THE HONDA CIVIC VTi

I know this entry is wayyy overdue... but i was just too busy loving my new baby *grin* and working hard to support it.

Hence, explains the long absence in blogging.

Hey.. but anyway... here are loads and loads of pics of our new Honda Civic ...BRAND NEW!!!

I took the Monday off to pick up our new Honda, to fix new alloys, and get it tinted too.

So then we had to get up like real early in the morning to make it into the showroom at 9am...

The car was parked IN THE SHOWROOM... as was labelled "SOLD... Owner:Ms. Tan"
*grin grin*

We had to sign all these documents and FNALLY.... I had the honour of driving the car out of the doors of the showroom!!

Ahhh... the feel of a brand new car!!!!!!!!!

We then took the car straight to the tyre shop to get our new alloys fixed.

Managed to take a few shots of the Honda with it's original hub-cap before the tyre guy stripped it off.

Also managed to pose with it before the alloys were fixed... .despite me still quite blur from waking up early..

The exact alloy that was fixed...

This was just a sample in the showroom...

The tyre guy first took off all the tyres...

Removed the rims and hub-cap...

And fixed the alloys into the tyres...

He then mounted the tyre back onto the car....

And.....

Voila!!!

Spot the difference!!!!

The guy said it's gonna take approximately an hour or so to get it all fixed...

And i'm beginning to wonder... "What am i gonna do for the whole hour...just standing here watching him fix the alloys??"

And then... just as if God heard my grumble...

A truck loaded with tyres which was trying to take a turn into the tyre shop hit the fire hydrant on the footpath!!

Seconds later... there was a HUGE, MASSIVE fountain of water spraying out from the hole which the hydrant was before...

And...FREE CAR WASH for some....

The fire brigade rocked up in the next five minutes and cordoned off the hazard area.

The police people also pulled up not long after...

And then United Water came along....

But...

They were all standing around, doing nothing... and watching the fountain!!!!

What a beautiful sight at 10am on a sunny Monday morning!!

Well..the guy managed to fix all the alloys in less than an hour...

But the fountain on the footpath was still going...

So we had to wait till those silly people stop standing around and actually find a way to stop the water...

So much for water conservation rules in Adelaide!!

I was on the phone with mum... and she suggested we take the Honda for a car wash... or rather... "water blessing" as she said...
Ha ha... mum!! Very funny!

We loaded the old rims and hub-caps into the boot... which surprisingly fitted well!

And I made Jay pose with the rims in the boot looking like a tyre guy!! *laughs*

A week later...

We took the Honda for a drive down Brighton beach on a Sunday afternoon as we headed to Somerton for coffee.

We had the car tinted to the darkest legal (Midnight Express)

It did cost a bomb... but it was definitely WORTH IT!!

Me with my new baby!!!

How elegant and luxurious does this look!!! *grin*

Can't stop posing with the car... .!

A really nice view taken from inside the moving Honda as we head towards the beach...

The dashboard...

The engine...

A saluted farewell and tribute to my old Mitsubishi Lancer...

Bought with my Honourarium from the Overseas Students Association...

Which had served me thru my University days... and the beginning of my working life..

And finally... traded in to Nordic Honda Australia...
