Civic Type-R

Just got some photos up, but sadly only because I am selling it. Has been my pride and joy for 18 months. Spent Sunday washing and polishing every inch of it for these photos. Will be gutted to say goodbye - they're awesome cars.

Very nice, is the TV factory?

Yeah - it's actually just a sat nav unit, but controls the audio as well. A nice simple interface, not high tech, but easy to use and hasn't got me lost yet! I will miss that in my new car.

Nice, what is it being replaced with?

What you getting to replace it then? i'd be sad to see it go!

Oh does the Type R have 3 3point seat belts in the rear?

No it doesn't, it doesn't have a lap belt either. Classed as a 4 seater.

Elise 111R so every cloud has a silver lining I suppose. I had another Type-R before this as well, so really attached to them.

keep the type R, might be useful for the lotus

Well, funny you should say that - I did think it might make a useful donor car, but I need the money to be honest, mate. Need to pay the mortgage as well as dabbling in silly cars!

Type R is lovely but I think the Lotus will blow your socks off!

The 111R is my realistic dream car. Just an astounding piece of kit in every way. I can't wait, but I do love my Civic - I've done so many awesome journeys in it, including Spa for the Belgian GP and it's been faultless. Just love the noise in the VTEC in third!

Great car, reminds me of mine. Was exactly the same.
