What would be good? For me, either something jap or something silly.

Doesn't have to be too fast, nothing too exotic parts cost wise.
My thoughts were
Tatty Mk1 MR2 with ticket.
Volvo 340 1.7 (usually immaculate due to one giffer owner rwd not as
slow as reckoned, pretty hard to break).
Volvo 740 turbo saloon (cheap because it isn't an estate, will take a
manual boost controller for some extra oomph, rwd).
My brother who fancies going halves suggestion was an Escort SI.
Nothing else, just an Escort SI. No other car on the planet comes close
to providing the performance, parts cost and handling per quid than an
Escort SI in his world and he would be happy to trailer it behind his
Shogun. Or maybe a Nova at a push. He has no imagination.

This would be something that would have almost everything inside that
isn't needed for the MOT stripped out plus a couple of speakers and
radio for the times we drive there rather than tow, and a pair of bucket
seats. trackmods would be a fresh pair of shocks and some lower stiffer
springs, plus one box removed from the system and replaced with a length
of pipe, plus a hollowed cat if it pre-92, and a homebrew cold air
intake. Simple mods to free up breather and body roll.

I really like RWD, but for some reason he wants a FWD blue oval.


Hmm. Okay so trying to think of this from another perspective, if I wanted
a track day car to learn about how the stuff I usually drove handled and
went under stress, then something front wheel drive with a turbocharger
could suit.

Perhaps that's why?
