Something rear wheel drive, a decent power to weight ratio, and usefully a good (balanced) front/rear weight distribution too

Cheap and cheerful - Sierra :)

I had a Mondeo TD powered one, then a 5 dr hatch (2.0 DOHC) and now a 2.0 DOHC Saphire

All with Std Cossie Suspension and a Cossie rear diff (LSD)

Not only great fun, but a practical 2nd car - bits are cheap and they also have 4 doors :D :D

You should be able to find a tired Capri or BMW E30 for not much cash? :)

I love drifting my Volvo 940 Estate. It's really balanced and easy to control.

Scares the fook out of other road users as well :D

Anybody who knows where to get a *cheap* 2 door mk2 Escort I would be interested to know!

Cheers, Phil

Had a hugely entertaining drive back from a party in the New Forest following a fellow party-goer who, although into Capris, had borrowed his Dad's big turbo Volvo...

Best analogy I can think is canal narrowboat, fitted with one an engine from one of those big offshore racing speedboats... I didn't follow close behind him!

Get a 1.7 HLS, that was my first car and what a laugh.

Due to the crap suspension and bendy chassis coupled with tyres thinner than the average pedal cycle it was in a permanent state of drift on alomst any roundabout in the dry:D
