Roadkill video with an FB

A rare Japanese car episode from Roadkill. The FB is in sad shape, but it still runs pretty well.

i really enjoyed that, thats how we used to drive these cars, but don't because they are old and rare.

notice please that the car he found was pretty original, and he had no trouble at all...

I love that between the Honda and Mazda, it's the Honda that had two smoking engines! 100hp and chirping the tires in 2nd gear, what a machine.

Always enjoyed their videos, great to see them stepping out of their comfort zone and into some imports.

not sure what it was they were tring to set out to do. Optima "invited them" as sponsors of the show. $1500 limit later and optima says the honda cant run as it is not up to standards. No work done with the 7, at least they could have opened up the exhaust if it had not been done already. There are many parts of that show that got under my skin.
