Thanks for the kind words.
To answer some of the questions:
>Don't worry, it's not my daily driver.
>I'm not a FWD traitor I've still got my S2000
>I've had big horsepower EVOs and STIs and they didn't really float my boat--I'm a Honda fanboy
>The bumpers, brake cooling ducts, airbox, seats and rear spoiler are dry carbon. Suprsingly, the hood is a very lightweight alloy rather than being CF for some unknown reason.
>It's one of 300 made and the only one in the EU--likely to remain that way with the current exchange rate and the difficulty of registering the car for road use in the UK.

Looks like a very expensive Civic.
What I found by googling:
The Honda Civic Mugen RR which is based on the JDM Civic Type R in Japan has a limited production of 300 units. On September 14th at 9am in Japan, the car went on sale. 10 minutes later 300 reservations had been received, which meant the limited edition car was sold out.
You can assume that over 300 reservations were accepted just in case any of the first 300 buyers decide to back out. But it is for certain that all 300 versions of the car are now sold out before the car is actually delivered to customers this coming January.
The car sold for 4,777,500 yen or ($38,750).
I see you're in England.. for what you paid for that I'd be rocking one of these.
