I saw a new Civic Type R on the Pacific Motorway between Brisbane and Gold Coast last night.

It had a normal number plate (not a special dealers one)... so i guess it was probably the demo car for Honda or one of the first delivered to a customer.

It looked awesome !.

i'm not suprised at this but, they get shipped to the other side of the planet from the UK and they sell it for less than the price is costs us here to buy one. i hate uk prices for all goods.

That is HOT!!!

I reckon if I hadn't've bought the Colt by now, I would be seriously thinking about one of these things. Love high revving hondas..

Its packed full of features and the engine makes some really good power.
