Here it is, the @buddyclubjapan racing spec front bumper for the S2000 with the @jsracingjapan tow hook colour matched to the @spoon_typeone Callipers! What a mission this has been! I have owned this for 18 months but only now is it finally on the car. It needed soooo much body work to fit on the car properly! The amount of man hours, craftmanship and money this has had means it now fits perfectly. HOWEVER, this ticks off a massive life goal. As a kid, every game that has the S2000 in it, I would always choose it and always put aftermarket body parts on it. I would watch Fast And Furious and dream of owning a car that looked so cool. To now have that very thing in real life is a surreal moment as I never thought I would even own an S2000, let alone one that now looks like this. 12 year old me can’t believe it! Don’t forget though… this is still just the beginning!! Chase your dreams!! 🥹🙌🏻🤌🏻

Where do I start?? This truly is a childhood dream come true! I never really thought this day would come but I guess a lot of hard work can get you where you want to be! Welcome to the next chapter! If this post does anything, I hope that it pushes you to CHASE YOUR DREAMS!! Thanks for all of your support and I hope you stick around! This really has been an incredibly emotional time for me. 12 year old me would be freaking out that I actually own an S2000 now! WHAT!!

I mean… JUST LOOK AT IT!! Not much left for this one now!

Daily… track car? I took my daily Honda Civic Type R EP3 out on track at Blyton Park for the @tegiwa 20th anniversary track day. It far exceeded my expectations considering this was never part of the plan for this car. No track pads, track tires, baffled sump or any clue on what I was doing but the EP3 performed so well! Was good fun chasing @charly_ep3 in her JDM EP3 too! #honda #civic #ep3

Thank you to @meguiarsuk for hosting and shout out to everyone who came along to my seminar at Meguiar’s HQ over the weekend. It seems like everyone had a good time and took away some knowledge. It’s so cool to be able to do events like this, just because I started sharing what I do with cars on the internet. 📸 by @gr.nt_ & @zarzcanfield 🖤💛

16 years with @zarzcanfield !!! Now officially half our lives together. What a weird, wild and hilarious ride it has been. Travelling the world, to building roots with our little sausage. From passing our driving tests, to you putting up with all this car stuff. Me putting up with your ever changing list of hobbies you seem to do all at the same time. Thank you for being the constant companion, my safety net and my best friend as we figure out this thing called life. Together. To my beautiful weirdo. I love you 😘😍❤️🥳

BIG changes coming for the S2000. An underside restoration at @ignite.automotive.uk is in progress and a whole host of parts will be getting installed to the underside of the car to give it a huge handling transformation. @nitron_suspension R1 coilovers (with front axel lift), @spoon_typeone bushes, rigid collars and rear bumpsteer kit, @hardraceuk ball joints, @powerflexbushes caster bolt kit and Anti Roll Bar bushes, @ktuned rear toe arms, @tegiwa drop links and all OEM Honda adjustment bolts. Various other parts will be added to the list, I am sure but part 1 of the series is live on YouTube now. I cannot wait to feel the difference that all of this will make. #honda #s2000 #car #restoration #jdm

2025, a year that started off so quiet for me with work which meant everything went on hold. After buying a house, this was a little scary financially. From June onwards though… wow, everything flipped the other way! Thanks for your continued support with the content I produce. I have got good feelings about 2026!! More car fun, more time with friends and more time with family! LETS GET IT!! Anyway, let’s break these photos down! 1: Zara and I at Japfest with both my cars and nearly 100 cars on the stand. 2: S2000 got some more upgrades from Japan. 3: travelled to Brussels for a shoot at EU parliament for the first time into Europe to work. 4: Zara got to have some fun with the roof down 5: got invited to SantaPod so took my dad. (First time ever being invited to an event because of the car content) 6: added Elisha to the family with such a fun wedding. 7: got invited as a surprise guest to a wedding (cropped me and Zarz out because of instagrams framing) still so cool that we got invited. 8: went to Mykonos for a crazy week shoot with my good friend Nath and I don’t really know how to explain this one in a short paragraph! Haha. What an amazing trip. 9: had an amazing weekend with family shooting some shots of the EP3 and eating amazing food. 10/11: met up with friends (which definitely needs to happen more in 2026) 12/13/14/15: Europe with Zara and Minnie. Going to Honda Euro Meet, sick abandoned F1 track, camping with the EP3. 1500 miles in a week. 16: Minnie just being the best doggo 17: achieving my goal of working with a brand I have wanted to work with for years. Meguiars. 18: ended the year with 10,000 followers on instagram, 16,000 subscribers on YouTube and 4000 followers on TikTok which shows that stuff is still growing even though I am soooo niche! 19: after months in the works, I went and picked up my new Nitron suspension for the S2000. Something I have wanted but didn’t know I could make happen. 20: the most important one of all. I became a freaking UNCLE!! So proud of my lil sis @isabelwoodcock_ and can’t wait to watch my niece grow up with some pretty cool parents. (My mum @karenross862 on nanna duties here)

Throwback to going out with @jacob_stanbridge to shoot photos of the Honda Civic Type R EP3 up in hills up north! This weekend was one of my most favourite weekends of the year. Chilling with family, getting these photos and eating some incredible food. I need to do more of this in 2026. This was the first time someone else has properly shot photos of my car so it’s cool to see it from someone else’s perspective! Plus, the Civic Type R on those roads was amazing too! #honda #civic #ep3 #car #typer

How sick does the Honda Civic Type R EP3 look in the @meguiarsuk Photo Booth About 2 years ago I set myself a goal of trying to work with brands that I really rate, on a more long term basis. One of the brands at the top of that list was @meguiars . In my eyes, they are the pinnacle of automotive detailing products so I set myself the challenge of figuring out a way in! Haha. That took a big step forward 1 year ago when I was able to take the S2000 for a Day In The Bay at the Meguiars HQ. I thought maybe it was a one time thing (as my cars aren’t show cars) but through being invited to the reopening of the HQ to filming the tour video, this is when it changed for me. I have never worked with a brand that is more interested in what I can get from them rather than the other way round and the whole team have been so accommodating of me and my ideas. I know this sounds like BS and maybe not a big deal but this was proof to myself that playing the long game is worth it and I feel honoured to be part of the “Meguiars family” (their words not mine). Thank you to the Meguiars UK team! Just chase those goals, it doesn’t matter what they are. You might just surprise yourself #Honda #civic #EP3 #s2000 #Meguiars #car #cars

The Honda Civic Type R EP3 at the dream location in France! So good I had to go twice on the same trip! The grandstands got to hear the glorious sound of a high revving N/A engine again as the K20 sang up to VTEC and 8600rpm! Exactly what a Type R Civic should do! Would you visit here? #honda #civic #EP3 #car #cars

Honda Civic Type R EP3 at one of the coolest places I have ever been. Circuit de Reims-Gueux is a grand stand and pit lane, on the side of the road! Completely free, no one there, unbelievable place! #honda #civic #ep3 #car #cars #typer
