I've noticed that us Sierra Cosworth drivers always refer to our cars as........ cossie, cos, cosworth, is this because we don't really like being associated with the Sierra name, I know that i NEVER refer to it as the Sierra, Oh lets go out for a drive in the Sierra doesn't really sound very ,
so come on guys let's get to the bottom of this ! ! !

Your right

 

I always call it a saff

 

He he!! Its true!! We have a sierra estate also, when I'm taking that I say I'm taking the sierra, people know that I don't mean the cossie as I call that the cossie!!

 

Mines either referred to as the cossie, saff or twatting awkward bastard bust again

 

Not ashamed at all!!! how many sports cars double up as taxi's?!?!


Makes me laff when ppl try to be funny and take the piss callin it a taxi etc, im like yea and?! funny how they always want a lift in it

 

Yeah, funny that aint it

 

Sometimes i do call it the sierra when people ask what kinda car i have, just for a laugh, then i come and see them in it, and there are like What the f**k? it's pretty good like that, but i do see your point, rs turbo owners don't say escort, and my mate has an M3, he wouldn't call in the bmw or the 3 series, so it ain't just us, well i don't think so.

 

i call mine a shitter, snotter, taxi, rust bucket, bus with a hairdrier etcetc

 

Never called it a sierra apart from when ppl say "Which type of Cosworth?"

 

Raced a bmw 3.5si under took him 140mph left him standing
i was in the 500 let him get next to me at the round about and said to him what happened to you this is only a 2 litre
he said but its a cossie
i said it a sierra
SO JUST GIVE ERM THE JIP BACK WHEN IT BEATS THE F**K OUT OF THERE BMW
OR SKODA

 

happy to call mine a shit box sierra even more amusing when you waste most things on the road every one asks me if mines cossie anyway, I should just say yes, supercharged 2.9 V6 doesnt have the same ring to it lol

I'm gunna let you guys n gals into a little secret........ my mates refer to my cos as colin and it's kinda stuck !
it come from many drunken nites down the pub ! me n me mates thought it would be funny if we named our cars,
now me mates ask if i'm bringing colin wiv me

Deffo Cossie for me, Saph or Sierra doesn't get the emotions going like the word Cossie or Cosworth does.

Cosworth is a name that every decent petrol head young and old can associate with some of the quickest cars in the world.

Just my 2p
cheers

Yeah I agree, I use saff too tho

 

when peeps ask what i drive,i always say i drive a sierra
i know damo always says he drives a escort,lol

 

Yep, I say I drive a 16 year old Sierra. lol

 

i say i got a laguna cos thats what i normally drive.. feel a twat even bothering telling people i drive a cossie when i never use the think for anything other than track days and shows etc

 

I just say i have a 3 door cossie, people in to rs fords know what i mean!! Others always seem to think all 3 doors are RS500,s cos they have a big rear fin, then you have to explain the differences!!

 

Yeah I had to explain that to someone last week!

 

I call mine a Sierra. Gets the same blank look as when I tell them it's a Merkur.

Usually, I just point and say, "The funny-looking Escort."

 

Thats cos everyone wants to be driven in a taxi

IMO standard saph cossie r soooooooooooooooooo ugly and shite.
some nice rims and exhaust makes it look more mean and tough

 

I do admit that does sound a little dodgy, but i can hardly slag, when i got the sapphire the girlfriend insisted on naming it, so for the last 3 years it is more commonly known as "Clarence" not surprisingly, my mates still take the ppiss 3 years later.

 

 

PMSL!!

 

depends on where i am and who with, i often say saff so that it doesnt seem to be showing off but when someone is trying to big up there new punto turbo there dad brought them i say cossie or cosworth.

i also find that everyone that hears cosworth will automatically know the name even the birds
