Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 19, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yep, too right Stu. Haven't seen the other local coupe today. I've got another gadget coming....it's a Bluetooth rear view mirror! I know. Cool. It clips over your existing mirror, your pair it with your phone and then answer calls, etc using buttons at the bottom or you can set it to answer automatically. I think it also shows you the number behind the glass, should be coolio at night. Me and my gadgets..... I'll do a thread when it arrives probably mid week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 20, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I keep trying to catch the owner of a White Gold 2 Legend (3.2 i think) that regularly visits my next door neighbour to try and direct him to the forum so know how you feel Geoff. Congrats on Mrs Geoffs MoT as well! Interested in this Bluetit Mirror though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 20, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Sorry - Bluetooth Mirror! Feeling a bit bird-brained at the moment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 21, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I do like my gadgets Dave.....well I did resist getting the HUD so this is a compromise. Got to stop spending now as holiday is looming in September....oh and off to London in a couple of weeks where it costs £1M to park your car for a few hours and yes, I think we'll go in the coupe too! Show them Londoners what a great car looks like! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 21, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Little tip for you Geoff - pay your Con-Gestion Charge before you go, you can pay in advance and get it down to a tenner! You need to find the TfL (Transport for London) website although they may have changed the name slightly so have a search and see what comes up - there are many websites around that charge you £15 - a fiver of that goes to them for doing it for you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 24, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ahsy....We're going to Greenwich, the Old Naval College. Dave...Not sure if this is in the congestion zone though? I know I need to sort out parking or Travelodge or Hotel. Parking anywhere is a nightmare and charges are daylight robbery! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 24, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I think that is in the Congestion Zone Geoff but double-check in case . Also double-check your route to see if that takes you into the CCZ (Congestion Charging Zone) and also to make sure your route OUT doesn't take you into the zone! Sounds daft but you might be better off using a National Distress Coach - they have some amazing deals online if you pre-book like a quid each way on some routes - saves the headache of parking, traffic jams, congestion charge and the risk of getting pranged in London by someone who doesn't understand Birmingham driving!

Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted June 24, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Geoff, Greenwich isn't in the Congestion Zone and when you get off the M1 you can take the North Circular (A406) direct eastbound to the A13 the go twards the City and then cross the river via The Rotherhithe Tunnel. This will avoid the cc. Let me know how long you're down for and when. Let me know if you want to meet up.....it would be so nice to meet you and the haze. I live 3-4 miles away from Greenwich. One of my close friends lives there and my sister in law works at the National Maritime Museum there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 25, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 This is where we're going, Old Naval College in Greenwich: http://www.greenwichmusictime.co.uk/book-tickets/2cellos- I've checked and it's outside the charging zone so happy days. Looks like it'll be M6 > M1 > M25 > M11 > Blackwall Tunnell then right at the end. I've paid £10 to park the car in a private mews garage for the evening (Yes, there's a parking website where people rent out their drives, garages etc so people can park). Coolio. Then it's about a 15 minute walk to the College. They're not really 'my cup of tea' but the wife has brought me tickets to see Black Sabbath in Birmingham for February 2017 as an early birthday present. Last ever gig so that should be good, Ozzy, Geezer, Bill and Tony. Rock On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 25, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Sounds good Geoff! I was disappointed the first time i went through the Blackwall Tunnel - the walls were grey! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 26, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I've never been through it Dave. I try to avoid London at all costs and only go down there if I have to.....Last time was at Hammersmith Apollo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 26, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm the same Geoff - last time was about october/Novemeber time when i plundered that geen 825 coupé for bits for mine. One Jeep loaded to the gunwales with a late interiro and a few other bits including the carpet and soundproofing and a wronf turn that took me straight into the congestion charge, past the Houses of Parliament, along Embankment, past Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Millenium Dome etc (not necessarily in that order) but i ended up on the A13 heading out to Romford/Dagenham/Barking and thankfully the M25 which i then had to back-track round to get to the M11 and the way home!

BN Coupe Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Just come back from a few days' holiday in Lisbon, where I didn't see a single HAC of any age or description. In fact, apart from some ageing Civics and Jazzes it was pretty much a Honda-free zone. I wonder whether the HAC was ever sold in Portugal. Maybe most of Europe found the design too American. I resisted going up a busy, twisty mountain road in a Citroen 2CV, open-top Renault 4 or Tuc-Tuc and waited ages for the safety of a bus instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted June 10, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Nice vid, full look around ! Thought it was an American version but kph speedo, like the nice quiet roads for testing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted June 10, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just watching it again, yes, it is sad I know and realising the paint is not black but the colour of mine, green ! This is something I noticed on mine when I got it earlier this year, in certain lights the colour can change, almost like a flip paint job, really strange, or not ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted July 18, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I am not aware of any current residents here with a black Accord 3.0 V6 Coupe here Andrew, seen a few sold in recent months, so could be a new owner of one of those maybe? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BN Coupe Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I've seen it before around here, but mostly when it was parked on the street. This time the driver saw me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
