Hello from the UK

[Univex]

Curiosity has mostly brought me here. I'm Gareth From the central England, where i work as a parts advisor within a Honda main dealer.

This week I supplied a set of 19" Rage alloys to a chap in Adelaide, so it got me thinking about what goes on over here. So here I am. :wave:

Cheers,
Gaz.

Hey Gaz, how's it goin matey? Nice of u to drop a line. Honda scene quite big here in Oz...how is it up there? :D

[Univex]

Thanks for the welcome. Looking around, you have a decent forum over here as well.

In the UK the most popular Honda's are the EP3 Civic Type'R, and the DC2 Integra's. Modifying influences tend to be from the Japanese tuning shops, rather than any outrageous aesthetic styling. Although most UK owners do like their small subtle exterior mods.

I would post a picture of my car, but it would be irrelevant. Despite me working for Honda, I actually drive a Ford Focus (would of thought you would of heard of one). :eek: :D

It's very standard and boring. It will be going at the end of next month for something a bit more exciting.

The problem with cars here in the Uk is the compulsory insurance charges.
For example when i was 19 i owned a 2000 model 1.2L Ford Fiesta:

at the time the car was worth £5000, but I was paying £2500 a year to insure it. I have now hit 24 (this week), so i am only just able to start to insure a reasonably quick car.

PS. Alnug, don't go telling THAOC what I actually drive lol.
