I could, but you really can't get a suitcase in :-p

I've got a lovely picture of the rear luggage area in Dan's car:

The front luggage space is a bit bigger, but not very suitcase shaped I
think. Dan may elaborate.

I've got one of these:

It's a genuine Mazda one. Rated for 15kg apparently, which isn't all
that much.

It came from ebay for about �90 I think. Dunno if MK2 bootlids are
different from MK1 bootlids (or indeed whether yours is a MK1 or MK2)
but it seems well enough made.

Sell everything and buy dedicated cars.

Buy a *new* Citroën Berlingo to go shopping, generally farting around,
big enough to seat 4 people and some luggage, etc et

Buy a second hand, sorted Lotus ELise S1 for the track and the week-end
runs.

Budget? 15 kUKP and you will end up with 2 very reliable cars with close
to negligent running costs.

PS : Forget drifting, that's something for wankers.

The moment you are on a circuit with an Elise you will know.

Some import scoobs have adjustable biasing of the 4wd so you can set the
balance more toward rwd and make it more drift friendly.
