ClubITR’s Annual BBQ tradition continued for 2015, as we headed out to Lane Cove National Park in late-November for a relaxing afternoon conversing about all things Honda. Sydney’s weather was at an all-time high in the days leading up to the event, and everyone was silently hoping that the weather wouldn’t be a repeat of...

For the past 10 years across Australia, passionate automotive enthusiasts have come together each month at End Of Month Meets to share their passion. It’s a passion that brings us together: different cars and different people from all kinds of different backgrounds. However for February’s EOMM at Sydney Dragway, things were a little different. We...
Visiting Lane Cove National Park is somewhat an annual tradition for ClubITR, and this year was no different. Last weekend we once again teamed up with ClubITR to host their Annual BBQ for 2014, and were joined by loads of cool Hondas and their owners in attendance. Temperatures for the day were approaching 40°C, a...
