Well, I went to the chrome shop and suprised they haven't done anything yet. I'm really hoping they'd finish it up soon. God, all my stuffs has been laying in dust. I guess the painter wasn't the only one being slow. LOL

I realised there's tons of old Honda motorcycles there and some old Honda Parts. Seems like the chrome guy must be a Honda motorcyle fan. He has the Honda 90 under restoration

I found a video of the S600 coupe acceleration and idling video by a Japanese user. He misspelled Coupe as Cupe, haha.

Honda CR-Z Ad Glimpses Soichiro’s Genius

YouTube- ã„ã„ãªCM　HONDA　CR-Z

The Honda CR-Z went on sale in Japan last week. It may not be the long-awaited reincarnation of the CR-X, but the accompanying commercial gives us glimpses of past greats like the Super Cub, T360, S600s both roadster and coupe, and Civic. There’s even a shot of the original bullet train, the 0 Series Shinkansen. The Impossible Dream it’s not, but the sequel is rarely as good as the original.
