Question

Hi guys,

Over the weekend i was pleasently suprised by my other half by getting a Prodrive Live voucher for my birthday.

I'm wondering if any of you have been on one and what is was like.

Cool

I, along with a few other SN worthies, went on one organised by the SIDC - I think the 1st "commercial" one. I don't think its the normal one you get now ( ), but what I can tell you is that it was great fun & that all the people @ Prodrive were really nice and wanted you to enjoy the day (some dodgy stories though ).

I went on one of the very first ones and it was great fun - even if I did scuff my (then) shiny new wheels landing in a gravel trap

It means just that - as well as getting to drive Prodrive's 300bhp+ Impreza STI on the rally course, you also get a go in a old Land Rover on the off-road course. It's just another activity, obviously rather different to the others but still a fun way to pass 1/2 an hour. I enjoyed it.

Does anyone have a phone number for Prodrive Live?

I need to find out if they will accept people under 5'2" - the min height according to the Boots gift sets.

Not for me I hasten to add (I'm 6'1") but for my (much) better, if smaller, half

Yep, fantastic day out.

Just a little miffed my warranty claim for my tyres was rejected. Expected more than 1000 miles before they looked that bad
