What does the panel think?

Came across this on ebay, Golf GTi MK2, 8V. Must be one of the last..

not exactly what I was after, but interesting all the same. I only ever had one, and it was shagged..

First and foremost, who gives a f*ck what the panel thinks ?

Do you like it ?

If so, good.

Buy it.

(As it happens, there are one or two things I'm not too sure about on it, but so what. If you like it,buy it.)

And no, I'm not particularly grouchy tonight, I've been all masculine and had a play in the garage with some spanners, that's all.

What he said. Although why is it so high at the back?

£1000 tops. Should be alright but an 8V doesn't really set the world alight. I'd be looking for a 16V if fuel economy's not an issue. Or a 205...

Looks like a roller skate :)

And if you go and look at it, look for rust under the rubber boot around the filler neck. If it has much, walk away.

Dunno why but in the photo taken from the side it doesn't look right somehow. Maybe it's just the photo, but I can't put my finger on it...

Looks too high, but he does say it's recently had new standard springs fitted. Maybe they haven't settled yet? ( I don't know if springs do or don't need to settle, just a thought)

They go bloody well with a 2.0 8v in though.

So well that bits fly off in Reading and are found again in Yorkshire.
