I'm not one to go out and buy cars, but this Honda Civic Type R has to be one of my best acquisitions ever. How, when I'm so far along and have much greater cars?
Because this car is teaching me how to drive Manual again. Its smooth 6 ratios are a wonder, and the FF chassis has gobs of agility. My example is painted in the classic Championship White color, a Civic tradition, even though I bought it in Vivid Blue Pearl. (I didn't know it came in Championship White.) It came with no mods except for the classy aero parts.
It's had practice at the fabled Nurburgring 24H and the AJH Proving Grounds (Mt. Aso, the pictures above), and proves the best FF car I've driven. Period.
Oh look, a corner. Such a boring front. ED? That's a disease or something, right? My shots don't make it look anymore sporty... Neither do dirt clouds. Love. I have none for this car. 140hp + Karussel = still not fun. Rain. Great... I painted it Interlagos Blau from a BMW. Would look better as a taxi cab. *yawn* Hint: it's not an R8. 9 minutes and 40 seconds later.
