Default Hello - finally ESCORT COSSIE !!

Hey Guys

Finally i came home

Yesterday evening I bought an Escort Cosworth.

I m from Germany and I had a Focus RS (sold in June) a BMW Z3 (sold this week) and now i m back home at FORD and will collect my Baby friday afternoon.

Here are some pics:















Facts will follow soon, as far as I know know - Wolf Package for 300 BHP with some goodies (Escort Turbo, FMIC, uprated fuel, cooling and oil pump) The engine was rebuild during winter (the seller as invoices for over 40000 euro he spent in the last 2 years) and has run 6000 km since then.

I can t await to get this car. hopefully the week goes past fast!!!

I hope this is the right forum, as I don t wanted to put it in the picture section.

hallo Sim, und wilkommen

being from up in Juelich, you must know Guido - username TurboGuido - from Ellmer Motorsports

also, as Mike says, you're not far from the 'ring, take it at the end of the month and meet up with some of the people off here

No, it's because he is under the thumb (his boyfriend won't let him come ) .

Hi Sim, long time no speak, hope all is well! Glad you've got rid of the hairdressers car and are back in the RS stable! Looks a really nice example.

And no, unfortunately, I won't be at the bloody Ring again (3rd missed trip ) as my good friends Mike, Charlie and my Dad have booked the trip and EXCLUDED me. ...and also, yes, I'm trying to save every penny to get a house, as my tight Dad will NEVER put me on a good salary!

what was it mr gaybird *lol* ?? Yeah Guido and me will do it....

erm I think its the master "bus" driver himself.

Some told me that he did something on your last ring visit, he came with a bus and a trailor and collected your car. It was for washing issues or?

I m really looking forward to meet you mad UK guys again. Will be fun, i m sure.

It was just as filthy when he brought it back, he's RUBBISH at cleaning , although quite handy at emergency drive-shaft repairs .
