hence more and more thrashed type Rs
i dont understand why you cant respect your own property as a p-plater.
I guess the first batch of EP's imported with no indicators on the fenders are even more rare than.

Took me a while to find a mint one before, but looks like it's even harder now as there aren't much ep3s coming in.
Yep indeed. Getting rarer but not looked after by owners.Quote:

Not all P-platers thrash and abuse their cars, I got my P-plates 5 days ago and I've owned my EP3 for about 4 months now and it's seen two services, washed and polished weekly. Of course I like to hit vtec here and there but other then that I treat my car as it were my girlfriend.Quote:

I wouldn't consider an EP3 as a rare car, something like an EG6 would be rare.
But yeah who doesn't hit vtec once in a while?
