Anyone out there experienced this? you know,you do loads of mods/cleaning/servicing to your cosworth and something breaks and thats it,i`m selling it. Next morning you get up,well i`ll just sort that out and see how it goes. Next day,this is mint nothing can touch me on the roads,but could do with a new such and such and then back to square one. Or is it just me? Ive been that close to buyin a new scooby or evo but cant find the heart to get rid of me saph. And everyone tells me once you had one,you`ll always go back.. The cosworth hold.

 

Yeah yeah yeah !

I the opposite though , in the morning i want to sell then as day goes on its the tits again , sold mine 9 months ago and bought another one 2 weeks ago , it reallly is great when its going good , but i just try and not get too down when it goes tits up

End of the day we know what were getting ourselves into with these cars , and the looks we get is enogh to make it all worth while

This is one thing i learned on selling my last one !

 

So true, i said i'd never have another when i sold my first one but i've got another now. A few of my mates did the same

 

Welcome to Cosworth ownership...... when I sold my 1st 1 after Ł15k spent I said.... "never again" I'm now on my 3rd

 

been there and done that found the solution is to get one
and somethin else to keep me happy

 

I do it all the time,think and work out how much its worth in bits,then when I go out to the garage have a look and think I just cant get rid think I would regret it big time if I sold it.

How many people go back to them,almost everyone

KEEP THE COSSIES

 

Ive had mine for nine years now and went look at scooby and come back with another saph,only 4x4 this time for the mrs

 

yep i'm there again on my 5th now
all is going great with this one
had enough saved for an evo or scoop of poo , but went and blew the lot on a much older cossie ,
but i love it
just cant seem to bring my self to buy anything alse

 

Yes, we're all the same mate. I said I'd never have another Escort Cossie after I sold the first one, but here I am again. Bits breaking and spending money on them is half the 'fun'. And sharing your experiences with other people in the same boat too. It's more of a scene than any other type of car.

I wonder if there is a Vauxhall Vectra owners club? If there is I don't want to be part of it.

 

Yip iam the same i love the old 3 door even newer cars dont match up and ive had a fewer newer cars

 

3 DOORS RULE !

I want one

Oh shit i already have one , whhay haehhh

 

i have a vectra gsi to run around,nice fast thing

 

There at the moment again with mine if you look in the cars for sale section

 

Yep, im the same on my 7th now and every now and then i think evo or skyline, but then see one on the road and say to my self the cossie would tear that apart and cant bring myself to change to any thing else.
Although i have had a focus st3 in orange for a few months and its good in every way but it aint no cossie
Im after another as i just sold mine but dont know what to go for, i change my mind daily, between 3dr or escoss. mmmmmmm??
Had an escoss and didnt like it but drove my mates recently (small turbo) and quite liked it but a 3dr in moonstone with white comps is a stunning looking car!!!

cheers steve

 

Cozzfather, I'm not knocking them, my mate has got one and they're good cars, but like most cars now they don't have the soul of the RS.

 

Ive just been cured of teh illness after 15 long years.

 

But dont you miss the power and buzz a good turbo charged car gives??


cheers steve

 

when my cossie wouldnbt start i wanted to sell it
when the wiring loom fucked up i was going to sell it
When the cam-belt snapped i was going to set light to it

But guess what: i fixed every fault and cant get rid.

 

i live my by hating my cossie

 

No.
But only because i still drive everyone elses problems, erm, i mean performance cars around every working day.

 

Saying that though Stu now your out of it do you think MSD will go towards the jap/german side of things or?
not digging just curious is all
Martin

 

Never actually did many fords in teh forst place, but i dont see anything changing, we will still map anything with an engine mate.

 

Cool because whatever i decide on next i will get you to work your magic on, but i dont think it will be t4 next time maybe gt30, but we will see.
Oh and by the way top work on the saff mate it really has been awesome, when the gearbox has worked but no engine problems whatsoever

cheers steve

 

My pleasure Steve, always nice to do work for you mate, the cars always right and a pleasure to Map. Nice cars, nice people, perfect job.

 

 

its an rs thing not just cossie! had the "broke it fuck it sell it" fixed it love it keep it"many times.eventually sold the series 2 and bought a pulsar and kept going to rs meets then shock horror couldnt go without so bought a saff and never looked back! except mine has only broke a few times

 

It's called "PassionFord", some of the other "members" should remember that .

 

I think we are flogging a dead horse trying to get people to remember what web site they are on

 

you summed it up very well there trev....i always think of getting another car. but i love going to the meets, using passionford and especially attending shows like ford fair and central day

my car may not be the best, fastest or best looking car on the road, and it has a certain chav factor, but its the things like the looks you get from other ford drivers (fiesta's escorts etc) that make it worth it

and also. there are very few other cars which create the grin factor of a stage 3 cos, for scaring the shit out of pasengers and making panties moist

 

I know the felling my headgaskets just gone

 

Thought this was now PassionBMW..........

 

Just gonna post that.

I said/say that everytime any of the (two ) RS's I've had/own have fooked up. But then I think: if I sell it now I'll get cock all as this is broken. If I fix it & everything is ok, why should I sell it and someone else get the benefit of my money I've just spent...

Part of the *cough* enjoyment...

 

try 4 years 4 saffs and 1 RS500
and still have the saff with the RS500

3 engine rebuilds
2 in the machines shop now =5
so wont be of the road for long if or next time !!!

 

rs-shawn

 

its a bad bug-
i sold my rs 500 a while back-have had a couple of sapphies in to sell on which didnt float my boat.got an evo 4 which i like driving and i have an impreza here for sale.
this morning i find myself looking for a nice 3 door to buy-

never ever completely get them out of your system......PASSION ford

even if we do go on about how good jap/german stuff is

 

Yea had the same feeling matey was going to sell the 3dr (13 years ownership), but then everytime i go into the garage & see her i change my mind coz if i did sell what could we get that gives us so much fun unless we spend thousands

 

Not ..........Get it bought if its a decent one Jay

 

its the joy of motoring

 

They can save a bit of money
SPEEDING BAN !!!

 

can't beleive i'm actually thinking about another
