My FRV story - part 1
Day One
We have bought
this Family, some say Flexible Recreation - Vehicle or Honda Edix how they called in Japan, in spring 2017 imported from beautiful country of Italy, with about 150K Km on the clock.
To purchase this 2 liters petrol Honda FR-V, shipped, taxed, MOT-ed, insured and put on the road in Slovakia costed that time circa 6000€. Thanks to the 10 years of Italian childhood it came without a single spot of rust.
The first year it was - well a car. Than I had an animal-accedent and wrote-off my 2009 Mondeo 2.2 tdci thus the Honda become our daily, workhorse and shortly a family friend. We soon discovered that this is almost an ideal shifter for us - either for the shortest trips to the local shops, across the Austrian Alps down to the Slovenian sea side or to the Scotland. It also doesn't complain about our camping, gardening and building activities. The good old geisha starts on her first /almost/ crank in -20 or +40C, needs 1 Km to warm up, never moans, still looking sexi /at least from some angles/, quite unseen and damn practical, combining the little Jazz's city advantages with the CR-V's comfort, room, performance and mainly with one of the best engines Honda ever packed under the hood.
Dead bicycles, 250 lit. aquarium, Mondeo left overs were kicked out and we accommodate her in the garage, to prolong her rust-free life...
