My first car was a '79 Honda Accord with a manual transmission. Grandfather taught me how to drive stick in it.

Damn, I miss my grandfather. Fond memories of the car too.

Saw your post on TCL. Here were the other pics to share

My heart hit VTec today.













This gem had 68 miles on it, and was my favorite car there. Words nor pictures can depict it's immaculacy.












More to come in a few minutes. Please don't break up the picture stream with a post. :thumbup:

Huh.. what's that over there..



A Legend!










Oh yeah, almost forgot one.





As you can see, our tour guide was very generous and understanding

A bit more than 1k miles on this guy. Wish I could put a few more on.

Still a Honda fan. I so miss the 80's and 90's stuff that made me a Honda fan.

What an honor for you to be allowed to visit. for showing us the pics.

Amazing and pristine. I wonder if they are worried that their ITR will end up missing, like every other Teggy owner ( I was one)?

Love the racing stable and the Legend Coupe.
