i mean i can justify lusting over a RST..mainly because than can be picked up for about 3 grand..not 13-15 grand.

This is why i want a RST not an Escos...im just trying to be realistict if you know what i mean!

Still not much buying the car tbh as most repmobiles cost more than these cars but are a fraction of the running costs involved thats where the real money is.

Not meaning to be funny mate,but i find your pessimism a little sad,Please don`t take that the wrong way but if you never aspire to something,you will never get it.........

There lots of things i thought i would never be able to own but i have managed to get most of them in time..

Don`t give up on something just because it SEEMS out of reach.....Go out there and make it happen.....

Just get the overtime in M8 and dont spend it down the pup. Not much fun but you have to make some sacrifices to get what you want sometimes

anything is possible if you want it.

if i wanted to i could sell the s2 tomorrow and get an escos/rs500 whatever. but it WOULD be on finance.

and as someone once said, and its sooooo true;

IF YOU CANT AFFORD A COSWORTH TWICE, YOU CANT AFFORD ONE.

as for you people who have 2 cossies, well ...

i got my cars from damn hard work, had a saff cos when i was 18 and never looked back since!

i work on fords every day for a living, come home and buy/sell ford bits then go to sleep and dream about fords, sad i know but its my life, litteraly!!!!

hence basically 2 full time jobs i can afford a big BHP cossie ( and run it) and a very nice mk3 escort for day to day use.

i dont earn any more than joe average, probebly less infact.
but i pay for my babys with much blood and tears, my saff is into me for more than 15grand and i could never afford it but i make myself afford it!

drive one and you`ll understand

I will defo never have one, the house purchase has put that idea to bed now.

Plus even if I did get one I wouldn't have a garage to put it in and I'm buggered if it would sit on the roadside for chavs to key

well this is my thoughts...y not get a normal escort and make it a Cosworth replica then give it an engine to match!
this would cost less about 5-6 grand and still look the same as the real deal ( well almost)

Like said above - it's bad enough having one but i've got 2 as well. The Escos and a E reg 3door (show in last months classic ford).

These cars don't depreciate klike normal motors so your moneys safe, plus there's the love of the cars and the passion for them.

I dont have a Cossie but i've got a Focus RS, three FRST's, a Series 1 ERST, a Series 2 ERST, Mini Cooper Sportspack and an Xr2i, plus a Fiesta Calypso (Mk3 Festa with a full length elctric sunroof) Plus the missus has an FRST.

Cars are a bottomless pit to pour money into
