Had it alot with my old one because I had an 'H' plate on it. Not had it so much with my new one though...but my brother just will not believe they come with the spoiler. He's convinced I added it myself and he slags me rotten for it, now that's annoying!

Happened tonite, stuck in traffic in Glasgow M8 ( nightmare of a road) towing the Fiesta on the trailer with my girlfriend driving the ESCOS and she was asked by a guy in a van if it was the real deal, guy should stick to just driving vans and stop asking stoopid questions

never, people around here don't even know what a cosworth is! those in the know, usually say "classic, and USED to be really fast, but my up-to-date scooby is now faster."

AS for "is it real" - been asked twice! - both times said it was a replica, and asked if they thought it was a good one

I always say..."yep it's a replica" especially the other day I was chatting to a bloke who saw a picture of my orange one. He said...
" oh my god, look at that! Why do people bother doing replica's?"
I said "Blimey how can you tell it is not a real one?"
He said " Well erm it's orange....who'd paint a real one that colour?!"
What a cock!!

As for tellin me i'm stupid for spending that much on a car like that and that I should have invested it into property, you can't take a house for a blast round the roads and come back with the biggest grin on your face. When you open the front door of a house there's dustin, washing up, cleaning the kitchen floor, hoovering, I know what i'd rather spend my money on!!!! (Something that takes 2 hours to clean and not 2 days!!)

" You can live in your car, but you can't drive your house"
oh and I have never heard anyone drive passed my house and say " F*ck me, look at that fron door!!. My missus said to me once, "Lets get the driveway done, so it looks nice" I said fine, and bought another cossy, there you go that looks lovely

Yep, same thing here yet you might have thought people working at Bentley might have realised that it came with the front splitter.

Its because of all the reps that we get this shit...
if i get asked the lights, all i do is hold it at 4k and drop the clutch and wonder what there faces must of looked like.
but do get it now and then, but you can think that the people who ask are nothing but stoopid numptys and you just want to flick them...
thought it was funny the other day a friend ive known for ages, i saw her and came on subject of cars and she asked if i still had the escort, so i said yes i still have the escort cossy (dont forget that part) then she thought that i had done all the mods myself, so i said what mods.

Thought for the day, bearing in mind that I live in Germany.
Was frequently asked if my MK 2 Golf Gti was real 'cos that's what the lads were into faking/replicating, back then.
They still fake Golf GTis here.
Which proves that at least the faking fakers in the UK have more taste in what they faking fake.
As for being asked if my Cossie is real, yes I've been asked, just the once. By a fellow Brit living here in Germany. I replied that it's a real 1 & he went away a happy punter.

Here in Holland i've got the same problem.
Last week also, I was waiting in my EsCos for my girlfriend in the city. There where walking 2 guys, and they gave compliments to me, because i've "tuned" the car so good . "it hard to see that it was original an Escort" said one...
I told him, "it is an original Escort"
And again I had to tell the whole story about Escort Cosworth's blablabla etc.

Been asked a few times. One lad at work asked if it was a real one, before i could say anything my mate said ask a stupid question like that again and i will bum rape you
I have been asked a few times at petrol stations in Crewe if its real. If its some young barry boy i just smile shake my head and walk off. Then if its someone older i normally just say yes which is followed by, dont see many anymore nice to see them about
I dont do myself any favours though, when asked what do you drive i just say a 19year old Sierra.

Don't really mind when they ask me if it's "real" or not 
Only thing that annoys me is when they ask where I got the frontbumper of the FRS and if it needed a lot of modification

(Something that takes 2 hours to clean and not 2 days!!)i still mantain that if you buy the right one and only use it lightly
keep it tip top etc,its like money in the bank.
you could spend 11 grand on a tidy one keep it a while and still get
your cash back,try doing that with a new mondeo
