What is going on with the "RS Snobbery" lately? When PF started up it was a welcome relief from the RSBB, and a place where you could actually exist and be noticed even if your car didn't have Cosworth or RS stamped on it...

But lately all I have been seeing is people shooting shit down cos it's not "real"....

For an example we'll use a Sierra Sapphire.... It is a Sierra Sapphire, no doubt about it, but people on here insist on saying it isn't real Eh, how can it not be real? Is it a kit car or something?

Oh no, what they meant was it's a Saff, but it's not a Cossie, so it can't be real.... WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOX

Take Jims new car - personally I love it, looks nice (and red ) and it has a great engine - one that is far better as a daily user than any YB (most likely FAR more reliable too ) and also as stock the 24v (in a Saff I mean) will cain std Saff Cossie's (nigh on identical bhp, but so much more torque)

But eveyone saying it is not "real" jsut shows how much snobbery there is within the RS ranks.... No your right, it is not a Sierra Cosworth but then it ain't trying to be is it? Okay might have a body kit on it from the Saff, but how many cars don't nowadays? It does have a Cosworth engine, jsut not the precious YB, so it can't be "real" can it?

So does that mena that if you stick a set of 17's on your Saff Cos or chip it and change the air filter yours is not real either?

It think that this snobbery is the real wound in the side of RS Owners and is THE main reason I will NOT join the RSOC, even tho currently I do own an RS....

Such a shame
