HR-V: Five years old – One year on.

Posted on April 16, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, Personal.

My Honda HR-VWhat was your first car? Was it a little Fiesta/Corsa/Panda etc? I bet you had it because of insurance/cheap to run reasons right?

These were the vehicles I was looking at whilst having lessons late 2004/early 2005. None of them really appealed though as I would always be thinking ‘I’d like something a little bigger… with a bit more speed and reliability’.

There was always one car I’d liked the look of (more…)

Honda Civic Type R

Posted on February 25, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.

The 2007 Civic Type RThey said it was dead – they said no more ‘Type R’ Civics would ever be made…

But, ladies and gentlemen – It’s back from the dead in its new 2006 3-door body shell form. These are the first shots of the new 2007 Honda Civic Type R.

Wow.

As if the standard version didn’t look good enough (well – the European version anyway), this thing is awesome. Anyone who says Honda is dull, boring and only make cars for old people, well, I’ll let the pictures do the talking ;-)

The rear of the 2007 Type R CivicWhat’s also amazing is that they are talking about doing a ‘Type RR’ – an idea borrowed from the motorbike division, featuring lightweight carbon fibre-bodied versions of the Type R’s. Can’t wait for the shots of those!

“When is it out?” I hear you scream (or is that just in my head?)… early 2007 is the answer. More details will tip up during the Geneva Motor show taking place next week.

Another Civic movie

Posted on February 19, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.

A still from the Honda Civic shortThe ‘Lost in Space’ guys have produced a brilliant short movie for the launch of the new Honda Civic here in Europe.

Around 2 minutes long, the movie sees the car in some surreal poses and angles. It’s not quite as good as the UK advert that’s currently running – but still excellent.

Take a look at the short : Lost in Space ‘Honda Civic’ movie.

Posted on February 14, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, Photography.

Formula OneMore photographs have been added to the F1 section – including the one above of Mark Webber’s Jaguar that came roaring towards me a 50mph+ whilst I was kneeling down in his pit box and not paying much attention! Still… I got a great shot out of it!
