Some parking spot. #hondaelement

I’m preparing to sell my #HondaElement (don’t really use it, don’t like cars, glad I don’t need it) which involves disassembling the #DIY micro camper build-out in the back and the solar panel roof-rack on top.

End of an era, a little sad, as it was one of my most successful projects.

But the good news: I now have a decent stock of 8020 aluminum profile and a ton of associated hardware for a bunch of other projects, and it’s the correct gauge for my #BikesAtWork trailer.

Big upgrade today to the #hondaelement - it now has a hard-shell roof tent and a big freestanding awning. Just need some camping weather

Ticked off some car jobs today - new bug/stone deflector fitted, new rain shields on the front windows, and a new trim piece around the gear stick which I managed to find someone selling in Japan. Yes the car also desperately needs a wash, maybe I'll do that tomorrow. #hondaelement

Fitted a roof tray to the car ready for loading it up and going on summer trips. There just about enough room for an awning to go on there next to it so that’ll be up next. #hondaelement #honda #JDM #エレメント

First solo drive and first time driving my new car done. A very tense trip to Big Tesco no less. This car is large, it’s going to take some getting used to, but today was a good milestone and I didn’t hit anyone or anything so that’s going down as a win. #HondaElement

Every once in a while, I'll spot one of these silver #HondaElement SC’s. They always somehow look brand new, to the point I was wondering if there was some factory in Mexico that was still cranking them out or something.
