or do you just wish to skirt round every question you are asked so as to make a fast buck from people who dont know shit about escort cossies ?

Default cossie days

the cars are group N spec rally cars with anti lag and are used as such on both gravel and tarmac events. They are not pampered ornaments. As such they also have to be reliable and are built with that in mind. So to answer the question again They are Group N rally cars (bilsteins, sport box etc) Sorry they are not full group A or world rally cars.

I have no intention of making a fast buck out of people who that "dont know **** about cossies". Any body that knows about Cossies will know how much they cost to run on gravel. The intention is to give enthusiasts the opportunity to drive an Escort Cossie Rally Car on proper gravel roads in a safe and controlled environment. The hooligans can stay at home.

Do you compete in your car? We sometimes need experienced competitors to be instructors.

sounds like damned good fun & would be a good insight to most Escort Cosworth owners (even you guys who own "rally replicas" ) what their car was actually built for!!

seems to me that a good few people would like to have a go, we have dates available in December, pm me if you fancy it and I will see if I can get a day together for Passion Ford members, could be a good social event just prior to Christmas.

Failing that we will be selling gift vouchers, ideal xmas pressie for the ford fanatic in your life.

cool, and im with you there, sounds very good indeed if that is the case, No I dont compete in my cossie, am afraid its a road going car only.

Ive rallied in the past though, and have a fair involvement in rallying here.

Good luck from me in your venture, it sounds very good.
