So, this morning I was MSN'ning with my mom, and I had the shock of my life.

As you know, they moved to france.
My mom has a ratty old Fiat car, but is looking for something more...solid. Decent. Practical, yet sporty.
So she had been looking on the internet for a car.

So, she asked me to drive out, and have a look at "a car".

Here are a couple of pictures from the advert. Are you sitting down?

My mom is well into her fifties. I am so proud.
Ofcourse nothing is certain until I drive it away. But the thought is encouraging.

It's one of 47 Dutch Honda Civic VT's. Only 20~something are left on the roads. It has power everything, and a 150Hp B16A1.
On the pictures it looks really really clean. Interior is fresh too.
I can't wait to take a look at it this week,

Seti,

It appears that your love of cars is a hereditary trait. Wait until your kids start driving.

Sweet looking car! The wheels are old-school, but that can be changed easily. I like it.

 

[SETI20]

Well, she _is_ in her fifties you know. My parents used to have a 1st gen civic waaaaay back. My dad crashed it in the Alps.

Turns out that a friend of mine used to own this car. It had a stock hood, and different wheels so I did not recognize it. Now I know wich car it is (I say again, only one of like 20 left!) I'm definately going to push her into buying it.

What a great inheritance that would be. Or am I too sinister now?

nice lookin car, not feelin the wheels or the exhaust but a nice find

 

[shadowcrx]

i am having mixed feelings about the molded eyelides, love that car tho

 

[jfrolang]

Man, that's hot. I have no complaints about it, I love the wheels, eyelids, I'd even put up with the exhaust. I think I would just tint it and call it done.

You have to get your mom to buy this, just make sure she understands how rare it is and takes care of it.

 

[CrxCarl]

Your mom is awesome!
Love that car. Is that a stock body kit. The molded driving lights up front and the molded reflectors in the back are nice touches.
Wheels could be better, but I think the exhaust looks pretty damn cool.
What does something like that cost in France?

 

[SETI20]

The lip kit is stock. Only thing modded is the hood, wheels exhaust and steering wheel. (exterior wise)

The rear fog lights are stock in europe. They used to be mandatory. I'd like to see them shaved, but I doubt mom really cares.

They're asking 3500 euro's. Aprox 4,5 grand in dollars.
The car is in Holland. But it would move to france if she were to get it. France is really chovinist when it comes to cars. Well over 90% of cars on the roads are french. Honda's in general are rare. I've seen 1 crx while driving up and down a couple of times. Just a single one. A bone stock red VT.

That is so fantastic! There is no way my mom would trade her Lincoln for that. Of course she is 65. :lol:

And if I was driving it around France, not Pitsburgh, I wouldn't mind ANY of the mods!

Nice interior!

 

[Flamegurl]

oh dear.....

anything better than that fiat! (and yes I DO know when you made me drive when we had to use the fiat. No blame on you when it would finally die)

nice civic for sure Bas

 

[SETI20]

Yes it is nice. I'm actually a little envious.
I would drive that myself without any hesitation, if I could afford it.

Change the wheels, lower it a little bit. And leave it alone.

 

[ollie]

Dannng Bas...I like your mom's style in civics sir. :wink:

 

[Krix]

my mom drives a 96 ford taurus wagon :lol: You must have a pretty cool mom to want to drive a car like that. Thank god I didnt get my moms vehicle tastes :lol:

 

[Penz]

Nice car man!

 

[Ragnaarok]

damn fine car there.

 

[Savage]
