It Was The Honda Prelude That Did It For Me Though

I was in Fukuoka City today to experience a truly incredible collection of old-school JDM classics. An early Toyota 2000GT, an incredible Tommy Kaira ZZ, Toyota S800s, early Toyota Celicas, etc, but my favourite might have to be the first generation Honda Prelude that was looking like a 'barn find' out the back of the yard.

Thanks for another video, mate! Always nice to see. The only thing... I can keep cleaning my keyboard over and over again, for I keep drewling all over it! 😍 Honda City Cabriolet !!! LOVE those things !! They're a blast! Only if it wasn't that expensive to get one shipped here to The Netherlands ... Honda S800 - wow ... Needs a lot of work, but could be turned into a real GEM ! The Honda Today is like a little brother to the Honda Logo, isn't it? The Prelude ... I only like the 3rd gen (especially the facelift). Thanks for showing us these cool cars. Can't get enough of 'em!

I still see those early 80s Corollas around in the small Finnish city I live in, there are many other 80s-90s Toyotas still being driven daily, some rare Mitsubishis like a Diamante, or I think it´s called Magna in Australia, I´ve seen an early Integra Type-R, a 4th gen Prelude and also my CRX will be driving around the town once I get it back from body shop, getting rust repairs and fresh paint wooo :> I think it´s the one of two in northern Finland x3

@wasabicars Ай бұрын

Nice. Yeah, the Diamante is a cool car. Have seen some big sedans about, but even a Diamonte wagon, which Mitsubishi imported in Japan in small numbers. All the best with your CR-X. Finland needs to see it back on the roads! :)

Oh my goodness that pouch on the steering wheel reminds me of a bumper car hahahaha!!! Loving that prelude!!! They're not mega rare around here but very unusual in that condition. Fun fact, i always loved the fact that jdm versions have those gutters below the headlights while american models don't, i think it looks so sick!!
