Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Over the past handful of years I've been happy to drive a plethora of vehicles.

There's been one theme I've noticed though: I really tend to adore simple cars.

Give me manual cloth seats, a stripped out interior and switches and knobs to adjust the HVAC controls. The less fancy, the better. Bonus points if you can find a modern vehicle with "wind me down" windows.

I don't appear to be alone, either. A recent episode of Petrolicious followed Christopher Hoffman and his tale of his 1987 Honda Civic CRX Si, which is a highly desirable ride these days. And, for good reason.

Though it only produced 91 horsepower out of the box, it only weighs 1,900 pounds. And according to Hoffman he can count on one hand how many repairs he's had to have made.

That's because it's so damn simple not to mention this was when Honda was in its prime.

Take a look at Chris' story below and weigh in below are SIMPLE cars simply better?

At the young age of fourteen, Christopher Hoffman helped convince his mother to buy a '77 Honda Civic wagon. That was just a small, first step in what would become a life-long infatuation with Hondas.

They went on to take over their local Honda club (they wanted the club to include more driving events) and ten years later, Christopher bought his first new car ever, this 1987 Honda Civic CRX Si. He fell in love with the car on the drive home and vowed to keep it forever. And although he's owned the car for 27 years now, it's never broken down and Christopher can count on one hand how many repairs he's had to make (two of them are bulb replacements, it is a Honda after all).

Being a Honda, the CRX is also blessed with a very light, short shift that Christopher loves in addition to its sound and how freely the 1.5L four-cylinder revs. It may only have 91hp but in car that weighs about 1900 pounds, it's enough to leave Christopher smiling through the twisties.

POLL: Gerroa's ''Bum Tree'' will be chopped down in a move the council says will make the Gerroa Road corner safer.

Gerroa residents are incensed by Shoalhaven City Council's decision - in a confidential meeting - to chop down the iconic "Bum Tree" along with many other large gums on Gerroa Road near Berry.

The move was proposed to make the corner safer - it has been the scene of several accidents - and involves clearing six metres of all trees at the site.

This would mean the end of the well-known Bum Tree, which has growths protruding from its trunk in the shape of two buttocks, and on which some local wit has for many years painted the word "BUM" and an arrow.

Gerroa Environmental Protection Society president Warren Holder said the Bum Tree, a type of eucalypt called a blackbutt, is one of many that are important habitat for local wildlife, including sugar gliders.

They have now been invited by the council for a consultation meeting this afternoon to find out more about the decision, and to discuss options for using "part of the tree in an alternative form".

But today residents will hold a protest at the site.

The thought of a "bumectomy" has some locals horrified.

Mr Holder said it was "ridiculous" to invite residents for consultation on what to do with pieces of the tree once felled.

It was an interesting blend of historical narrative and knowledge on contemporary conservation work for all those who assembled at the Humayuns Tomb, a world heritage site, on Saturday morning.

A group of people from different walks of life were explained the rationale behind certain architectural design patterns and gardens of the Mughal era. Most importantly, they were updated about the significant restoration work undertaken by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which has also improved the socio-economic conditions of people living in the Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti.

Part of The Hindu Lit for Life, the event aimed at shedding light on the Mughal era was thankfully not a monologue but an interactive one as curious heritage lovers bombarded with questions AKTC project director Ratish Nanda, who spearheaded the restoration work of the Humayuns Tomb. Mr. Nanda succinctly explained the work done so far by his organisation.

The participants were first taken to the Isa Khans Garden Tomb, which pre-dates the Humayuns Tomb. We are standing within the large Humayuns Tomb complex. It is an ensemble of the 16 Century garden tomb. How many of you have read the Baburnama? In his memoir, Mughal emperor Babur was critical of the lack of enclosed gardens in Hindustan. Isa Khan was a noble in the court of Sher Shah Suri. It is the only octagonal tomb surviving of that period, said Mr. Nanda.

Reconstruction of the collapsed portions of the gateway, restoration of the finial on the dome and structural repairs to the garden retaining wall have been undertaken as part of the conservation work at the Isa Khans Garden Tomb.

While explaining the significant work carried out, Mr. Nanda was critical of the nasty reconstruction work undertaken during the past 150 years. He said using inappropriate construction material such as cement had led to deterioration of heritage buildings.

Pointing out that Aga Khan offered to restore the garden of Humayuns Tomb on the 50 anniversary of Indias Independence, the AKTC project director said cement concrete laid in the tomb during the 20 Century to prevent water ingress was removed from the roof.

As cement plaster was accelerating deterioration, we had to apply lime plaster. The conservation work was carried out to restore the architectural integrity. There were lightning conductors in canopies. The dome was leaking. So we had to fill the joint with limestone.

As part of the conservation work, master craftsmen from Uzbekistan trained youngsters from the Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti in the art of traditional tile making which had been lost in India.

During the interactive session, Mr. Nanda revealed that Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar had taken refuge at the Humayuns Tomb thinking the British would not dare to intrude inside.
