Hi Tony,

My Accord is a 2002 Special Edition 4-door...it looks quite a bit like your car. The '02 Special Edition had all the power options including a sunroof, heated mirrors and heated cloth upholstered seats, the latter two very necessary in my area of Canada.

Having front-wheel drive is a benefit in snow as well.

It will hold all my gear...the rear seat folds ahead so the back is all cargo, and there is an opening right through to the trunk.

Bimmers are cool cars, especially the convertibles...would only get a month or two to use it up here on Cape Breton Island...summer is short, essentially two months of poor skiing...

BMW's hold their value well too, as do the Accords...always a good investment.

The first keyboard I saw with the chord inversions in the accompaniment was a KN-something...great sounds at the time as well...one of the first with PCM sampling I believe.

Yamaha and Roland were far behind at the time...they finally caught up, but Technics was still a premier arranger right to the end.

Too bad they stopped making them...very good quality instruments, they were.

Ian
