I dont know what it is as my mates own lots of jap crap evo/subaru/pulsar gti-r

Everytime i see any cosworth(ESPECIALLY 3DRS) really i stop stare all the way till out of site?

Is that because

A.CHILDHOOD DREAM
B.IVE NEVER OWNED 1
C.THEY REALLY ARE THAT MUCH OF A PRESENCE ON THE ROAD AND IN MY LIFE
D.I NEVER SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CATCH THEM IN MY COMAPNY CAR VW PASSAT
E. YOU NEVER SEE THEM

Just hope when i buy 1 it will be everything i hope as new cars just dont cut it
E.g see a fookin evo mr400 take a brief look and thats it not interested?

im exactly the same.. ive been brought up with cosworths and now i cant go without seeing one

unfortunatly ive had to go without one in the garage now since my dad sold his last one on the 28th november 2004

I personally feel that they are legendary a true icon of the car world as a whole despite what any loser thinks!

I could buy loads of newish sports cars but i need to own a cosworth and if i ever get bored i will just lock it away until i get 2nd wind

Worst thing i ever did was sell my series 1 to some scouse lad and the only reason i did that was because of the naggin missus

I put my foot down and told her that i wont get rid of the 3dr when i get 1 and if she is not happy well lets say unlucky for her !

biscuittin

i think its all of them
i have one ( had 5 now in total )
and even when i see one on the road you stop and look
i even like to just look at mine sat there , they just have that much going for them .
compared to jap stuff

Jimboxr4x4

Yeah, all of the above.

I done this with the car i own now !!

Now i sometimes forget what im driving , and think whats that d**k looking at etc , including the polis

AndyBrew

always stare at cossies in fact my boy thinks it hilarious to shout look cossie when we're out and then he says "ahhhh school boy error!"

just going outside to look at mine now

MancDave

So glad of some of them replies thought i was insanly obsessed in a nice way anyhow

rsvan

same as that mate, the ex thinks that people are looking at her...... TWAT!

mentalasanything

I'm the same with any RS, especially Escort Cossies, just cant help it and have to stare, I think they do just have that magnetic presence about them

RS's are often such a drain on the pocket, but it always seems worth it.

i am exactly the same for me its just because they are my dream cars! the escos is the ultimate car on the road imo! and one day i will own one!!!!

MancDave

Dont get me wrong love the escort to pieces

But the 3dr cuts the mustard in my eyes so oringinal and stunning piece of legendary FIRST CLASS craftmanship

Maybe i will own both 1 day
3DR IN WHITE
ESCORT COS IN ASH BLACK

Like i say though lets just get 1 first

Jimboxr4x4

Whenever I see one I point it out to the wife who to be honest couldn't care less, but they still impress me.

Speedy Gonzalez

i used to point out cossies to my ex and get really excited about seeing one and all i got from her was 'for gods sake its just another Ford with a bodykit and turbo'

what the fuck does she know?

boosthappy1

Ive had saff nearly 4 years now and the missus goes mad when i keep spending money on it.
Funny how when i mention selling it she wont let me.
ive been told i can only sell it when i can afford to replace it with a 3 door.

Seems like you can get out of a cossie
but you cant get a cossie out of you.

cossie's were proper cars for their time simple as that !!

the 3dr's looked the bollox when they first came out , they are a true late 80's icon , the word COSWORTH means Racing


cosworth is heritage right back form the mk1 escort days when ford was intrested in building top sports cars

the looks you get and the amount of people that want to talk to me about my car is crazy............but im the same if i see one in the petrol station lol

took my car to budget to get alloys balanced and the guy didint charge cause he was just happy to be doing something on a cosworth rather than subarus all the time

AndyBrew

"when ford was intrested in building top sports cars"

yeh what went wrong

MancDave

Andy brew ur wheels are the ones i want on my 3dr when i get it or some bbs nice and wide basterds
Can.t seen to beat the 7 diamonds they look so cool on safs and even better on series 1 turbs

I feel the same as all u guys.I love my saff cossie 4x4 to bits.All of the cossies look so much better than the common impreza every man n his dog own 1 I can remember 2 years ago when i was in ibzia on the way back 2 the airport on a bus n i seen an escort cossie go past the bus,and i shouted out on the bus COSSIE n everyone turn round and looked.Ops but yeh they r a real head turner n i love driving mine.It puts a smile on my face when i do drive it.I think my misses loves driving it more than me.

Terry Tibbs

Seriously think there is no other car with the road presence as a cossie.

Ferrari's, skylines, lambo's etc. etc.. all sound and look amazing but I look, then keep walking. There are more posh nob cars round my way than cossies. They are the original bad boy racer.

always wanted one since my dad showed me the size of the standard exhaust with hands once

in the 80's all the cars had pee shooters

AndyBrew

is there an echo

mattbibs

i was the same before i got mine - think it was just the rareity of them!

really sad i know - but when im at the petrol station in mine used to forget what i was driving so when paying for the petrol i used to look over and think *shit theres a 3dr over there*

AndyBrew

yeh i do that look out the window when in the queue and i look at all the other dullmobies and then see my baby and think oh yes

MancDave

Just out of a matter of interest has anyone sold there escos to get a 3dr instead and prefer it rwd ass out action?
