Could you go halves on a track car with someone else, and have it live at their place?
That’s not a bad shout Faisal. Dougle I’ve got a caged E36 on joint ownership... it lives in my garage keeping warm and dry, so I’m pretty sure he’d be happy for you to pay it’s keep instead... or a three way? :lol:
PM me some details Marc, where are you located again?

As I keep telling people, there is nothing strange about meeting men I hardly know, in car parks, at the weekend.

 I looked at installing a carlift for a property I was considering once. Would solve the dilemma and you can even get double ones.

Well, I think I can safely say that the masses have spoken - I would be crazy. Happily, I've managed to secure a garage for the track car, (well a space to build a new garage). So I'm keeping the B7 (although I've just had a new RS3 for an extended test drive this weekend-so so fast).

So now I just have to find the car and build the garage. I'm fairly sure I'm going with the tried and tested cheap and French route (1*2). I have a date booked with a certain 'track ready' Frenchie at the end of the month and have been scouring the classifieds.

If anyone else has any ideas on the car I'm all ears. :thumbs:

Good man!

The cars I considered were:

- Clio
- MX5 with a turbo or supercharger
- E36 328
- S2000
- Mini Cooper S

Then the TT came up for sale..

There’s a few R26 Megane’s available for that sort of money too. E36’s are a good base, you’d be able to build a great car from.

Do you have a preference which wheels are driven?
