Goddamn foreigners...

Hello Beyond

i've just moved to Calgary from the mystical land of Castles and Gingers, Bonnie Scotland (Scaahtland i believe you guys say) where the guys wear skirts and eat sheep intestines for dinner

I'll apologize in advance for the amount of questions i'm likely to ask (although i will search first) as the car scene over here is totally new to me....not quite as simple as the UK, but definitely a better choice of automobiles!

Was a Honda nut back home, owned a couple of highly modded Civics and Accords....but Currently searching Autotrader and Kijiji for my first car and really not sure what to get!

So, let the n00b flaming begin

ahhh, an old favourite from the UK Civic forums!

i've always been an OEM+ sort of guy

[dirtsniffer]

what are you considering for your car? kijiji is probably the best best over here.

and i may know of a slick 2009 335d for sale....

my last accord:

2.2 Type-R (H22A7) 212bhp




My Civic Type-R (K20A2, Jackson Supercharger + more) 300bhp





My Civic Coupe EJ6 (H22 Conversion)



also owned a JDM Gt-4 celica, JDM MX-5 and some crap BMW 3-series's, but none were very interesting

i'm thinking something like a 1st Gen CR-V or similar, just something reliable as i'm just finding my feet here, so a sensible daily car with a bit of room would suit me fine until such times as i'm more settled!

i'd love a 335d, but it might be a bit out of my price range at this moment!

Haha, prepare to be infuriated by people on highways and pedestrians. Driving in Scotland (or anywhere in the UK) is a dream compared to Canada.
