It's not really the distance nor the the car that I'm worried about....It's if something WERE to go wrong with the car and having to explain to my wife abut classic cars while we sit on the side of the highway . It would just make more sense to me to trailer the car, and drive it around once I got there.
Every old car deserves a second chance!

What could possibly go wrong, it's a Honda! Carry spares and some tools and you're good. Or just get in the car and drive like me! Lol and I completely agree with Bill, I love driving my wagon so much I find that I don't get as tired compared to driving my CRX from Cali to BC.

Justin usually posts up a thread about Kelowna sometime around February/March.

It seems a really long time since I've posted updates of the progress. so here it is. The civic finally got a taste of the outdoors again today :D I'm still waiting to put the motor back in due to an issue of locating certain motor parts.

Two comments
both facetious [treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humour; flippant - moi?]
one , at a quick glance the driver's door looks dented [it's the wheelarch reflection :roll: ]
Two, it needs lowering a bit [I know , no engine :shock: ]
Seriously now
That is one heck of a paint job, and the slot rims complement the paint beautifully.
Nice one
Pete
