Smile just bought my first sierra cosworth with more pics to keep beefy happy

well after 2 attempts of owning a series 2 rs turbo and chaseing rot and many other thing i have now turned to sierra cosworths ,was a bit worried as i know nothing about them as well,one came up for sale on here lad called simon d7ake bristol rs chairman he seemed a honest bloke ,arranged a time to go and see it,enlisted the help of blacky and glennyboy big thank you lads for going all that way,got there simon got the car out of the garage and to my delight was a cracking car ,simon took us out for a ride in it and loved it,went back to his had a cup of tea and a chat and the deal was done,just like to say thanks simon your to honest lol.also had a big smile all the way home couldnt believe how fast it was scared myself a few times ,best moment was when i left the subura tho coming home.now i have to change my siggy blacky.

that scooby gave up when you both went past me closely followed by me going past him lol
I think Simon wasn't wanting to let it go but atleast ti will be getting well looked after

I remember my 1st one, 135 mile trip home, on 20 year old dunlop d40 tyres that were virtually bald, had zero grip, many sideways moments, was running like a bag of shit 187bhp on the rollers on stage 1!!, that's crank power btw, tyres were so shit used to break traction in 5th gear even with so little power in the wet/

steve we went a little slower on the way home than the way there but that was mainly due to traffic lol

if you spend your time listning for things going wrong there is no point having the car dive them enjoy them if they brake fix them but never drive them thinking whats going to brake next

Very nice car, easily the nicest Cosworth to drive IMHO, I love 2wd saffs. Stage 3 on a T34 is a rapid rapid car, that's where I would tune it to and leave it.
