I have now decided what I want from my next car, just not which one.

6-8 grand to spend, could push to 10 for something special.(but the 10 would include insurance).

I want to do trackdays, not loads, or seriously but 5-10 a year.
I am 20 (will be 21 4years ncb) so can insure quite a lot of quicker cars within reason.
I want something light as tyres/pads will get used a lot on the track and dont wanna bust the bank too often on tyres/pads/disks etc...
I cannot insure 2 cars and dont have 3rd party entitlement so it has to be one car to take me to the track,and to work, and me and the mrs to the cinema. I live at home so it doesnt have to fit the shopping in and 4 seats are not really needed (might get me out of a few lifts).
At first I was thinking turbo MX5 which would seem perfect, but unfortunately the insurance is stupid with the turbo, for that money Id just have an elise and I dont want to pay much more than 1000 for insurance. So unfortunately, I think I am being led to frenchness in the form of a clio 172/182 with cup packs, which I love apart from it is french and wil probably fall apart.
 
you have got a very good point there about the insurance and it is the risk you take. You can get track day insurance but most dont as it is very expensive. I have been to a good few track days on my bike and there are few people who fall off, the ones who do generally just bend a peg etc... I presume it is the same with cars, you get a few unlucky people and a few people who push very hard because they have a lot of money and its a second car. Oh and if you hit someone else on track it tough **** for both parties generally. (normally expect a smack in the mouth though)
