Another newbie saying hello

dja771 · 25th October 2006, 13:07

Hey all,

Just found this forum from browsing the honestjohn.co.uk website.

My wife has just purchased (should be collecting this Saturday) a new silver Civic 1.4 SE (with alloy upgrade). I've always liked the new Civic since I first saw it, but it took quite a bit of persuassion to get her to agree to it!! She's been looking around now for a few weeks to replace her 2004 CR-V (which is drinking too much petrol) and had looked at Mini Cooper, Golf, B*W 1 Series, and the Civic - fortunetely, she saw sense in the end.

Quite surprised to learn that for a 2006 car, it doesn't have an MP3 connector as standard, but I guess you can't have everything.

Cheers,
D.

Hello and welcome dja771, it may not have an MP3 connector but it will play CD's containin MP3's

dja771 · 25th October 2006, 13:11

Ah, cool, didn't realise that.

Note to Honda: Update your brochure and mention this!

Copycat · 25th October 2006, 13:12

Welcome dja771!

What car are you driving? Wouldn't it look great to have two of those babies next to each other?

The latest word is it may not have that connector as an option either.

dja771 · 25th October 2006, 13:19

Copycat, I've got a Lexus GS300 SEL.

I've previously owned a few Honda's too...

1998 Accord Coupe (before they killed it off in the UK)
2002 CR-V Exec
2005 Accord Saloon 2.4 Exec (it was nice)

Wife has previously had a Civic too, back in 2003.

So, you could say we like them!!

welcome Mr & Mes dja771

it's a great place here, full of info (and other stuff too

)

SUPERTEACH · 25th October 2006, 17:00

I am sure you will enjoy the new civic.

This is THE place for information, news, facts and one or three laughs.

You never know what you might learn etc.

Not many owners from Scotland so you are keeping the spread nationwide.

Good luck and HAPPY MOTORING

Just as a side line:

Is DJA 771 a car reg as JA used to be for Stockport which was then in Cheshire?

dja771 · 25th October 2006, 19:02

Nah, A lot of people (on forums) think that might be a reg number, but it's actually my initials, month and year born! I've been using that username on all car forums I've joined over the past 5/6 years.

I do have a private plate on the Lex, but it's my son's name!
