It has been a long time since I recall seeing an Acura Vigor in such nice shape. I remember they seemed like a bit of a disappointment after the sporty Legend.

It has been a long time since I recall seeing an Acura Vigor in such nice shape. I remember they seemed like a bit of a disappointment after the sporty Legend.
Another Vigor found. I think there's two in my neighbourhood. The other is red if I remember rightly. But this one is not the same one I saw last October.
St Vigor, Fulbourn, Cambridge
I was cycing around the eastern outskirts of Cambridge, and I'd reached Teversham. The great majority of Teversham parish lies under Cambridge airport, and it is separated from the vast, dull, sprawling suburb of Cherry Hinton by only a few fields, but it still retains a sense of being a village. The name of Teversham may be familiar to people of a certain age because, until the reorganisation of telephone area codes in the 1980s, the eastern half of the city of Cambridge south of the river had a Teversham code rather than a Cambridge one.
Thirty years ago, I had cycled through this village nearly every day to get from one part of Cambridge suburbia to another, for reasons that will become apparent in a moment. However, the church here, which is ordinarily open, was locked, and as at Quy the keyholder was out. Feeling a bit fed up after three locked churches in a row, I headed on down the long straight road which leaves Teversham to the south. Here at last it was really rural, with stud farms and market gardens, and I remembered it all exactly from thirty years ago. Even the horses looked the same.
About a mile out of Teversham I re-entered the urban area by crossing a level crossing on the Cambridge to Ipswich line into Fulbourn, and here on the right were the houses where my wife was living when I first met her. They were hospital houses for nurses working at the Ida Darwin Hospital, a hospital for children with severe learning disabilities (or mental handicaps, as they were called in those days). The house where she lived has been demolished, and like so much of Cambridge suburbia, like so much of England, has been replaced with blocks of low-rise apartments and prissy winding roads of rabbit hutch semis. But Fulbourn itself I immediately recognised, it hadn't changed much at all. The two winding roads that connect the two ends of what was once a village still have their pretty 17th and 19th century houses, and the shopping area at the other end of the village, even with its supermarket and cafés, still feels like a village centre. But this is an illusion, of course - Fulbourn is now firmly cemented on to the city in a way that it really wasn't thirty years ago, and contributes 5,000 people to the urban area. And the village has changed in other ways - the two biggest employers back in 1984 were the Ida Darwin Hospital and the vast Fulbourn Hospital, a 19th Century mental hospital that had been the County Asylum. The greater proportion of people in the village worked as nurses, nursing assistants and other carers. That has all gone, of course. The Ida Darwin is no longer a residential hospital, and Fulbourn Hospital has become a business centre with vast new office buildings. Most people who live here are commuters now. But I stood in the old centre of the village and it brought back lots of memories.
Behind me towered St Vigor. Locked! Now, this was impossible - this church is always open. But a sign on the door said 'we apologise that this church is being kept locked until 21st October. If you wish to go inside please call the churchwarden on this number.' Now, with my luck so far I felt sure that the churchwarden would be out, but a small part of me wasn't too concerned if he was. You see, there is something about Fulbourn I haven't mentioned. The Rector of Fulbourn is none other than the great Alice Goodman, librettist of John Adams's 'Nixon in China' and 'Death of Klinghoffer', and regular appearer on arts programs. Even more, she is married to the poet Geoffrey Hill, whose Mercian Hymns and 'Ovid in the Third Reich' are regular revisits for me. They live at the Rectory beyond the shops. So how about if I went along and knocked on the door and said I'd come a long way and I wanted to see inside the church? I thought about doing this, but decided against it. The last thing I needed at the moment was to know I'd annoyed two of my literary heroes. So I rang the churchwarden, and he said he'd be there in 15 minutes. And he was.
As I waited I wandered around the exterior. This is a huge, beautiful church in a wide graveyard, quite the grandest church I would see today. It is pleasingly clustered at the west end, the tower peeping up from behind the aisles with its little fleche on top. My seven year old grandmother was living on the edge of this parish at the time of the 1911 census, and it was easy to imagine her rather strict parents hauling her up the path here of a Sunday. And I stood here now.
It turned out that the church was locked because there were a series of piano recitals coming up as part of the Fulbourn Festival, and the insurance company required the church to be locked while the two grand pianos were in the building. Actually, the interior is a disappointment after the exterior, though not without interest. A knight and his lady sleep on a high table top memeorial, there are some excellent brasses, and best of all a cadaver memorial like the one at Bury St Mary. I mentioned Alice Goodman to the churchwarden who told me he knew nothing about opera but 'she certainly was an interesting lady'.
And then there was no alternative but to head westwards into Cambridge. We are five miles from the city centre here, and most of that is utterly tedious, shabby low-rise estates, punctuated here and there by new schools and office blocks.
Jan. 6, 2012 -- Port Townsend, Washington
Members of the public, officials from WSF, Vigor and Washington State government gathered in Port Townsend for a community celebration for the new Washington state ferry Kennewick. It's the third 64-car ferry built for the state under a $213 million contract with Vigor Shipyards, formerly Todd Pacific. The Kennewick follows the Salish that went into service in July 2011 and the Chetzemoka that began service in November 2010.

St Vigor's Church, Fulbourn, Cambridge. Revd Rhiannon Jones addressing the congregation during the Sunday morning service today. She's got a new mission statement: working together for worship, welfare and care. Something like that. I offered to do a portrait and she was horrified: "Bad hair day":-( Women!

Honda CB5/CC2/CC3 (Inspire)
Sedan
This was Honda/Acura's tweener model: as the Integra moved slightly up and the Legend moved way, way up market they thought to fill the gap with the Vigor, which was pitched as an alternative to the BMW 3-series. Instead of the Dreier's RWD they chose FWD as cribbed from the Legend: longitudinal engine lending itself to an AWD system that never materialized. The C-Pillar is fairly nondescript and wouldn't look out of place on a contemporary Accord but for the frameless glass and the little cut-out kick-up at the rear window, which lends it a bit of playful charm.
