Pencil Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hey kids, what time is it? It's Honda time of course. I have an Accord Coupe 2.0 in dark green with a manual gearbox, which has been my daily driver for the past 2 years. Love it! Had a Mk 7 diesel estate before and have owned variousHondas for years. Just happened to chance across this forum when searching for a rear spoiler (yeah, I know, but does anyone grow out of being a boy racer really?? The elderly gentleman who I bought the car from put an ear-bending stainless steel exhaust on it...) - so thought I'd join up. In good news, it passed its MOT today with very few advisories and nothing concerning. Pretty good for a car which will be 21 years old this year. Apologies for poor quality pic, shown here with its stablemate Mitsubishi FTO. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencil Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Wocher. Thanks all, glad to be here. Ha ha Mitsusquishy 😂😂😂😂 I quite like that. More pics will follow in due course. I'm a photographer by profession so obviously never get round to photographing my own stuff / cars / family / etc. History? Erm. Bought it from a very nice 79 year old gentleman a couple of years back, after my 7th Gen diesel estate decided it needed a new clutch and alternator at the same time, just after my dear wife dented two doors. The coupe is now our sensible family car, a role it performs quite well. Big in the back seat (2 kids, 7 & 9) and a decent boot, leather interior and surprisingly good on petrol consumption. Add rare and interesting enough to keep me happy and a manual 'box and we're onto a winner. It's just nicely run in at 100,000 miles. That's probably all for now. I expect I'll think of more things that you and I would think interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member PaulS Posted March 13, 2021 Founding Member Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Welcome from me too. My 3 litre coupe also has a Mitsubishi stablemate - in my case a 1981 Lancer 2000EX turbo. My MPG is not too good in either - around 20 about town but probably equal on a long steady legal speed motorway run at around 35mpg. But my Coupe is argueably more comfortable and definitely quieter! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mc Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi, always liked the FTO's. I saw one for the first time in a long time yesterday. Everything else around it and modern looks samey and boring. Different is always best 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencil Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks Andy, I love mine, had it for about 9 years (though the car itself is turning 27 this year!). I've always run an Accord of some description alongside it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mc Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Definitely need a spoiler on the Accord, finishes off the styling just so. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencil Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I agree. I've got one from one of my dearly departed Preludes which might fit with a bit of jiggery-pokery and paint. There's also one on ebay in the correct colour, but I believe it's for a saloon Accord, so probably isn't quite right either. I guess I'll keep my eyes peeled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
