Despite some serious rust, a devious assassination attempt by my ex-girlfriend and even being sent to a breakers yard without my permission, she was saved from the clutches of doom at the last moment and put back on the road, enjoying another 7 years and over 60,000 miles of glory. But today it was finally time to say goodbye - the exhaust was blowing, the suspension tired, brakes binding slightly, yet started first time and the engine sounded as awesome as ever. 152,000 miles on the clock, so I reached the golden 150,000 (I didn't think I would!).Goodbye Mk3 CRX, you were a loyal and trusty car. Except when you broke down, obviously.
The parts will be going into a cherished 1.5 Honda Civic, so at least some of the car will live on and help another Honda stay on the road. I did try to sell it as a car to keep going, but despite over 700 views on Auto Trader, it seems people were put off by the Cat C label (which is a shame, although I suppose I can understand that). In truth it would've cost quite a bit of money to keep on the road for any real length of time. But it was dry as a bone inside, so much so that I kept all the paperwork in the boot for the final months, so it was very unusual in that respect.
I wasn't on here all that much lately anyway, especially since the car was SORN, but thanks for all the help and advice given to me, I truly appreciate it; may your cars live long and fruitful lives! Meanwhile, I still have a Mk2 CRX, which is undoubtedly the best car I've ever driven and I hope to keep it on the road for as many years as I possibly can. I may pop on here from time-to-time to share what little wisdom I have and help you keep your cars dry (as that's about the only thing I was good at when it came to the CRX!), but if not then I wish you all the best of luck.

And finally, taken two months ago... she cleaned up pretty well!
