Re: [doc] Yet another car with interesting doors

["nick12dmc" <Tammyfew@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
   Can't say a thing against the Honda Beat, Test drove one for a 
friend of Tam's. I am 6ft1in tall and I fitted in it. Gearbox is 
really sweet. Like a little go cart. Goes like stink but likes
super unleaded as the japs don't have anything as naff as regular.
But on the plus side it only costs about £12 to fill it up.
Lisa says its very cheap to run. the only expensive bit is servicing
it at Honda and if you need bits from japan.
Regards
Nick H
