    Lmao its actually champagne metallic although they named it sparkling silver. Wouldnt have another silver car mate. Was great seeing Phil today, nice to have a good chat away from civic5 (although we did have our tea in civic5 mugs! Lol). Really liking the CRV he got, clean as! Anyhoo, Roxy is now gone so better spill the beans on her replacement. Well, decided on a total change............so bought a gen 2 MINI Cooper! Know not everyones cup of tea, but i really like it. Still quick enough to have fun in, but cheap to run. Handles superb, more room inside than we thought and drives spot on. Got a crackkng deal (they got roxy, i got the cooper plus £450 plus got the price i wanted for roxy too! Shes the same year as roxy but with less miles. Got new wheels picked out for it already (same as DD's) and lots of other stuff too. Running this is gonna save me a fortune, so DD will get the attention she needs now. Will post pics in a bit, been running about daft today so not took any. Phils got one i think. Will start a new topic for her asap. So, Farewell Roxy, been fun!

    Well, it's the end of the story for Roxy and me. She's been traded in for something completely different (which I'm keeping under wraps for now!). Goes away on Friday, so been busy stripping out the double din conversion etc and sat nave module for the head unit. Got to the point that fuel consumption was just too much for me (270 miles to a tank!), along with the £295 for tax (which was up at the end of the month), and the insurance which runs out 1st July. The MOT is also out on the 27th of this month, and she needs to front tyres and also the clutch is on the way out! Labour for the clutch is £600 alone plus the price of the clutch on top so just thought to hell with it, time to cut my losses and run! Was also getting fed up of the stiff suspension and tensing up if I even saw as much as a cigarette butt in the road! (Basically yeah, I'm getting too old for this shit!) So got offered a great deal on the trade in so went for it. The new car still does 0-60 in around 8.8 secs, so not too bad, but also still returns 52mpg. Road tax is £110 for the year and insurance is cheaper too. Meaning I'll be saving a shed load of money. Meaning I can mod it!!! Will reveal all on Friday. Going to be sad to see Roxy go, has been a really fun car to drive and will miss that power. But no point having a car like this if you can't drive it like it's meant to be driven. I think the garage owner is actually having the TypeR for himself or has someone in mind for her. As Gayle said, getting Roxy was something I just had to do at the time. I needed something quick to replace Ruby, and I'd always wanted a TypeR, so it was an itch I had to scratch. But I've been there and done it now, so time to move on. Hoping she stays local like my TypeS aka Lexy, as it would be nice to see her going about.

    Haha nice one mate! Drifting's ace isn't it! Gayle got me a drift experience last year, and totally loved it. Not as easy as it looks though! One thing I found was I was too gentle with the car (to start with! ) as you are with someone elses car, but once I got thrashing it that was it! Was hooked! Immense fun!
  15. Dave
    Ah, sorry Anthony, don't think we have any of the exterior ones left mate. I'll have a look next time I'm in the garage and if there's one in amongst all the others I'll send it to you bud

    @Chandler I get what you're saying mate, but the last while I've had too much going on away from civic5 to have the time to go to meets and shows. College and exams has taken up a lot of my free time, plus I work every weekend and as I'm just part time, don't have a lot of hols to use. Then there's been other personal stuff such as Jims illness the past two years which although didn't affect the meets at first, they did have an effect the last year or so. I've been trying to split my time between so many things that have to take priority over the social side of civic5 mate. I'm still struggling for time even now, as we're trying to get Gayles move in here finalized (she's in, but we're upside down trying to fit in all the stuff as the house was already crammed full of my junk! lol So been driving rental vans moving stuff around etc. We still have her house to decorate top to bottom now before we can sell it so again, time isn't on my side just now. The major downside for me at the moment though is what has happened to Jim. With him passing away and me losing my best friend, my head really isn't in a good place at the moment. Once things are all settled (move finished, house sold, college stuff finalized) then I'll be at a hella lot more civic 5 social events includng the shows. Don't worry, you'll soon be moaning you're seeing too much of me! lmao I'll deffo get back into things on here mate, and DD will be doing the rounds up and down the country Apologies for not being around like I should, things will change soon

    Should be good to go now mate. Sorry about that! Was one setting on the Supporters group that was wrong (I must have had a blonde moment!) should be all ok now, let me know if problem persists.

    Thank you so much for this Sarah. I know Joanne (Jims wife) will really appreciate it x

    Yeah, diesel would be nice mate but hard to find ones that have been looked after and had all the important stuff done. Prefer the colour of yours, suits it well. Not keen on the plain silver ones, too many of them kicking about. Has this one got the table in the back too? If not, see if you can get access to yours to remove it before insurance takes over the car
  24. Dave
    4am train! bloody hell, that's some trip mate! See, you could have crashed here (maybe the wrong choice of words considering what happened to your CRV!) but not got a spare room now Gayle and Faith have moved in. Still, can offer lots of quality tea and coffee etc. Looking forward to seeing the new CRV. What colour did you get?
  25. Dave
    Fridays perfect mate! What time do you reckon you'll be here?
