Thank you Freddie, and thank you Waynne for your comments.
Gardens are cool. I like to chill out in mine with a nice hot coffee after a long day dealing with accident claims. Don't know much about plants though, but i do appreciate a nice garden.
As regards to whacking in a 1.8 type R engine, yeah i'd love to, but following my own accident a few years ago, and then buying a house, i've not had a car for three years, and what little no claims bonus i had is now but a distant memory. So i'm having to build my way back up, but i think the little Honda's a great place to start. When i've upgraded my NCB a few notches, i can start to think about

BIG POWER

then.
