supercharged s2000 
high revving, can be loud with right exhaust, can be fuel efficient off vtec (30mpg), rwd for drifting fun, can be 'classy' for grown up occasions, can be used on track and if a high stage super charged kit will leave most behind.

So you have an Astra that you like which should make a good daily runner, you have a Corsa for fun which proved itself to do quite well when sideways at Combe  What's the problem?

You seem happy with the cars you have so why change that.

get a car you love from your childhood imo, go on a journey with it, if you buy the latest 5yr hot hatch you will get bored

Got a sensible car....i think id like to enter and do some proper racing like you - but i just dont think the corsa is good enough, needs about £1500-£2000 spending on it, straight cut gearbox, 4 pots and springs etc
hows it all going?!

i can see your point, but to me buying cars based on performance and money factors is why people get bored.
motorbike for speed, a classic car for the love, and a daily runner for the cheapness/practical side imo

You could make it into a BTCC replica and put an SR20 DET in it, you know you have the skills, you'd love it.

turbo mx5, 200sx, M3. mx5 will probably be cheap to build and probably cheap to run as well as being immensly fun. 200sx will be a money pit, and m3 will be refined and probably a bit of fun when youve finished with it.
