It would seem that there are a hell of a lot of very nice cossies being broke at the moment

is it finaly the time that everyone has had enough of the money pits and are getting out ?

good job im so good looking and can always become a movie star if the cossie scene goes

 

Such a shame.

 

It's a shame seeing such nice cars being broken but it can't be that everyone's had enough of the money pits as the parts seem to sell very fast! Expensive bits too

 

says the man who has broken nearly as many cosworths as I have fixed and modified

 

the shells live on if not rotten so i wonder how much of a threat it really is to the cars??

sure i can see why the money pits get broke then rebuilt as lightly modified/standard. Especially in this day and age.

Plus there will still be a demand for spares.

 

that is one reason i keeped the saff and rebuilt the engine keeping it on the road but if i was given Ł4750 i might be tempted to sell as it only need tax!

 

Shame. I guess the broken ones keep others up and running though.

 

because they are old shite now really

 

BLUNT...........

 

You know what i mean tho , there is a lot of good spec cars being pulled apart by long time owners

 

obviously your eyesight is failing in your twilight years

 

who else thinks paul is the spitting image of chubby brown
Paul at North yorkie bar spares

 

Just properly lost the love for owning one Paul...both of us. And you know how long we've had the car, and RS cars in general

 

it's your age james
it's all down hill for you now

 

Says the man at the bottom of the hill

 

Says stig of the dump

 

people spend too much money on them on parts etc...then the car is not worth the money except in bits, its a shame really.

 

A real shame mate , this is the point of my post , so many have lost the love

 

Didnt the same thing happen with the MK1 and escorts and look how popular and sought after they are now

 

Yep, I'm totally gutted, but for several important reasons, I know I'm doing the right thing

Shame the shells don't seem to be worth anything even when really nice, then people moan there's no nice shells

I'm sure I'll still catch you at the shows Paul

 

ive nearly sold mine 5 times now in the last 6 years or so but everytime i go to i cant do it. its a pain to own and expensive to fix but when its running well its awesome fun plus everyone commenting on the car when im out tells me not to sell it. im glad people do break them as i cant afford new parts (when there rarely available) and i uprate mine with used parts. plus the more get broken and the rarer they get the more mine is worth!

 

Hit the nail on the head there............. thats the way it happens with any make or model

 

I used to think like that, but you'll realise one day

 

Even capris went like that, now nice ones are a few k

 

How the fuck can a cossie breaker complain about a lack of nice cossies the irony

 

ive always liked cossies and always will, im 25 and half my mates did not know what a sierra was till i got minebut i love them to bits, i find people go to mad upgrading these cars to have the highest power ect and then have no choice but to break to get most there money back, what i do like about these are the fact that im insuring mine now on a classic policy at 25 with stage 3 spec ect for just over Ł500, i pay more to insure my mondeo diesel

 

i got sick to the back teeth of mine,thats why mine is gone,however i went out in my mates 3door yesterday and have now decided im having another when i can get more money together

 

most of the mk1 and 2 escorts are now running cossy running gear ,

 

Thats why I dont want to sell all my clobber cos Ill only end up wanting another one...... Ive already done it twice before

 

i sold my cossies and I don't have any urges to buy another
but then I am old and grumpy lol

 

Are they?

 

i love mine more everyday


pity i cant say the same about the wife lol,unlike tony

 

i went off the wife well before i went off cossies

 

at least you can break a cossie and get a few quid back tony ,break the wife and you end up in jail

 

Too true, even getting difficult to find a cheap saph now and the shells are going up and up.

 

you get money for a cosworth you don't for a wife
wives are great as long as they are somebody else's

 

that's entirely up to you..

 

im liking your style tony

 

Where have i complained

Im simply saying that there are a lot of good spec cars being broke and asking if people have lost the love

The only irony is a reply from you who obviously hasnt taken the time to read my post correctly

 

Not everyone is loosing the faith.

Still 20, have my 3 door and love them all to bits!

Out with the old in with the new, i say. Haha
