good article. They need to check some of their stats though. 1.6L in a integra? He really should put the Red H badges on it and not the standard H badge, but it was a goood article.

LOL, I noticed the typo too. I believe some of the old school Integras came with 1.6L (or in some cases 1.7L) engines, but the Type R definitely doesn't!

Great article. BTW, did anyone notice the mistake in the side-column? 1.6-Litre V-tec?

Re: Greatest newspaper article ever!! (Edwin)

I met the guy who wrote the article at a car show in Sept. He took the pics that day, then called me last week to chat and get some quotes... Nobody believes me about the bus pass comment.

hee hee. Thanks Skelly for posting the article. Another mistake, it was a CBR600 not a CVR600 that I owned... Yeah, I went to chrome

'cos I didn't want the red ones getting stolen.

A Honda dealer is right. But not on this side of either pond.
