That's the spirit! :)

Had my Saff for 12 years, seems the longer you have it, the more you get hooked! :)

Weeksy 12-06-2012 11:54 AM

18 years for me too!

I have a Sapphire though ;-( So glad I resisted the temptation to boy it up and add all the crap to it in the 90's. It just got a little faster!

Who knows where will be with them in 18 years time!?

KSA-Cossie 12-06-2012 11:55 AM

Mr S1 12-06-2012 12:33 PM

Rod-Tarry 13-06-2012 10:02 AM

16 years for me however im at an age when i do see the end of my Cosworth ownership. May reach 18 years but deffo not 20 will be 71 by then & fancy a veteran car not a Cossie. Enjoyed my time of Cosworth ownership & have achieved everything i set out to do with the car.

Use the BBCode to paste the pics...
