    Honda's birthday present to itself is now ten years old. To mark this event Honda has released a batch of 100 specials editions in the UK. We took the opportunity to say goodbye.

    Sad. It is a great sports car. Of course, it's going the way of the
    Prelude, which I dearly loved.

    Yeah. I loved my CRX. Which they killed off for the "in search of a
    market" dull slow.

    The S2000 was an excellent concept that is still great. But they
    really haven't improved it over the years. For instance, it could
    have benefited greatly with a sequential transmission years ago. And
    Honda had what was probably the second best transmission in F1, but
    did they move it over to the S2000? Don't answer.

    The NSX was a neat concept half-done.

    Looking back to the 60s when I was a good deal younger, I owned over time
    several British sports cars -- TR4, MGB, 64 XKE and a Sunbeam Tiger. I even
    had the opportunity to drive a few nostalgia machines back then -- a 1955
    XK120 for example; it handled like a truck as compared with an XKE. A
    couple Corvettes were later and they were all hanger queens and a testament
    to GMs poor quality control and lousy customer service. The Tiger was the
    best of the bunch with its Ford 260cu in V8 and 4 speed transmission. Mine
    had a few SHelby mods. I keep promising myself a S 2000. But, in my
    declining years I have come to appreciate very much my 06 I4 Accord coupe
    with the 5speed auto. The Accord is my first automatic BTW.
