Good stuff, @jdeale84. I hope you'll be happy with the car for ages to come.

It was both a daily and a tourer when we had it and took us to about 16 countries. And, no, I never used the audio either!

That's awesome! I have so many questions

What countries has it been to?! Did you buy it from new? Has it been used in any races?

I bought the car for spares about 9 years ago (I think), but it was too good to break, so we took it to a wedding ... in Norway. This thread tells of the trip. Unfortunately, it's from before the time when Photobucket messed many of us up, so no pics:
Norway

The following year's trip was to places where stringed musical instruments are or were made. Again, no pictures:
2015

I did start my YouTube channel, though, mostly of dashcam footage. The idea was to post the 100 most boring vids, but somebody spoiled the project with a 'like'! This one's part of the 2015 trip:
Switzerland

More to come.

This thread tells the same 'Stringed Instrument' story but in more detail.

I can't remember why I felt I had to do that ...

Those threads are all very interesting! and gives me faith it still has a lot of life left in it

I'm a bit addicted to the vtec though

Trying to train my brain that if I want her to live longer, I need to drive sensibly. Although just deciding when is best to sell the engine when its still working great and getting something a bit newer in to put my mind at ease. I'm sure I'll get a few more tens of thousands of miles out of her.

Don't sell any of it!

I posted at least one more road trip thread with the car.
This one has the Photobucket deletions A-Z minus Photobucket, so here's the cobbled-up YouTube slide show: A-Z slideshow
