The first memory of a car other than my dads brown 280E Mercedes Benz (which he claimed was the fastest of the village 
...) was a black Honda CRX ED9 I saw around the late 80s on a supermarket car park.
I honestly remember how I said to myself that I will own one of these super cool looking cars one day.
My first CRX was actually my second car ever, an amazingly original red 1984 AF (the first series) I bought from the first owners for 700 Deutschmark.
(Not my actual car, random pic from internet)
Sold this to a guy from Denmark (via old Honda forums) who bought it because this model was his first new car ever.
Bought finally a black ED9 afterwards which I lowered, put bigger wheels on it and added the obvious boy racer JDM exhaust plus a small 30cm Momo steering and a Sony Minidisc radio!
(My actual car - see the No Fear sticker
)
Had to sell this one because I needed the money at the time, I later heard that the engine had a fatal issue a few months later.
And now I finally found my old dream car again - a VTEC CRX from 1991 (EE8) in original condition with only 70000 km on it. Freshly repainted in original colour, new suspension and in excellent condition with full service history.
The car only had two owners and is fully stock! Cannot wait to give it a nice maintenance and refresh so I can spin the engine as it was meant to be - up to 8250rpm!
In my opinion the CRX is one of the finest hot hatch cars ever. Pure driving excitement in true Lotus spirit. Lightweight, excellent suspension and focussed. Will never sell it again!
