Vintage Honda Gathering. S600; S800; T500; N600; Z600; and more.
This weekend, I attended the 2005, 14th annual Vintage Honda owners gathering.
The turn out wasn't as great as expected, likely do to the recent spike in gas prices (people usually drive or tow their vintage Honda's from around the national to this event).
Dispite the small turn out, there were some very nice cars in attendance.
This mint-condition 1965 Honda S600 Roadster is owned by Brian Baker, owner of Formula H motorworks (he hosts the annual event at his shop). This car was featured in a late 1999/ early 2000 edition of Car and Driver, to show the comparision of the then recently released S2000. No expense was spared on the restoration of this car, and everything about it looks brand new. My pictures really do the car no justice.
Brian is also the owner of this RHD 1966 (I believe thats' the correct year) Honda S800 Roadster:
^^^ Brian giving my girlfriend a ride.
His two S cars together:
Brian also owns this RHD 1964 Honda T500 Pickup Truck. This truck is one of two known in North America, and the only one known to exist in the US. It's in original unrestored condition, and with the exception of a few spots where the paint is flaking, it's in almost mint condition. This was the first vehicle I rode in which was RHD, and what an experience it was.
^^^ My girlfriend gets another ride.
^^^ and Honda's newest truck, compared to Honda's oldest.
Here's a 1975 Honda Civic CVCC 5speed owned by one of the members in attendance. This car also underwent a "no expense spared" restoration, and is in showroom condition:
And a group shot of all the cars:
That's all for now, I'll post more pictures of other cars later after I upload them.

Most people didn't bring their cars. There where about a dozen owners, myself included, who didn't tow their cars to the meet.
