Well this past summer I made my way over to scotland to visit my family, I decided to stop by the honda dealer with my grandpa so he could drop off his ATR for a tune up. I decided to look at the new cars they just got in. I decided to ask If I could take one for a drive. Good thing my grandpa is in with the salesmen and he let me drive his personal CTR. They said all the new CTRs where spoken for and they had 6 sitting there in the lot. It took some getting used to, I havn't driven on the other side of the road or car for about a year but after i got comfyboy was it fun. The car just screams and handles 10 times better then the USDM Si. Enjoy the pics.
















heres a nice milano red one.




here is the civic sport. The equivilent ot our Si





Hope you enjoyed the pics. Also does anyone on here own a real CTR. What do you think of it. How do you like it.

are the rear bumpers smaller than USDM? looks like it in the pics

 

damn, i bet that ctr was fun to drive

 

that a car not the si that i buy that y i am changing it to the type r

 

Never seen the lighted mirrors, looks funky. Funny how such subtle changes make the car look so much better. Bumpers, skirts, lips, etc....

Yup the ctr bumpers are a tad different. Obviously smaller and they also lack the buslights on them (read signal lenses). The front bumper is a little differnt in design as well.

No sidemarkers either, replaced with the lighted mirrors that are pictured.

 

awsome pics i wish i lived back in europe

 

i like!

 

looks great, thanks America

You got lucky...

 

anybody kno if those mirrors on that ctr will fit a rsx?

 

That car was from the garage in Edinburgh as i am from edinburgh in scotland and i recognise the dealership.

 

Those mirrors are on the revised EP3 in the uk and comes with the built in indicators.

Yes it is in edinburgh. I believe it was the Catham dealer. (SP) The salesmen there where very nice. They let me look around the garage and everything. I also got a few CTR brochures and a cool book on Hondas history along with the accord "Cog" commercial. It has special featers showing how th video was made and a whole bunch of other cool vids.

Or cosmic grey..

 

or a whole CTR......

 

I went to that dealership to look for a type r and the salesman off that garage treated me and my friends like boy racers who only came out to thrash their demo cars all becos we were dressed in baggy clothes. Needless to say that dealer never got my sale or my friends and we both purchased elsewhere. My type r is a satin silver one.

 

I have a few off them cog dvds and a limited edition type r bag which i got for free.

 

Do you know the salesmens name you talked to. There was a salesmen there that didnt seem to like me. He told the other salesmen that he shouldn't let me drive his car but we talked for a good while and he got to know me. Plus he is friends with my gramps so I'm sure that helped out. There is also a mechanic there named Neil. He was really cool I got a bunch of parts for my crx off him for great price. I wish I got to see a silver one in person. That was the only color they didn't have there. I still think milano red is the best and satin silver is second in my opinion.
