Uhlobo lwase-Japan, eminyakeni yamuva, lenze okuncane kukho konke ukucisha ilangabi le-Civic Type R yenganekwane. Izindaba ezimbi ukuthi baphumelele kancane… futhi mhlawumbe kuzoba kubi kakhulu.
Ukucabanga ngomklamo wezizukulwane ezimbili zokugcina ze-Honda Civic kungase kucasule abanye abalandeli abashiseka kakhulu bemodeli yaseJapane. Futhi uma abalandeli bakwaHonda kuze kube manje sebeluthethelele uhlobo oluthile losizi olubadalele, ukubekezela kungase kuphele ngokwethulwa kwesizukulwane esisha sohlobo R.
Ingabe uhlezi? Hhayi-ke, bambelela esihlalweni. Ngokusho kwamahemuhemu azungezayo, ukwakheka okungavunyelwene bekunganele, i-Civic Type R entsha ngeke ibe nomoya womoya. Yebo, khohlwa ngenjini eshisekela ama-revs, eyenza noma yimuphi umuntu ofayo aphume embhedeni phakathi nobusuku aye egaraji ukuze avuse imoto, agijime kabili noma kathathu ukuya kulayini obomvu bese yebo, ubuthongo buphumule. futhi kwagcwaliseka.
Lokhu yikho okwenza iCivic Type R yaba ngumshini wamaphupho eyake yaba ngawo. Leyo njini egcwele "izifiso" zama-revs aphezulu, ubulula bezingxenye kanye nokukhanya kwayo yonke isethi. Manje akusenjalo… kubavikeli be-fundamentalist abaningi bomqondo wangempela, inguqulo eyeka ukusebenza ibukeka njengekhathalogi yobuze. I-toaster eyodwa kuphela engekho ohlwini lwezinketho, futhi noma kunjalo, hlola ikhathalogi yezinketho…
Ingabe ngibukeka ngicasukile? Ngakho yingoba nginjalo. Asikhulumi nganoma iyiphi imodeli, sikhuluma ngemodeli eyagcina ibambe iqhaza elikhulu embusweni wentando yabantu ubumnandi bokushayela. Iya ebhange eliseningizimu futhi uqinisekise, izimoto ezithembekile nezilula eziye zaba yinjabulo ye-petizada eqala ngemisebenzi ye-track-days.
Ngeshwa yifa elibuzwayo. Mayelana nezinguqulo ezijwayelekile ze-Civic, angiphawuli. Ngaphandle komklamo, ohlale u-subjective, yikho konke ongakulindela ku-Honda: ukwethembeka, ikhwalithi nokuphepha. Kodwa mayelana nenguqulo yohlobo R… kuhle ukuthi nginephutha nokuthi Uhlobo R olulandelayo lungaphezu kwalokho, umshini! Ngithemba kanjalo.
