Excellent game!
I was going to welcome you to the club, but then I saw the little blue guy in the garage.
How do you like the Accord? Personally I can't get myself to like the sedan from any angle. Sometimes the coupe is nice. I did sit in a sedan in the dealership one day and couldn't believe how big and roomy it felt compared to my Civic. Very comfortable too, but then again I think all seats are going to feel like a well-worn sofa compared to the sport buckets in the Si.
It simply blows my mind ! 190HP, tons of interior room and no interior road noise what so ever. It feels so much more luxurious than the last '87 Accord we had. The larger gas tank costs us $12 more each fill up, but then the range is extended by almost 100 miles. The first tank of gas covered 450 miles ... and that's with no engine break in yet. Our Honda boat motor is 15 years old I might add that my Honda lawnmower is 20 years old and the Honda lawntractor is 18 years old ... all running perfectly
£30 bought me the adapters, from a UK site called Telescope House (helpfully appearing on my credit card as "Telescope Ho").
Much of the noise has been introduced by Photoshop's autocontrast - though as I say, it was indoors, through double-glazing, in a built-up area, with a badly set-up telescope, with the camera doing the auto settings and my finger on the shutter release making it wobble. Until I hop up to the moors and try it unobstructed, with a timer release (or ideally a remote), I won't get as good a photo as I can. But as an experiment/learning experience, it's cool as
Boss BR600 this is seriously one of hell of a piece of kit. Can't wait to learn how to use it to it's full potential! 👍
I've had Hondas (cars) since 1981 (always had one and sometimes two). (Honda Goldwing since 1975). I've had every one they make except the S2000 and NSX. Everyone of them has surpassed my expectations and everyone of them have been bullet proof. This is my 4th Accord. A couple years ago when gas prices were shooting up through the roof towards $5 a gallon, I decided to trade in our CRV and get a new Civic. I wanted a 4-door but the 4-door Civic was just not up to my standards when it came to "looks". The Coupe looked really awesome by comparison so we got an '08 Coupe. The fuel economy was awesome, at 28 and 36 MPG.
However, now that my wife is joining me in retirement and the price of gas has somewhat stabilized, we want to start travelling coast to coast and wanted the additional comfort and room of the Accord. I can't describe what an awesome car the Accord is
The funny part of the story as it relates to your comment is that the little blue Civic you see in the shed belongs to a friend, who purchased it for his son as a college graduation present and didn't want him to see it while he was home for Christmas, so I stored it for him
Note: I also have a truck to pull our Honda powered boat on vacations. It's over 3 years old and just turned over 18K miles
That boat looks like a ton of fun too...You may have noticed the link to my Civic (Si) in my sig.
Cool! Any pictures of the FG1 before we get too off-topic?
First Honda car for my family, though my dad and I have sworn by Honda motorcycles and the like for ever. I started out on a '97 90cc (TRX?) ATV, then got a XR70 dirtbike new a few years later (1999?), then we went all out and had a 2003 CRF150F, 2003 250EX, ~2004 Rancher ES 2WD, 2001 Shadow Spirit 750, 2005 Reflex, and a Metropolitan and Ruckus. Also a Yamaha TW200. Nearly all at once...Got rid of a couple in the middle of there, I couldn't tell you what order anymore. Now we've just got my Civic and the Metropolitan.
That's a nice one. I've always used a Korg PXR4 which I love. What type of music do you make, and what other gear do you own? I used to do Sampling for my friends post-rock (Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, etc) band but I got tired of it and began to do some Dub-Step.
My main passion is Harsh Noise and Power Electronics but I highly doubt there are any other fans here on these forums.
I just bought a new pedal about a week ago (Boss BF3 Flanger) which is looming in this picture which is my current Drone/Minimal set-up:
And is it any good?
Got them in this exact color... Some parts look a bit like Carbon Fibre which is cool...
