Most of the time I find babyboy in a mechanic workshops unlike the EOD'S is it that the Babyboys have factory problem or what?

I don't even know what these cars are.

What are their real names, and what model year are they?

I bet you that most of the issues has to do with the transmission!

The majority of automatic transmission's are prone to failure, some just seem to last longer than others.

If Nigerians would embrace manual trannies, which are maintainance-free, they'd have removed a massive chunk of unreliability from their cars. Manual trannies are a lot more robust, don't need any servicing, the oil is generally filled for life from the factory, and so doesn't require periodic flushing, and replacement.

Hi Siena sorry if this is not the appropriate channel but do you do RHD to LHD conversions im in london UK thank you
have your number so removed my email

No worries, Ibadan. Feel free to give me a call - 07818 228 225.

Hi Siena thanks for the prompt reply will give you a call later, have a 406 that am thinking of converting to LHD and exporting or getting rid off, looking forward to your newaudi build, have a renault alpine GTA myself needs some work but there never seems to be enough time to give it the TLC it deserves.

Renault Alpine!! A rare breed indeed, last one I worked on was back in 2002!

Nice cars, and with a high content of plastic used in the body, rust will never be a problem.

Thanks Siena actually used to belong to the now defunct Group B car club had a mid engined renault 5 turbo 2 beforethe Alpine the missus made me sell it said i was paying it too much attention, from your posts I deduce you are still at an age where you like shifting (driving a Manual) the older you get like me the more you realize that autos are the way to go, you havent lived till you have gotten stuck in stop and start traffic on western avenue for 4 hours. Thats why Nigerins are so into thier Autos.

I feel your car passion!

I'm a lot older than you think, bro. You'll be surprised. I'm a late '60's / early '70's guy.

1)Baby boys are older than the EODs so you should expect to see more baby boys at the mechanic workshop.
2)Baby boys are more common on the roads so the chance of seeing more baby boys at the work shop should be more.

@Siena, those are nick-names given to various year models of Honda Accord.Eg:-
Halla:1991 to 1993
              Bullet and Bulldog:1994 to 1997.('97 bulldog AKA Academy)('96 to97 bullet AKA Tigerface)
              Baby boy: 1998 to 2002.
              End of Discission (EOD):2003 to 2005
              Discussion continues:2006 to 2007
              Anaconda:2008 to date

I could very well be, who knows, huh?

Camry 2000 are much more than the Honda Accord 2000 but you dont find them in the workshop on a frequent bases, what can u say about that

@poster,
I am sure the babyboy you would be seeing are not the Honda Accord 2002 Model which are the last edition, You know why? cause all problems on babyboy has been corrected in that year.

Hi Siena did not mean to insinuate that you are a grandpapa. im a mid sixties guy myself and find that driving  a manual in london traffic is a bit lke pulling teeth without novocain

wow thanks a million for the info will be in touch now i have your mobile. the cost of LHD cars in the uk borders on being robbery when compared to the equivalent RHD will continue my research to see if its cheaper to get one from the US. only issue is logistics. thanks again for the info.

No worries, Ibadan.
