Greetings from a hot and sandy Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. 
Well, not an Accord owner yet, but have put a deposit down for the new 2007 3.0l V6 Accord. Delivery should be in about a months time.  If you think that is bad, the wait for a Civic is 3 months.
Not new to Honda as I previously owned this: Its a Civic Type R, 2.0l, 200bhp. Great, great car, but sadly it was just not cutting it as my daily drive, which is circa a 260km round trip, most of which is highway! She was sold last moth.

I also currently have this sitting in the garage as well, but she too is soon to be sold. Awesome car, but again, not good for daily drive and not fair to be putting that kinda mileage on her daily. So, as I said, she is being sold as well.
This is my pride and joy (no offence to the Honda, but I have owned this from new and spent approx US$10K on mods):

Sorry for the long post, but I am looking forward to getting the Accord. I think it will suit what I am looking for. Test drive was last night and i really enjoyed it. Our model has 275bhp, but sadly, it is not the Coupe (we don't get them here) and yes, Auto! hahahahahaha
First thing I will be doing is changing the ICE in the car. Already got components and a sub lined up. Amps are sitting in the flat awaiting a car to install them in. So I will be checking out what people have done.
Also, lined up will be some 17" rims. Those may be slightly later.
Hope my welcome and stay is a happy one on these boards.
I may ask a lot of questions, I hope I get some usefull help and answers.
Cheers peeps.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, how do I get pics to post up, have I missed something? 
Actually the better way to attach them to the board, as opposed to the uploading them, which I find annoying to click through.. Just click the "image" button that's between the list and code buttons above where you enter text, then put the link for your pictures between the Image tags that it places in your post.
Btw, I LOVE your Z man. Good luck with the accord purchase! I think you guys get better options on the Hondas then we do here. I want a Pajero Soooooo bad..

Or just simply a Late 90s 2 Door Pajero With a 2.8l Turbo Diesel in it. Great trucks that not too many in the states know about. For now I'll rock out the 'Montero' which is an awesome ride. Hell, I don't know of many jeeps that came in 1994 with rear air lockers as an option from the factory. Even my '89 has front and rear LSD
