Just like to say hello to everybody out there in Scoobyland.
Finally taken the plunge after many months and bought a Subaru to sit alongside my Caterham 7.
As residuals seem to be falling to sensible levels and dealers now are giving sane trade in figures, I have part ex. my Mk V1 RS 2000 against a '98 Prodrive.
I drove the Prodrive version right at the start of my search for a car and have always considered it to offer a little bit more than standard as regards drivability and outright go.
The test drive served to confirm this and the deal was done, a recent thread has been asking the merits of the Prodrive enhancment,
as a Scooby newcomer, all I can say is that I find the acceleration better, but the mid range in a different class. It might even push the Caterhan in that respect.
Hoping to pick up some tips from you guys.
Cheers

Hello JKJ
I'm glad you like your new car!
My top tip is, don't say you're a woman or else everyone will chat you up! I'd like to point out that I'm not a woman and I'm not chatting you up
Regards Bob

Welcome JKJ - hope you enjoy your new car. You're obviously already a petrolhead, but you will find that the Scooby thing is just a bit addictive 
Get yourself along to a meet or trackday and have a blast! Don't know where you are in the country, but there is a meet tomorrow in the Fleet area (check out the Southern section for details)
Cheers
Chris
