Inspired by Honda’s 1966-67 factory Formula One team, I’m very proud to present the Mowichiro Honda HHRA273 - my challenger for the 2019 Formula Lawn season.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Tareim needs more cylinders came the closest with the Honda RA301 - which competed in the 1968 season.

Because you came the closest, I have no choice but you offer you the award as if you guessed it right.

Nothing.

Thank you for following along.

Hahaha! Oh man... I love your commitment. The shirt and that last photo are amazing. 

Your livery is restrained elegance.

How do you go through so many mowers so quickly?

Now I want to paint my Honda mower in Repsol colors... Except I suck at painting and I know it would look silly instead of awesome when it was done.

I want to do something like this to my ride-on. You should move up a step and do a ride-on next. Have you tried selling nay of these? I could see going on craigslist and getting a cheap $5 0 push mover, clean it up and paint it and sell it for like $2 00

This is only my second Mower since 2009. Aside from the deck, t he Flame and Martini was the same one.   I broke the muffler bolts off in the head last summer.

Much better response than r/F1. Post didn’t last a minute over there. They even removed it from the b-roll r/f1circlejerk subreddit.

I think I officially done with that site.

Thanks.

The only people who have an excuse to take car racing that seriously are the people who make their livings off the cars. Ugh.

You’re better off with us.

I think my post on circlejerk just showed back up after an hour.

And yes I did order the shirt. It has the Mowichiro logo (from the first pic) on the back of it.

I forgot it was a second deck for the last one.  I was just wondering since Honda’s are supposed to be good

First one (two liveries) was a $200 Craftsman/Briggs&Stratton. This is my first Honda (HHR) . The nicer Hondas (HRX) have a composite deck, but this one is metal.

I’m hoping to get years out of this one.

We had a good last year and my mower was literally completely submerged. Didn’t realize until after I tried to start it. It fired up the first pull. Still does, over a year later. Didn’t even replace the spark plug for a full season after the flood, either. gotta try to kill a Honda mower.

But yeah, run over.a.rock.or.root, and you'll crack the deck like any other
