I consider myself to be slightly educated, and I love Honda.
Speaking of that, @Jen319 has been taking A LOT of pictures of Honda's recently I've noticed ;)

Just a tad too far haha.
See, most Honda kids would want to knock your block off for saying something like that.

Because they're all insecure and trying to impress each other... and terrified that if they lose one more inch of masculinity everyone will accuse them of being raving homosexuals.
Edit: That goes for all overly agressive men

Prettyyy much.
And that's why I'll never fit in with the Honda scene.
Might have to stick around here ;)
 
went for a big country road cruise with my good friends, making use of the good weather well!

Had to scrape a bit of frost of my windscreen this morning :eek: first time since - can't remember.
Probably a couple of years now, don't like frost, ice, or snow - hate snow. Good job I've only seen it maybe five times in my life.
Bloody stuff :mad: hope we don't get any.

I have to clear my windscreen most mornings lately, even frosty inside:mad: Live pretty high up so if it is snowing anywhere then it usually is here too! Don't know whether to be scared or excited about the snow seeing as I passed my test only 4 months ago.:p
 
You can drive in snow pretty well, until it gets packed, or starts to melt, just drive steady with a light right foot.
Lots of engine braking, and brake real easy in plenty of time. If you slide, off the brake, you'll straighten up with opposite lock.
Practise on wet grass, it'll give you confidence.

thats why dad taught me handbrake turns and how to lose control and gain control of the car up salisbury plain when i was learning, prep for snow and wet conditions, instead of doing one of those days where they make you hoon it down wet tarmac and all that!

I hate wet grass
Snow is ok
But wet grass can shove it (I had my first and only off when I was on wet grass)
 
@frank @pollyp and anyone else who could help
Random question I got asked and was unsure of the answer so I didn't respond. I'm a suspension nut not an engine person

Someone wants more valve lift but doesn't want to change his cams. Can he just put 1mm shims in to achieve it? If so what else would it affect? I'm assuming duration and valve overlap :/

Got rid of my ****ty flexi pipe in exchange for a 60mm drainage pipe, works a treat!

Gonna get some reducers and stick some 51mm alloy tubing when I get a chance. 0flat spots and yet again more power. Before 3rd rev'd to 80 on flat, now it's somehow 85. Seems a sealed induction makes a difference
 
kinda accidentally belted my mates new fiesta reversing.... we were parked waaaaay too close to each other because it was raining and i started turning too early... my bad hahaha. only a small dent that will pull out and a few scratches but still, hes only had it about a week D:! i only got more scratches added to the same spot where i had loads anyway, still feel bad though!
