Feature car - Nigels Civic Vti S
Pictures taken by: Steveo
One evening I got a phone call from Nigel telling me he had got yet ANOTHER new motor! I wasn't that excitied to be honest when he told me it was a Civic VTI S - he said "can I come up and show ya?" so of course being the nice guy I am I said "yeah sure!" I was expecting the motor to be nice but nothing special and when he pulled up I was pleasently suprised!
As all of Nigels cars there wasn't a speck of dirt to be found even under the gleaming bonnet was an even shinier engine bay showing off his sexy 1800 vtec engine. I had a good look over the car and my next words were...."when do you fancy a feature then!?"
After a few weeks we met up again, this time at Ballyholme and got the shoot done. The Civic was absoulutley gleaming and Nigel had won the show and shine contest at the Street Racer 100% Modified heats a few weeks back so his head was still up his own ass about that!
He opened the bonnet for a few snaps of the engine and the rocker cover hit me straight in the face, I think my exact words were "how fucking cool". So we turned the car into the sun light and got a few nice pictures of the sun light hittin the cover making it sparkle (thanks to the handy work of Mr. Wee Balls).
I got some really nice pictures lying down on the ground etc, if it wasnt for the bloody weather that night we could have had a few more pictures but the wind was so so strong! I mean Nigel had to hold the bonnet to make sure it didnt come off its support and smack me across the back of the head! (although I think he was contemplating letting it go)
Nigel has now had a threesome with my camera - his Corsa, Jordan Civic and now this, a gorgeous example of a VTI S. Lets hope he keeps this one for a while!
Just another small note to add, Nigel has now won 3 "show and shine" competitions at three of the biggest events this year with this motor, the Street Racer show, PCC show and Cruise Control 2006!
