I wish mine was that clean! That's a nice HRV you have there, welcome to the forum :)

[Napoline]

Hehe, in summer I wash him every week.

In the winter, almost every day :p Except when i'm not home in the evening.

Yesterday, I gave him a wash 2 times (because it was raining and very filthy on the street) And i had to do some travelling, and I hate it when there is filth on my car. So, that's why I washed him so much ;-) I'm not sick or something :p I just love him :p

[PatrickDorrian]

I'm a handwash in the summer and an occasional jetwash in the winter sort of bloke .... mine gets polished about 12 times over the summer so that i can neglect it until the following year ;)

It's worked so far, under all the filth and dirt there lies pristine paintwork - shame i can't say the same about the owner :d

[Napoline]

lol :p

I do always a handwash with polish product in it. I only do a chassiswash after the winter :-)

But i do alot of kilometers in one day. And when the weather is filthy i can't leave my car under the dirt (and with dirt, IT IS dirt then :p maybe i'll take pic when he is dirty :p ) To show that i'm not overreacting, hehe ;-)

When i get home, i'll put some more pics of the car

Welkom op dit forum Napoline,
ik denk dat je dit wel kunt lezen als je uit België komt.
Tenzij je uit het franstalige gebied komt.
Mooie HR-V. 8) :D

[skyout]

I also want to change some things to my HR-V. Like blending my windows, new wheels... I want to hear some tips of you guys!

Welcome to HondaSUV.com.

You've got a great looking V there. For some good ideas check out the HR-V articles/HR-V Car of the Month.

Thx, ik kan het idd lezen. :-) Hopelijk kunnen we ideeën uitwisselen :lol:


@skyout: ok thx, i'll check that out!

[mrphoo]

Ik zin nit uit Belgie of Nederland, mar ik ken dit ook lezen. Vraag: is wat ik hier schrijf Vlaams of Nederlands? 8)

[goraiko]

:?:

:?
Welcome any way matey. Clean car and in the right colour too. :wink:

[Napoline]

Dat is gebrekkig Nederlands :lol:

@ goraiko: thx and i didn't know u liked that colour :p:p :wink: (i already saw the pictures of ur car, it's almost the same as mine 8) )

[goraiko]

Except I think mine is probably a lot dirrrrtier. :lol:

[Napoline]

Haha, mine too sometimes. I also go to the fields and do a race on it ;-) But then washing time after it 8)

I promised to take pic when it is dirty :p (and i will)


ps: FYI, i think i'm almost the only girl here, right?

[goraiko]

Probably. I'm guessing you shouldn't have said that as I think this thread may sudenly get very popular.


Jaws theme

[Napoline]

lol, but i am used to that. I studied Informatics at a boy school and I have a clan (game clan) :D

Should i post picture of me? :p hehe

But maybe i'm too young for some of you :p

ok, ok, this is offtopic. This is about my car ;-) And if you noticed I call my car a HIM :D Very beautifull boy :P

[etc]

ok this thread will surely get even more... dirty :lol:

welcome Napoline! its always good to see new faces here :)

ps
if you have a drivers licence you cant be too young for no man :wink: :lol:

[Napoline]

hmm, i started very early. When i was 17. I have always been a car freak :D

And this car is 5 years old, so, how old am I now :P ;-)

[goraiko]

Ah but is this your first car?

[PatrickDorrian]

It's important to remember that hattus is older than all of us ;)

[mrtn]

A GRRRRL!! yeah!

we also have Vanesa from OZ.

this is getting interesting here 8)

[PatrickDorrian]

So that's one .... who's the other, or am i missing something ;)

[goraiko]

:roll: @ Patrick

Vanessa and Napoline.

[goraiko]

I think I just took the bait there didn't I?


Damn! Damn!

[PatrickDorrian]

This time Andy, i was actually being genuine ... hadn't worked out that Napoline was a lady ( well female ... hehehe) 8) - time will tell ;)

I should have guessed as *line is usually only at the end of a female name - having a blonde day today it seems!

[goraiko]

ps: FYI, i think i'm almost the only girl here, right?

You mean this didn't give it away either Pat.

[PatrickDorrian]

That'd be the post i missed then Andy ;) Told you .... blonde day today :p

[PatrickDorrian]

lol :p

I do always a handwash with polish product in it. I only do a chassiswash after the winter :-)

But i do alot of kilometers in one day. And when the weather is filthy i can't leave my car under the dirt (and with dirt, IT IS dirt then :p maybe i'll take pic when he is dirty :p ) To show that i'm not overreacting, hehe ;-)

When i get home, i'll put some more pics of the car

Well it seems i need a good old slap around the head, i didn't realise you were female - good job i've had my polite head on =8*)

I'm afraid my car is no cleaner than Andys at the moment, i do about 400 miles each weekend up and down the motorway here and the car suffers. I have some special kanuba wax that I apply with a polishing wheel that contains a mild cutting agent as well, takes "bloom" off the paint and leaves a nice hardshell finish behind.

After a long drive in the summer, you can just gently brush all the flies off it :)

[goraiko]

Pat I think you drive as meny miles as me in a week. :shock:

Well I suppose we have to keep gordon brown happy with all the petrol tax we pay. :lol:

I don't know about the cleanliness of yours Pat but I heard a rumout the other day that I had a silver car and not a grey black one.



I quickly corrected the fool when I showed them my car. I can safely say that I can only see through the wiper sweeps on the front and the back windows of the V. I only cleaned it last weekend. :cry:

[PatrickDorrian]

I bought mine in september 2003 with 22,000 miles on the clock, i've just turned 70,000 miles now. Apart from a few small stone marks, it's in bloody good nick :)

Not bad at all for 20,000 miles a year, and it's all HARD driving too :)

[goraiko]

I got mine about 2 months ago with about 57000 on the clock, it's now got 61000. :shock:

[PatrickDorrian]

But isn't it a scream to drive ;) I have barely noticed the miles going on mine, i don't really begrudge it the fuel economy either - the grin factor for so little horsepower is amazing - and as for handling, i still laugh when i drive it like a large gokart.

And this is why i don't want to sell it really, even for a skylard .... and i bet the fuel economy is about the same too.

I love my honda :)

[goraiko]

I know what you mean. Even with stupid off road tyres it's still damn good fun to drive. Infact the only cars which I think I've enjoyed more are the mx5, ginetta (when it worked), and the crx. Or maybe me old landrover when it was being used off-road.

Pat IMHO the only sky lard worth getting if you don't get a gtr (horrendous running costs), is the gt turbo. It's got enough power to cope with the weight of the thing. But then you're not going to get much more than 20 mpg or maybe 25 if you're going really steady. But where's the fun in that?

[PatrickDorrian]

I can see the logic ... i know i'd have more fun with a 2.5 turbo ... but i do like the hrv too. I might just get the rings done and drive it a bit longer, got some more soundproofing to do next year and wouldn't mind changing the wheels for a 17" to get the price of tyres down a bit.

Ultimately, it's going to be a Tdi engine at some point .... just not sure what make or model of car i'll have it in. Have you seen that new vauxhall offroader yet?

[Napoline]

pssst guys :p


My answer:

For me, it's my first official car. But i drive others too ;-) I have the car of my parents (first a Volvo, and now HOnda Civic). The car of my grandmother i drive (Volkswagon Golf) And then some cars at my work. Ford, citroen....

So i know that my car is the best car I ever drove!!

[PatrickDorrian]

For what the HRV is ... it's great fun anywhere you drive it :) I have only one wish and that is for a 6th gear, i find the engine a little noisy at motorway speeds, would be nice if it was doing 3000rpm at 80mph not 4000rpm.

Other than that ... i still love it!

[goraiko]

Yeah I know what you mean.

[Napoline]

yes, that's true. Have that problem too. But it's a dream to drive and park it and to turn around :D

[PatrickDorrian]

That's the biggest problem the HRV has given me, what to buy next ....

[Team GOOOSH]

[Napoline]

Little update:

I got myself blue lights. First i bought the wrong one, but they are in my car too right now. But here it comes:

The blue light.
ps: the salesman said the me, those are blue leds. And I answered, well duh, ofcourse. I think he thouhgt that i bought the wrong ones because i'm a girl.

H1 lights I bought too, but are not in car yet. The saler promised me by heart that they fit into a HR-V without special tuning euhum, we will see :P

[PatrickDorrian]

Much nicer :)

[Team GOOOSH]

Blue lights inside the car??????Do you happen to have puncture marks on your arms? :shock:

[mrtn]

? ? ?

[Team GOOOSH]

Come on guys.....dont you know what blue lights and puncture marks mean? ............Surely Patrick would know :lol:

[mrtn]

yes we do

[Team GOOOSH]

So is Napoline trying to break a habbit?

[hattus]

Point of issue........I may be perseved as a freak...but at least i'm not GINGER :lol: :wink:

Anyway back on topic....hi Napoline very nice 'V' and the best colour too! are you planning anymore mods?

[PatrickDorrian]

I drove one for the first time back in about 1991, it was a G reg 1.6 basic model - complete and utter hoot in the damp and one of the nicest cars i've ever driven, the handling is sooo neutral but you can really get things playfully out of shape and it doesn't bite you back

[goraiko]

:?: Isn't that in the wrong thread.

[PatrickDorrian]

I wondered where it had gone, i was sure i posted it too! Fecking hell - my first senior moment !!!

[goraiko]

First? :lol:

[PatrickDorrian]

of many ;)

[Napoline]

he is with his thoughts with me ;-) I forgive him :P

[goraiko]

I think you're right, he was drawn here on a subconsious level.

At least my v looks different to yours now. :P

[PatrickDorrian]

Oi i resemble that remark!

[goraiko]

:D

[Napoline]

Another update:

I have blue lights in it now. But it's not real Xenon, so it has just a blue shine in the dark, it's not blue blue. :D

I went today to the shop (for the lights) and that mechanic told me it were H4 lights. I said: NO NO NO. He probably thought, another stupid girl :P
But at the end he had to say that I was right, HAHA :D

This afternoon i changed the 501 lights myself in the front.

[PatrickDorrian]

You figured out how to get things out without applying BFI? ;-)

[Napoline]

Well, i started with brutal force. I almost unplugged everything :P But then u told me I had to turn the lights, and that went much better :D

[PatrickDorrian]

Almost like they came out as intended ;) If you'd forced them out it might have cost you a new headlight lol ... they're about 100 pounds each hehe - money better spent on H.I.D kits - if they're legal in Belgium?

[Napoline]

Everything is legal if I do it :P (not :P)

[PatrickDorrian]

Everything???? You should be a little more specific incase i take you literally ;)

[Napoline]

Well, i'm the law itself (just joking :P)

U do need to read the small words Patrick (i'll spank u for that :P )

[PatrickDorrian]

I see your spank and raise you two frags :p

I wrote the small print, i see it took you in and confused you and now you're mine :p

Muahahahahaha!

[Napoline]

BOOO :P

[PatrickDorrian]

Booo ... is that like Betty Boo? I know you like the picture i have of her ;)

[mrtn]
