GALLERY: GOING ON AN ODYSSEY

Have you guys enjoyed haulers and sedans month? I for one sure have, and as we wrap it up I wanted to do a quick post celebrating one of my favorite people haulers of all time - the third and fourth gen JDM-spec Honda Odyssey.

Sydney's Need for Speed On Tour took over both venues at Fox Studios. In the Royal Hall of Industries would be a car meet...

My job was to source the cars. Finding 80 cars on a work day was certainly tricky, but a lot of the guys took the day off (or called in sick) to take part. Thanks guys!
