Nice job! I have a question though. 4th car above yours is a blue honda. In the USA, that model is called the Del Sol (I drove one before my MINI). The owner calls it a CRX in his description (which over here was a completely different model). Is the Del Sol really called a CRX over there, or does the owner not even know what he owns?

It was a stop start day long job. I did the inside too with some Turtle Wax stuff that was really good.

That's very interesting! Because over here up until 1993, the CRX was a much different model of Honda's that was beloved by racers. Then it was replaced in the Honda lineup by the Del Sol (what you call the CRX), and the CRX lovers were outraged! Here's a pic of the American CRX:

Nice job paul, you should have gotten the MINI2 sticker somewhere in the picture! (Or photoshopped MINI2 on your plate)

It still looks like a roller skate regardless if its a 'CRX' or a Del Sol, (Del Sol's a stupid name anyway, I'm sure Honda renamed it to avoid 'defacing' the CRX name, also they were off in the Acura naming scheme of 3 letters, so lets not confuse people).

Magic 8-ball was correct. All be in awe of Magic 8 ball.
