Pretty Baby,sexy lady-HOT!.The cars are ok too. 
She might at least have pointed out the Campaign model she was driving was a 1.8 (with 115bhp) if i remember correctly.I could change gear in a Land Rover Defender quicker than that. 
112 bhp in the 1.8 the 2.0 had 115 bhp (mk3) that 3bhp makes all the difference in a lightweight car like a mk1!!!
A drag race is one thing but on a twisty B road the two cars would be poles apart.
The turbo torque of the mk7 would blast it out of bends that it would hardly have to slow down for due to all the electronic gizmos, yet the mk1 would take up less space in the road and feel far more responsive and agile.
Give me the power steering of the mk7 any day, I had arms like Conan when I had my mk1s and early mk2s.
