Hi everyone

I wish I'd have known about these boards earlier.
We've had a 1991 HCW since 2003 as our only car. We carry a lot in it and on the roof, like our little truck.

We've given it a lot of love over the years. Now it's using a little too much oil for long road trips, but we still buzz around town with it. Looking forward to learning from you all

    Hey, I'm in Madison, too. I've probably honked and waved at you. There are a few of us in town. I always get excited when I see other wagons. Mine is the same color as yours, but no roof rack.

    Hi all, and Hi to eagle and eatbluefood,
    I'm back! Our 1991 wagon is still running! needs an alternator, I think. We just keep it plugged in on the trickle charger. So it's a 1991 plug-in Honda
    :encouragement:
    I might be looking for someone to adopt our old gal.

    Welcome back. I'm sure you can find a new home for her here, if that's what you want.

    thanks bam-bam. :-)
    Not sure that's what I want. Maybe it is. But perhaps mostly, I'd need some help to decide value. I have a list of all the love we've put into it. And also a list of all that needs doing.

    Done within the last 50K miles or so: new clutch, new radiator, new front springs, new ball joints, newly upholstered driver's seat.
    within the last 10K miles: 2 new tires, new battery

    Needs: alternator (probably), master cylinder (for now just a slight leak), rust repair, the other 2 tires, keep an eye on the head gasket
    consumes more oil than it should at highway speeds (so we just drive it in town),

    A/C doesn't work (never did since we've owned it). Universal, drive shaft removed.

    Well, sadly, I think we've decided to find a new home for the old gal. I started a new thread, but is there an easy way to move these photos over to the new thread? I refer back to this thread...
  • WHAT?! I'm orignally from Madison, WI. It's a shame I never got to meet up and see this beaut. If I was still around I'd def buy it

    Thanks, ShuttleAstronaut! She's a bit rustier now, but still a trooper. These are her most flattering pix. I've been emailing current photos to a couple of guys who are really interested. We bought her in 2003 from our mechanic/friend who was super-into these for a while. He may have had half a dozen of them at one time! This is one of the ones he drove personally. (When did you leave Madison? You might even know him- had a repair shop on Regent St. that's now moving after many years.)

    She's been our friend and our workhorse at the same time. And so much fun to drive. We'll miss that.
