A Honda in the Hills
 

We were able to leave our two year old daughter with my parents for the weekend so my wife and I took the opportunity to take my two-door Honda Civic Coupe away for an overnight stay at the Radisson Hotel at the Gold Coast. We cruised around Surfers Paradise, won a small fortune at Jupiters Casino, and took a drive up and thru Mount Tamborine.

It is not often I get to take my two-door Civic out like this these days coz we usually take the CR-V when we go out as a family, but since it was just my wife and I this weekend, we took the Civic for a romantic weekend getaway.

Didn't get too many worthy pics as it was raining on and off at the top of Mount Tamborine. As soon as we would stop to take photos, the rain would start again, forcing us to dash back to the car before we got soaked! In any case, the views at the top of the mountain were spectacular and the air so cool and crisp.

We had a great time to ourselves, but towards the end of the weekend we begun to miss our little girl so we went back to pick her up from her grandparents house. :)

nice man... good pics... musta been an awesome ride

nice ride, and it sounded like a nice weekend!

btw your avatar really fooled me, gearbox has the same one:D

Fooled me too, I would appreciate it if he did not use it. He can if he wants, it is just really misleading. I mean he is a new member and Gearbox is a priceless gem to the community.

:lol::lol::lol: that is great

Thats ****ing hot :tup:

Thanks, dude, yeah I'm quite fond of that picture myself. Not the best photographic quality however, but the angle of the car is just perfect. :D

sweet..RHD.. nice hills!

im a fan... :tup:

sweet pics man. what rims are those? i'm diggin em. what's the suspension setup? it's good to get away with the wiff every now and then. we've got a 20 month old girl. the boss and i need to take a weekend away here soon. we deserve it.

nice..

The rims are Osaka RS5 racing wheels. Very lightweight. :rockon:

looks like the a beautiful place and ur ride looks good

Sharp lookin ride. Like the pics of it in the scenery as well :tup:

I see free food in the 5th pic. :roflmao:

where can you get them? i just searched google a little and couldn't find any retailers in the states. didn't even find a home page for osaka racing.

damn, nice pics =) looks nice..the scenic view + car xP

i like =]

nice car, wish we had places like that around here.

Very nice pics, and nice ride too! I love how u posted romantic and civic together. Anyways, hot car, with your wife being in it all weekend I wouldnt be suprised if you added another member to the family in 9 months.

I got them from Bob Jane T-Mart, which is an Australian franchise. No idea where you could find them in the US but I have seen a picture of the same wheels on a black Civic Coupe from the US. I suspect they are called something different though, however they look identical.

I tried searcing on "osaka rs5" and that came up with some hits.
