Well i technically dont count :P but i moved from the UK 5 months ago to the USA and own an Si, so i sorta fit lol.

It would be nice imo if they offered the FA5 in the UK as the accord (uk spec) isn't as nice

I want to hear your stories. . I've driven a Japanese car in Italy and ridden in it enough times to know what it's like getting scared when trucks are coming at us and I'm in the passenger seat freaking out. So tell me about the joys of making a left turn on red in an american car please.

Interesting. Well how about making a left into a left lane? That has to be odd enough the first time.

If you want to let the Civic stretch its legs you might want to think about signing up for this Hondas On Track Activity Day:
North Weald Activity Day
Be a mix of EP3s, DC5s etc... people'd get a kick of seeing an FG2. Doubt it'd take more than 60 mins to get there, as its the last M11 exit before the M25.

regardless, you have to wait until the light is green, even if it is clear.

I enjoy driving over here much more than i did in the UK.. the UK has too many speed cameras which capture your license plate, and you get a fine and point on your license in the post 2 days later

I love the UK, I have family over there all over (when I go I stay in Chisselhurst). My cousin Grahm owns a shop named Sanspeed and 1 of the guys who works there was trying to get a US spec Si, I wonder if he ever got it. Anyways the m25 is serious with all the speed trap camera's, I don't even think I saw a cop 1 time. Now all I need to do is get a tv that gets british channels because Top Gear is the best show ever ha
