did not use my saff over winter winter and did not bother me but soon
as the weather warmed up i had to get it back on the road so yes
i know i would miss it

head gasket went toward's the end of last year which aint bad for 7 year's
of fun

 

sold my Escort Cossie 4 years ago and have always missed it, sooo much so I hope to get another one very shortly

 

I quite miss my FRST and my S1.

I think it's the kick of a turbo I miss more than anything, the RS1800 isn't anywhere near as fun to drive.
