Thanks. No doubt we'll get a full test report from you when it arrives. Look forward to you kicking CTR butt and reading that report! Good luck mate, exciting time for you.

That is fantastic, you must be chuffed.

Why the hell won't Honda sell these in the UK?

Iain at Litchfields is well busy.. best bet is to call him..

He seems to be the main place for picking up DC5's to me... Well i would say that as he supplied mine too... both of them !!!!

I think the reason for Honda not bringing them over here are two fold, 1) probably have to tweak the engine for euro emissions and 2) it would cane the CTR into next week speed and dynamic wise, why **** in youre own pool?

EVO tested one in Japan and it was several secs quicker than the shopping trolley round Hondas own circuit.

Thanks for your comments.

Iain is a top chap folks, and after driving his demo car last June I knew if I was going to Import one, Iain would get my money.

He has sourced the perfect car for my needs, in fact we discussing this morning that the plastic covering was still on parts of the interior, looks a minter, Ian has helped 3 others that I know of, getting DC5's, 2 of which are going on the boat tomorrow

Now Ian about that discount

I know he imports anything pretty much, top job.
