Considering another car, for fun (including rallying) after the XR goes....
3 basic options, although I'm thinking of more each day:- Pug 205 XS/TD/GTi - cheap and cheerful. Quick and well setup out of the box and I understand them. Cost £400
- Volvo 360 GLT - even cheaper than the Pug but you get RWD and a half decent weight balance. However would need at least a brake upgrade to vented jobbies, which isnt as easy as it sounds. Cost £300
- BMW 325i Sport (E30) - a mate has moved to London and doesnt need it any more. Needs a new sump (about £120 for a new one) and some engine mounts (few quid each) and the exhuast is blowing. On the plus side its RWD,
I'm liking the idea of the 325, but I fear it may turn into a money pit as its high mileage! Can anyone else suggest a sub £500 car for some fun?
