The latest film in Honda's Channel 4 campaign stars Ben Hersey, a night fisherman from Devon who uses two Honda BF135 marine engines to power his boat 'Goldfish'.

This mini-documentary is the second in a series of films which explore and celebrate real-life people who use their Honda cars, ATVs, lawn mowers, generators, marine engines and motorbikes in unusual and extraordinary ways. Viewers may remember Philippa, the alpaca farmer, zipping around on her Honda ATV tending to her 100-strong herd in the first film which aired on 26 May 2011.

More than 25,000 people soaked in the fantastic sights from the top of the Honda Eye, the 40-metre high, 24 pod ferris wheel, experiencing Goodwood as they've never seen it before.

Queues formed every day for the free-of-charge attraction before it officially opened at 9am and it continued to pull in crowds until it took its last flight on Sunday evening.

Honda (UK)'s first foray into the world of show gardens at this year's Gardeners' World Live was a fantastic success with its beautiful 'Garden of Dreams' winning a prestigious RHS Silver medal.

The look and feel of the Garden of Dreams drew inspiration from Honda's 'Power of Dreams' philosophy and featured soft, dreamy plantings which contrasted with a dynamic, spiral pathway that lead into a contemplation pool. The pool itself was shaped like a keyhole, suggesting a portal to another place. Blue-grey painted walls and white trees and their shadows lengthened perspective, adding to the imagination of the space.

Honda is introducing two firsts at Goodwood Festival of Speed; the Honda Eye, a 40-metre high, 24-pod giant ferris wheel and the official debut of the CR-Z MUGEN.

The Honda Eye will enable visitors to experience widespread views of the Goodwood Estate and the beautiful surrounding areas of West Sussex. The Eye will be open throughout the Festival, running in 10 minute rotations from 9am - 6pm. Car enthusiasts can queue for multiple rides on the attraction, free of charge.

The nationwide search is on for people who use their Honda car, motorbike, lawn mower, marine engine, ATV or generator, in an extraordinary way to tell their story. It could be transforming a Civic into an ice cream van or using a Honda hedge trimmer to create outlandish creatures. Whatever the story, if it's unexpected and just a little bit daft, Honda wants to hear it.

Cyclist Ed Clancy, gymnast Beth Tweddle, javelin thrower Goldie Sayers and swimmer Jazmin Carlin have joined with Honda (UK) to form the Power of Dreams Team to inspire others to follow their ambitions.

Due to increased interest in used Honda cars, we urgently require quality used Honda vehicles to fulfil customer demand!

It is the intention of Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd (HUM) to return to their normal daily production plan during September. This follows the period of parts supply interruption and reduced production levels following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Associates and suppliers have all made tremendous efforts during this period to make this recovery possible.

Honda (UK) and MUGEN Euro have revealed the first official photographs of the CR-Z MUGEN - the higher-performance hybrid coupe.

Development of the supercharged Honda CR-Z is on track, with performance figures already looking promising. Early tests with a prototype car based on a standard CR-Z and a mid-tune engine have given 0-60mph times around that of the Civic Type R.

Roadtestreports.co.uk have named the Honda Jazz Hybrid as their Car Star of the Month.

Previously selected as their Car Star back in October 2009, the Jazz earns itself a moment in the spotlight once again, mainly on the merit of becoming Honda's latest hybrid model.

Although the new Lime Green colour isn't flavour of the month, overall Road Test Reports remarks:
