just thought i would put a pic up of my cossie next to the new focus Rs in the showroom at work,
seeing them next to each other really does show how OLD the cossie looks and is really tempting me into buying a Focus!

 

they both look stunning in their own different ways mate

 

+1

 

Agreed, although yours would look 1,000,000 times better with the splitter. A lack of one really lets the front end down!

 

Agree with the splitter comment, would still want the EsCos though, but that is my preference, love the Focus too, but always wanted an EsCos. To me though it just shows how big cars are today compared to say 10/15 years ago!?

 

Bloody hell it absolutely dwarf's the cossie!

I'm a bit sick of old cars and wanting something new

 

Eye opener when they are parked together isn't it

 

escost look soooooooooo much older than i thought it "looked" now that I have seen it next to the mk2 FRS

 

Caption: Over the years, the RS has put on a LOT of weight!

Id take the escos any day, looks more purposeful at the front end

 

jesus the size difference

 

Brilliant comparison.. Yeah does make it look dated, but they are still cool as.
If anyone has really wanted an Escos then they should buy one before they buy something newer like the Focus RS. I use to think the Escos was so awsome until I bought a newer car.. that being an Evo8, and the Evo was such a better car as you could feel how the technology had advanced. But like I always say, you cant compare Cossies to focus Rs/ Evo's etc as it would be like comparing a master system to a PS3.

Nice Looking Cossie by the way.

 

Both nice cars but i still think you cant beat the look of the escos.

 

Exactly what I was thinking, modern cars are getting big & lardy.

 

wow that a cool pic,

Its amazing how small the escort looks to the focvo.
Even the ford oval is twice the size.

both nice cars though

 

i think the new ones wont have as many headgaskets and new pistons by the time its the same age as the escort lol

 

Spot on.

 

the focus looks so much bigger but the cossie is still king by far.

 

 

Fuckin lovely.

 

When the Focus is as old as the Escort Im pretty sure it won't be worth 1/4 as much. The Focus RS's are nice cars and I would have one for a daily driver, but the Escort would always be the weekend fun car

 

stunning picture mate.

 

good lord get a fucking splitter on there, i would swear that was a rep!

 

ha the front splitter and hockey sticks had to be taken off to get the car in the showroom! i havent bothered putting it back on yet as i will need to take it off to get it out again!
what do you reckon to the lack of door handles?

 

how do you get in then? thru the sunroof?

 

Maybe he's originally from Manchester

 

THEY BOTH LOOK GR8!

I like the look with the lack of doorhandles, i want to do it to my escort van

 

through the boot at the moment!
im waiting for the electrician here to wire up the solenoids to the remote.

 

+1 agreed, looks a bit naked

 

"what do you reckon to the lack of door handles?"

looks awful, one of my pet hates when peeps modify cars sorry but its chav as owt

 

Same as Silky - I think it looks wrong without door handles.

The only cool door handle mod I saw on a Ford (can't remember, but I think it was an RST) was them being shaved down flush with the door. Even then it still looked strange.

 

Agreed. REALLY bad IMO

 

NIce! Not many dealerships would let you put a car like that in! I remember the Vospers ford dealer in plymouth and hes got a huge RS collection including an RS200 and he often has a few on show scattered round the showroom!
