At the Paris Motor Show with Honda

A little belatedly…

The Honda Team (Kev, Paulo, Chris, Alex) went off to Paris in October to see the official industry unveiling of the new Honda Jazz Hybrid – lots of great work coming in the new year for the launch of this.

It's got a lot of room inside. as you can see.

Paulo really enjoyed his conference call too. He could only hear one word in eight, and burnt his ear off on his mobile for three hours #trooper

A few of the WK Honda team (Chris, Paulo, Kev) went for the day to Silverstone to meet the 2010 Honda British Touring Car team. The point of the day was to get closer to what they do, meet the engineers and drivers and see how we can make best use of their brilliance (manufacturer champions 2010) in what we do.

We met everyone from the "boy who helps out at weekends" to the Technical Director of the team, and finally the two drivers with 25 podium finishes between them this season (Gordon & Matt). They started off by talking us through everything the do to a Honda Civic to turn it into a race car…

…and then we got dressed for some seriously scary/fast laps around the Silverstone track being driven by the two professionals (it was work, honest).

and Paulo is the only person in Britain who could dress for a visit to a garage wearing white shoes. Nice touch.
