Bit of a Sad Story

[Kend]

Hello There,

           I bought a Honda pre-runner to the Civic in 1985 as a run about. She didn't last long. Next was an Accord Aerodeck which was a USA import and was a cracker. She lasted for 4 yours and was part exchanged for a Camper Van. Then in 2008 I bought a CRV VTEC Sport. I had her converted to LPG and kept her until October 2021. The Air Con had ceased to function and the quote was £700 plus she needed a lot of work  (£1500) to get through the MOT so sadly she had to go. Now the sad bit, I have lung cancer and it is terminal and I was given 3 months to live in 2019 so I decided to give up driving. I hated it, I had to rely on my wife to go anywhere and with covid this was a real pain. When my CRV went i was sad and depressed so 7 weeks ago I decided to live again and I found and bought an HRV 2001 3 door 4WD VTEC that was just run in with 156000 miles to its credit. Cost me £650 and off I went to get this car up to scratch. First a full service, change all the fluids etc. 2 new tyres on the front and eveything to do with the anti roll bars changed. A full valet and headlights polished and given a ceramic coating. All this saw off £700.

           Now it smells nice and a parcel shelf has been found and I am beginning to think a few bits from the Jazz fit well. So hello again I am slowly getting the body tidied up and then it will be polished and this wonderful mini CRV rides again. Ken

Hi Ken.....welcome to the Club

Sorry to hear of your poor health.

As regards the HR-V, it is an often overlooked model in comparison to the CR-V which is what most people want.

Although it is still virtually the same car sharing a lot of the mechanical components.

Enjoy it and get some miles on it now it is sorted

Good to have you onboard!
