Default Escort Cosworth Drivers...

What is the youngest age, that you know of, of a Escort Cosworth owner?

I am 16 and can't wait to start driving next year. One day I wish to own an Escort Cosworth and was just wondering how long I will have to wait.



Cheers

You have all made my day! I thought I'd have to wait til I was something like 25. I want to get a Mk3 Fiesta Si 1.6 or a Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 when I start driving in Feb 2006 (Dad paying insurance), am looking for a job now to start saving.
