Hello everyone,
My name's Lewis and I'm from the Leicestershire area!
On Tuesday 29th October after the longest 3 weeks wait of my life so far, I finally picked up my first ever DC5 :lol:
I've been on the forum for a little while now reading up on as much as physically possible before i took the plunge, the utter mass of knowledge and information here is astounding, it really helped me decide on what to get/look for and where to go, so I'd just like to say thank you to everyone for all the great work!
I had my heart set on a face lift model, year as late as possible and it had to be either Vivid blue pearl or Milano red...Unfortunately I didn't have the funds readily available to have one imported in my personal specification as I was having trouble selling my BMW 1 Series, so a part exchange was required.
The decision was made to make the 8 hour round trip to Torque-GT in Devon to view the only Vivid blue pearl face lift available in the country, a quick viewing with Mike (As many of you know, Great guy) I went away to 'think' - Needless to say Mike got a call lunch time the next day - decision made, deposit taken...!
Anyway!!! Sorry this was only supposed to be a quick hello...The pictures...!
Out with the old.
In with the new.
I'm new to Honda but have a keen interest in anything Japanese, Despite my car history not as such reflecting this...my history in no order ( Please don't judge me, Haha)
Rover 200 (First car)
Seat Leon 1.9tdi MK2
Nissan Skyline R33 GTS
Toyota Celica 1.8vvti
BMW 123D
Honda Integra Type R (Current)
At the minute she's stock apart from Mugen sports suspension, but as soon at the pockets go deep enough...this will change!
Wrapping up my 'blabbing' now, but after everything i have read and learned from you guys so far, i just hope I'll be able to contribute some advice or help to someone on the forum at some point in the future.
Thanks for looking, and Hello! :xyes:
