Phil,
Tiif, ask Dingy to show you the video of c__w's (I think thats his username?) 205 Mi16 on track at Croft lapping the Cossies.

he wasnt lapping all of them see the '04 vids

but in fairness to chris ( i think his name is ) generally mint car with many many miles of track action under it - not mega power just mega reliable ( for a peugeot)

Thing is a cossie for 2.5-3k isn't going to be a well looked after machine, on the track it ain't going to last long..

I'd go for a fiesta/nova myself.. 2.5-3k will easily get a XR2 turbo ready to run.. Infact i know where theres a mint looking one in red for £1600..
