it real well and was able to walk straight somehow..maybe i didnt have enough..idk
    people think im an alcoholic...
    whatever..lol
    here are all the pics:::
