I know you're all dying to post in another one of these, so here it is to satisfy your urges

I have £650 to spend on a car for trackdays/santapod. I have a few factors to take into account -

1. It MUST be shorter than 4.4m
2. It must run
3. It needs to be pretty reliable (no V8 porsches)
4. I don't want anything boring, like a fiesta 1.1
5. Insurance is not a problem
6. I'm not fussed whether its FWD, RWD or AWD

(I'll actually use this one, which is why it needs to run )

Get suggesting

edit - ebay/autotrader links are welcome.

yeah Mav, i'm not allowed it poking out of the garage.

Mark, I can spend more if you give me the money for the bloody wheels

I was thinking 1.9 if i get a 205, 1.6 seems a bit, er... gay.

They are fantastic little cars. My mate has a S2 quicksilver with a 16v lump in it and although it's not built for 1/4 miles it still does a 15sec and will out handle most.
