Hey Fran

I have an '86 1.8 8v....I'll get me coat......

Its ok......quickest car I have had.....I seem to overtake lots of things in it, and will probably Marc Bolan myself one day...but at least I will have a grin on me face  ;D

Get an 8V and take it to TSR, then wave the 16V boys goodbye!

yep, and then wave goodbye to my milk float as it also passes you...

if you go mk2, make it a 16v.

Tin is right, the 8v is good car, but lets be honest everyone, the 16v is in a different league.
