Welcome to BP.

I had a test drive of a DC2 and wasn't too impressed so bought the Scoob.

Welcome to BP :-D

DC2 is the only car that I have ever regreted selling.

Loved it, great fun and quite cheap nowdays.

I love Hondas and would have bought it. The guy in the showroom gave me the keys and said take it for a spin. David was with me so, we took it out, found a nice bit of flat straight and tried a 0-60 from standstill. Maybe it was a duff one but it just didn't seem as quick as a CRX or the Civic Type R we'd tried when they were first launched. I had a 2.2 vtec Prelude at the time and loved it but was so p!ssed off by BMWs that it had to be replaced. BMWs are no longer a problem :-D (except maybe at Cadwell)

Was it a JDM dc2 Gerry as they have an extra 20bhp over the UK model. Thats the 1 I'll be getting if I do get 1. From a standing start an EP3 Civic wont be able to get close to an ITR.
I'm going to see how insurence is next year with another years NCB.
I could probably get a scoob for around the same money but no offence at all how many of thoughs do you see every day? And also hondas are indistrucable lol!

It was a Honda dealer so very likely it was a UK car.

No offence taken :) A Honda would make a very good arrive and drive car as they're so indestructable.

Easiest way to tell the difference is uk have 2 round headlights and JDM have flat long ones.
And I do a lot of miles as I'm based in Newcastle so need a more reliable car.
I keep getting tempted to up my budget a bit and get an evo but mrs is nagging me that she wants to buy a house in the next year or so.
