Bowled Over

'Tis was an interesting day today. Worked the weekend so will have tuesday and wednesday off this week. As usual, thanks to years of conditioning in that country which prides itself on having the World's Greatest Sale, I went shopping.

However the wind was not really co-operating, another *rolls eyes* cold front is coming in for the next few days. But the wind was rather something. I was walking around in the outdoors, I could feel the winds trying to bowl me over and I'm a heavy guy.

But the Piece De Resistance of my buys today is this:

That shiny Key Fob is from Simple American (now you know where that has ended up, always wanted a Lone Star, thank you!) but the other black bit is mine. I'm now the proud owner of a 1989 Honda Civic 2Dr Coupe. She ain't much to look at, but is mechanically sound, (think Millenium Falcon, going to be working on the Warp Drive), comfy (the seats and heater work, important!) she will require a lot of TLC from Moi. I'm already falling in love. Thank god I'm mechanically inclined. But the best bit is, I can actually now go places regularly! No more wasting time waiting for buses.....Yaaayyyy.

Now I remember why I came here, I can't afford a car like this in Singapore!

Comments:
I want a ride! I want a ride! take me for a spin... pretty please?

*admires lone star keychain*
 
WTG on teh purchase!!! Dilithium Crystals all for Go!! Gimme more power, Scottie!!
 
Is this one of those Knight Rider look-alike car, ah? Congrats on getting a new wife!! *big grin*

I know what you mean about cars being beyond your reach in this part of the world. In UAE, cars are about 1/3 of the price here. Shiok-a-doo!!! Can get big, big SUVs for the fraction of the price here!!
 
"I can't afford a car like this in Singapore!"

totally agreed on this statement...any ownership in Singapore is un-afforable..
 
Hi, you now have 'wheels' huh. Bet you'll be souping it up when Spring thaw arrives. Polished ports, half race cams,lowered suspensions etc.
I notice you love bikes too. Young days had couple of Ducatis, then a Norton Twin and when in UK bought a Yamaha Twin...you should have seen me go flying when hit black ice patch! That was the end of my biking days, ha ha.
You know, here I love those Mustang Cobras or Shelby Cobras.
I have shot the breeze with my mechanic friend about maybe one day I get the 'old itch'...maybe install a brand new Cobra 450HP engine in my Lincoln Town car I now driving and add to my twin pipes Borla mufflers. Love those Nascar burbling V8 sounds then respray a sexy red or 'apple Candy red'....
then frighten the heck out of everyone at traffic lights when leave a 25 feet trail of tire marks and sounds like Apollo 12 lifting off, ha ha.
Oh well, just my old age fantasy.
Hey, I like your Texas Keychain. Seen one with, "Don't mess with Texas"! You have a nice day, UL.
 
May, *takes you for a ride, grin*

L B, *working on warp drive*

Leonard, even a low cost car like this is un affordable over there
