Black Extra Extra read all about it.........

jumpman23 · 12th September 2007, 20:50

Hi all,

Next saturday I'll be driving this beauty, because than I will be handed over the keys. I'm leaving my Renault Megane Privilege Grand Tour 1.9 dCi behind and hope for very very pleasant kilometers. I thought I would go for a very reliable car this time and never make a Renault mistake again.

I will post some more pictures without the transport material, but for now it is all I have.

It is a 2.2 i-CTDi Executive and as you can read in my signature I have added some Honda accessories.

Take Care,
Jumpman23

As promised a picture without the transport material, this is my new beauty on the drive back home from my dealership, isn't she lovely?????

(Photo is shot by a Nokia phone, so quality maybe a little off)

HappyMan · 18th September 2007, 19:22

Not bad for a nokia phone.

Car looks nice though - very clean.

Enjoy

Blackcivic · 18th September 2007, 19:22

ziet er goed uit

- (looks great)

you'll need to wash the NHB more than other colours.. thats what i noticed (previous cars always red) after 3/4 days dust and bird crap ... but still the best looking colour

have fun

DeanFYoung · 18th September 2007, 19:30

Looks great! Black in the best colour (IMHO)!!

Pick mine up tomorrow morning! Very excited!!
have got camera all ready to take some pictures!!

Enjoy your motor

screawm · 19th September 2007, 15:40

l-noel · 19th September 2007, 18:21

Today cleaned it for the first time. In 6 days I have driven 1800km so the car was dirty as hell

, that's what you get when buying a NHB. But when you wash it it pays of very well..

Next week I drive to Paris so I probaly can wash it again when I return form Paris.

Looks like I will be washing it every week

jumpman23 · 22nd September 2007, 19:13

Update: New Picture

I'm getting there slowly

TTDegs · 23rd September 2007, 07:33

NHB is a right pain to keep clean - but when its just been done, no ther colour comes close

(In my somewhat bias opinion anyway

)

Very nice

jumpman23 · 10th October 2007, 20:32

After 3 weeks already I have driven 4000km (2500miles) and loving every km of it. This is is a picture of my Civic at a parkinglot at Disneyland Resort Paris. The engine is just amazing always got the power you need, and a decent mileage as well. It is a shame they did not fit a bigger fueltank (50ltr) is a bit small for such a car which makes driving sooooooo much fun. How is it with a petrol one I ask myself? but on the otherhand the V-power toy Ferarri collection is almost complete

jumpman23 · 29th October 2007, 19:03

Next week I am getting my wintertyres fitted, has anyone any experience with a Civic with wintertyres?? Maybe some Civic drivers in scandanavian countries?? They will fit Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 225/45R17 at my request.

FWH · 29th October 2007, 20:05

Well yes - but I use studded winter tyres.
Have Pirellis on the Civic - not the best, but OK.

I think studded winter tyres are illegal overhere (the Netherlands). But thanks for your respons. I'll let you know how the Michelins are doing in a couple of days.
