Default turning mud and slush into a driveway

Right, preparations for work on my front garden to start this bank holiday.
I'm intending to dig out the clay, mud and slush and make a hard standing
for parking cars
(area is approx 25 feet x 8 feet)
Now I'm probably going to get many different answers to this, but hopefully
I cant find a common theme and work from that.
or someone can point me to a decent link, (lots out there on google but they
all contradict one another)
so here goes...
How deep to I dig?
What do I put in there? (hardcore? mix of something else? etc)
I'm planning on leaving enough room for block paving (when funds allow)
so for now I will park on top of the rubble/hardcore/whatever.
Should I hire a mini digger? (funds are tight or I'd get a man in!)
TIA
