DOTS: Honda Legend KA7

No votes yet

A few months ago I already spotted a second generation Honda Legend with UK license plates parked somewhere in town. So I decided to go back a few days later, but completely forgot about it. Until I passed it again earlier this week and decided I had to go back:

Not that the second generation Legend is that special, and not because it is a four door (there is a 2 door coupe driving around in town!) and not because it is parked only 300 meters from the S14. No mainly because someone killed its rear window:

Hilarious: Honda vacuum cleaner

It doesn't happen very often that I post a picture in the Hilarious postings, but this week I'm on holiday and I don't have much time to do postings...

Anyway, found around the interwebs: the Honda vacuum cleaner:

I surely hope it is still an electric vacuum cleaner: four stroke vacuum cleaners leave some nasty carbon monoxide around when cleaning inside a non ventilated room... ;)


Commerical time: Honda See are EX

No votes yet

It is almost two weeks since I last posted a commercial, so how about these CR-X commercials? They surely are typical early 80s commercials with their music by Salon Music and their comic like photo animation!

The name CRX was even more cleverly chosen than the, already famous, SX designation. The song pronounces it clearly as See are EX. Now guess what you could get if you bought this car??

Another one:
Two more CRX and a CRZ commercial after the jump!


Random: Honda Think Simple campaign

Your rating: None Average: 5 (1 vote)

Earlier this week I saw a bunch of vintage Honda ads posted on EK Hatch's blog and one of them made me think:
Honda Think Simple campaign

Think simple! It sound incredible so simple, yet so right about the spirit of Honda.

At the same time I thought of the Apple Think Different campaign:

Apart from the fact that it uses the type face (clear sign of plagiarism by Apple!) it is also the direct opposite of the Honda spirit...

It almost smells like a parody made on Apple after they came up with the slogan, but I found the following pages to back up the Honda campaign:

DOTS: 1983 Honda Accord Mk 2

I saw this Accord mk2 parked behind a corner and immediately stopped and took a few snapshots:

The Honda Accord Mk2 appeared to be in a very good state! I could not see any rust on it. Probably it was a sleeper or a car owned by an old couple like my Carina used to be. According to the car registration website it was only sold to the current owner one month ago.

From the front this type of Accord looks a bit like the Nissan Gloria/Cedric 430. Of course that is no coincidence because both cars were produced around the same time: the 430 was produced till 1983 and the Accord started production in 1982.

Personally I don't like many Honda's, but seeing this car actually made me wanting to own one... Of course, if I can find one. ;)
