Hi All,

If I can summarized, if there is such thing as a Jazz/Fit town, my hometown will be it! I see GD3s and GE8s every 5 secs. I see Yellow, Metallic Pink and Salted Egg Metallic Green on the road everyday. The base GE8s comes with stock aluminum wheels. Stock GE body kit is butt ugly. USDM Body kit (with standard fog lamps) is the best by far. They always have Honda Jazz One Make race at every Touring Car venue here. The last touring car race was won by a GE8 clad in PETRONAS (Malaysia *not Indonesian* Petroleum company) paint scheme. Any other 5 door compact not made by HOnda are in this order: Toyota Yaris, Daihatsu Sirion, Hyundai Atos, Kia Picanto, Chery QQ, Hyundai Accent, Chevy Aveo and Chevy Spark

Speaking of Clones, I just saw Chery Tiggo (China's blattant copy of Toyota RAV4) on the road the other day. If it wasn't for the Cherry logo, I would've thought that was RAV4.

My good friend is a local Honda Factory Racing driver and he had been dying to get me on the track...but I have no car.

My parents has an 04 GD3 VTEC and it made missed my GE8 . Leg space was too narrow for me and NO TORQUE!I can't wait to buy another GE8 but I guess I have to wait now that it's so hard to find a decent job here.

I'll post pics when I remember seeing multiple GD3s and GE8s at the same time on the road.

PEACE!!

Here is my picture with the driver and the crew. The driver, Alvin Bahar, 2nd generation race car driver whose father's family have known our family for more than 20 years (my dad used to be a race car/go-kart driver himself when he was young). He was my racing driver program mentor back in the day. He is the guy with the red Honda cap:
