Mmmm I thought 4 was unlucky in Japan

But 7 is their lucky number...right?

And going by the other badges thrown on at random..who's to say the person who get's number 3 is actually getting number 12?

Else we know the person getting #14 will be actually getting the 13th made..therefore is still unlucky...right?

Sorry, the omission of #13 was down to me.

A (semi) interesting story if you're interested; we were once building a run of Formula Nippon cars and, due to production issues, it turned out purely by chance that the 13th chassis was the one we sent for impact testing (normal practice would suggest that you would try to pass the crash test with one of your first-built before going into full production), and it got totally trashed, and so we had to scrap the chassis and retrospectively apply a fix to the previous 12 that were already made. We usually reckoned on passing crash tests with ease, and this was a pure coincidence I know, but I always remember it.

maybe they just build a 13 and just crash them

Hello all,
This was parked down the road on Saturday, but took me ages to figure out how to get the photos off my iphone as never tried to take them off before, Nokias are much more intuitive to use...

Well the dash had some major dials, a bit like the Defi ones that you sometimes see on really nice Imprezas etc... and the exhausts were much nicer than the triangle ones that you see on most new Civics, they were like huge trumpets that looked simply gorgeous! The discs were HUGE and the callipers were equally massive! Not forgetting that rear wing!! Put simply, I wasn't too keen on the new Civic, but this has really opened my eyes to them now. I hope that mods start to come thick and fast for the FN2 as I can see myself one day switching to one of these beasts. Also an added bonus is the interior is a much nicer place to be.

The number plate was the icing...

Anyway enjoy :thumbup:










Wish I'd had my proper camera with me.

Just been to see my mate today, in Birmingham, and I couldn't believe it... the MU09 GEN prototype was parked in the space between my mates cayman s and a bentley continental... when I got a little excited about this, my mate said "oh that max power piece of crap; sounds great but looks like a proper chav-toaster; why would some idiot ruin a great car? it belongs to the chap in the apartment below me" to which I had to laugh before explaining the significance of such car. Who is driving it about??

It doesn't belong to anyone mate. Its Mugen and Honda's development car. Not sure who has it at the moment.

What a car! And whats the chances of just spotting it down the road from you! :cooldude:
If these things were priced in the region of the Mugen 200 i would have definately taken the plunge.. :thumbup:

The engine alone is worth more than most EP3's.

Hey Rob,
