Take a ride back in time in the epic 1970's Civic
The 1970's were a much simpler time. For all those children of the 60's & 70's there will be a lot of fond memories of time spent in Mum's, or a friend's mum's Honda civic. New Zealand embraced this revolutionary car in an age of oil crisis, enforced carless days and thoughts of fuel saving. Can you imagine a compulsory carless day happening today? At the time the 1st Generation Honda Civic was one of those pivotal motoring moments - a car that ran on the smell of an oily rag.
Local radio personality, More Fm DJ Blair Kiddy came along to Bowater Honda to check out our vintage 1970's 1st Generation Honda Civic we have in the showroom.
We thought he needed to take it for a test drive to really appreciate how the times and the technology have changed before letting him loose in the all new 9th generation 2012 Honda Civic.
The 9th Generation Honda Civic represents another leap forward for Honda with a car so popular with families the world over.

Amercia's Toughest Truck is the mighty Toyota Hilux
Top Gear USA has a go at the Toughest Truck in America Challenge.
Last year the Top Gear USA team ran their very own Toughest Truck Challenge on their show. Perhaps they were trying to emulate some of the great top Gear Challenges of old, like the North Pole Challenge, which features the mighty Toyota Hilux driven by Jeremy & James conquering a traditional dog sled team with Richard Hammond holding on for dear life, on a race to the North Pole. If you haven't seen this it is a must see.
Back to the actual story.... The Top Gear USA team are tasked by producers to buy an American truck with over 100,000 miles on the clock for around USD$3000 and they head up to Alaska to test who has chosen the toughest truck. The whole time they are threatened by the mighty Toyota Hilux which is the support vehicle..... Hit "continue reading" to watch the video and more.
