You don't have Honduhs? Nothing like a Civic plastered with "Type R"
stickers, 12" rims with 4" of positive offset, an illuminated 6" diameter
"fart cannon" exhaust outlet, numerous stick-on vents, more neon than a Las
Vegas whorehouse, and 4 subwoofers that are larger than the OEM wheels. Oh,
don't forget the roof wing for "downforce" - and spray paint the hood black
for that carbon fiber look.
And it still pulls a 20 in the quarter mile.

Hundahs are everywhere mate.
Never ever a real type R, normally 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6, some even have
genuine VTEC.
Most of the Civic, Accord and Integra Type R, and Prelude VTi/VTEC
drivers are much like the Saab tuning guy, very late twenties upwards,
to about retirement age. Pretty much like the Toyota Guys I hang with
ATM. Most of them are mid to late 30's and above.

There are a couple of the 'unusual' vehicles about (Civic, FTO, Alfas etc),
but as Graham rightly says, the irritating brats can't afford the insurance
(although they seem to be able to find the cash for graphics, window tints,
LEDs, ICE and an exhaust you could lose a small child in).
It's quite amusing to educate them as to what 185hp of 'grandad car' can do.
Perhaps it's 'cos I don't have stickers advertising '16v' and 'turbo'. I'd
still love to hear the whistly fake turbo though.

Don't forget the automatic transmission too, saw one of those today with a
big "Type R" badge on the back.

Oz, Suburu WRX and Hondas...The WRX is the most common, but it does actually
have the power to go with all the strap on crap.
My 9-5 still gives them a run for their money ;)
