    ^^ Noticed the same. Was the first morning we've had really after a proper night of freezing, makes the roads filthy.

    Read an *interesting* fact today, my car has the same front brembo calipers as the Ferrari F40. :D

    Actually...

    Its completely illegal under the Construction, equipment and use of vehicles regulations 1963 Article 34, Subsection 2 part B

    They are classed as "inessential objects/stickers"

    Inessential? They clearly never drove round in the winter and got completely blinded even with the sunshades down! Or cars from the factory with sunstrips.... F*ck it I'll get one soon :)

    On another note, last parade of the year with a difference. A very sad moment :(

    I got that from this thread. But I don't think it will pass the N.C.T if it has
    a sun strip, but even if it had to go for the test you could remove it. :)

    Never doubted you, it's fairly ridiculous!

    sitting in Honda for this recall.

    service guy gave me a tip about my keys being too heavy and having ignition problems and also having two different Honda keys next to each other with transponders.

    time to chuck some stuff. sound guys though.

    also looking at the new crv and civic in the showroom and I'm not overly impressed tbh.
