To be honest, the more i sleep on it, the more my budget creeps lower and lower. I always thought when i had a proper job with a decent wage I'd buy a v8 m3. Now I could probably afford one, i simply can't justify one.
Ultimately what I want a car for right now is a handful of trackdays and the odd spin out of London. A 10k s2000 is probably a bit nice for that, considering it would be bought mostly with a loan.
I've had all the best affordable 90s and 00s cars (106 gti, 306 gti, clio 172, accord type r, jdm dc2 type r, e36 m3 evo), and probably miss the dc2 and 172 the most. Nowadays a decent dc2 is too expensive imo, and I feel like I've overdone it on the French hatch buzz (sold my 220 trophy in feb).
I'm looking at what I could buy outright for 2k cash just to have fun in, and keep landing on mx5 or mr2. Heart wants a mk3 mr2 but head says all my mates will laugh at me, despite it having a wicked chassis...
