The Civic is still sidelined...

For a couple of reasons, the Civic is still not back on the road. One of the parts I ordered a while ago only arrived yesterday, so we could not re-install the engine in the car. I delivered the part to Pat yesterday, but he is in a very busy period and I wonder when he'll even have time to work on the car... soon, I hope.

I feel I'm missing out on the track season, but there I can't complain about how summer is going in general: we are still spending a lot of time in Deschaillons and time together as a family. There are also many cool cars to spot on the road, and it seems recently that the boys are more interested in car spotting than they had been in the past, which is fun for me. 

Something missing here
Is it weird that I find the modded Civic sedan more exciting?
I test-fitted my old wheels on the Civic yesterday. They clear the brakes, but the tires stick out about 10 mm.
I love Rotiform wheels!
Cool 80's 911 with a race seat for the driver
The design of the latest Aston Martin Vantage has grown on me
Small is good

The Lexus coupe is really good-looking

The perfectly sized 964
I've seen a few of these Giulia Quadrifoglio's lately... are they liquidating them?
The worst Saab? Rare though...
Cool manual E34 5-series wagon
Still a great-looking car after 10 or so years

The oil pan Pat made takes into account the angle of the H-series when it's placed in a Civic
The boys loved this Challenger Hellcat
Cool wheel choice for this clean Corrado
Another new Vantage
Enexpected colour for this M3
Clean JDM MR2 at Canadian Tire
