Im confused? Looks looks like your tailgating a Ferrari thorugh loads of roadworks and heavy traffic at not very high speed? Dont look or sound like either car was trying too hard?

Kinda jus looks like the Ferrari is pissed off someone sitting dangerously close to his ass on the m-way?

If you had a Ł130k supercar would you want an escort on your arse?

Nope, me neither.

Dont talk shit. Nowt to do with cars.
If I was in a shitbox Metro id still be annoyed that some Escort is sitting on my ass so close when I cant really move over or go faster, never mind in a fucking Ferrari.

Read the first post, it was fun! He was giving it small gun and not using full revs! If the Guy in the Ferrari was so pissed off why try to get space to undertake and keep going??? Oh, may i add, he gave the wave and nod as his junction was comming up. It was the second wee blast after we already had a small run, i had a chance to record this one after dropping my phone. If you listen to the end, we have a laugh at the age of the old geezer that was driving the Ferrari. It was not a race FFS! Just two nice cars having fun on the motorway. I think the insurance would have been pissed if the Ferrari got hit! Cheer up doom gloom ppl!

Cheers for the positive comments

may be worth editing the thread title then to "escort cosworth following ferrari 430" rather than versus.

Nice to see though but very misleading when you read the title and watch the video.

hi guys the escos is actually mine and im quite shocked by some of the replys, ok it said versus but what if it said (meets, follows,etc.) you would still be thinking raced, what happened to a bit of fun and car appreciation.

rapidcossie, id love to hear what the guy would think if it was your car, also you'll know the road pretty well you have to travel it all the time just to get a look at your car
davemark, why post such a silly remark when you dont know my car or what its capable of

now just to clear things up as peter said we already had a fun blast but unfortunately when it came to video-ing the ferrari lost its balls, i also know which car we would all rather have but cossies were put on the road for a cheap man to have his chance at owning these supercars so if any of you doubters have the balls and money to buy the ferrari and race it against escorts then i would love to see your videos.

davemark, what is your point here pal i didnt say i was going to beat it but it would ve been nice to give it a go but unfortunately he didnt want to, are you trying to tell me if your friends high powered cossies seen the ferrari they would just back off and say why why why that 430 is gonna kick my ass. i doubt that

i never said you didnt know what cossies were capable off i said you didnt know what mines was capable of and having raced several high powered cars including porsches ferraris etc i think this one would ve been quite interesting to see

i take it your mates have never raced or tried to race supercars because it seems to me that there is plenty of cossies out there that can beat them but obviously you ve never heard of it

Last time i checked this was an enthusiast site? I thought i would share the video for those who would appreciate it, if you dont like it dont watch it and bring it down. FFS its a bit of fun! Get over it!

As said, the Ferrai went for it but by the time the video started the traffic build up appeared. It was an older fella wanting a bit of fun on his way home from work. There wasnt a prize for winning so it wasnt "race" but innocent fun.

How the FUCK do you know you don't like it until you've watched it ffs! But yes, it IS an enthusiasts site, not a hang off your bumper trying to bait supercars site!

ok the title does suggest race but the first post certainly does not and no matter how peachy said it as soon as the context mentions ferrari and escos everyone will think race.
there was no baiting of supercars he found us hence the first we blast and we thought there would be a race hence camera, now we would love to show a video with a race but unfortunately it was never going to be and this is as good as it got.

carlo- car has only just been put back on the road having only covered 800 miles in 18 months but it has attended lots of meets before and is back out to play so we will get to some meets soon and theres not been a passionford one for a while. anyone interested
