115bhp is still pretty reasonable, especially considering the car weighs 920kg!! 125bhp per ton...

Mine felt old and even if you get a well looked after one it will still be an old golf at the end of the day.

But fuk me did it get to 135 mph on the mway quick! Pulled like a train!

I had a 8v and it was mint, really enjoyed owning it. Had done 154k but still pulled really well. I've got a Haynes manual here for one if you want it. Just pay for postage and its yours.

Think I might keep corsa and then get the Golf when I graduate as a project car, get it absolutely mint in a near standard form, nice set of BBS wheels, full respray, leather interior etc then drop some crazy ass engine in it

I've just been looking at the E38 classifieds.

I don't understand how an average condition 8v can still fetch 1500 quid

yeah, but 1500 quid for a car which has a bit of rust, and is 18 years old, and not that special
