Farewell TYP35S - Photoshoot

[05dc5S]

Well it was quite a sad day for me today.

I finally said goodbye to my car after literally driving her brand-spankingly new out of the Hornsby Honda's showroom floor 1,335 days ago.

It's been a long journey, with lots of time, money and care put towards it and in turn I was rewarded with 3 years and 8.5 months of pure driving pleasure.

The car also lead me to this forum (originally as a subsection of clubRSX), through which I have met many of you guys and made quite a few friends.

I must say I have been superbly impressed with the quality and the mechanical reliability of this Honda, and the size, shape and lines of the DC5S will be one of my favourites for a very long time.

I asked Phil to take one last photoshoot a couple of weekends ago to celebrate this "car chapter" of my life. It's been an awesome journey and I've had so much fun with it.

Big thanks to Phil for taking the time to do the shoot and edit the photos - you are a true master of car photography

Anyways, I'll stop the emo talk. Enjoy!
