Default No longer a ford bird!

I sold my beloved turbo about 3 weeks ago, but shes gone to a good home

Now driving a scooby doobey do, R reg facelift turbo, its lovely and power steering is a boost but there will never be another Swan (as I called it)

Get really emotional everytime I see one cruising about aberdeen, tempted to go get another one.

local holiday but im still at work

That depends on whether the cossie's working or not

Dave gutted isnt the word. I used to speak to it n everything, what a job my dad had scrubbing 2 years worth of lipgloss of the steering wheel where I used to kiss her everytime I got out hehe

chip - escort cossies are just the muts nuts honestly an awesome car. everytime i see one i look at the guy driving and think "dick" cause im jealous!

scoobs are a lot more modern and your right, much much cheaper for the same if not more power but then if your into your fords your always gonna have a soft spot for the king...

hmm my dad said it wud be out the frying pan into the fire!

I dunno, just fancied a subaru. I initially set out to get a cheap K plate wrx or something but ended up finding a nice facelift one and it will now be my "good" car until I can afford Ł15k for a cossie. At least the scoob is mine and ive paid for it, its called living within your means!

Makes sense, few things in life less enjoyable than having the car you want but not being able to afford to run it or maintain it etc!

Shame the S2 is gone and that you’ve moved away from Ford, but seems to be a natural progression

I had a classic shape Scooby and loved it, was only 209bhp but the AWD is great but I found the car very thirsty regardless how I drove it or whether on a run or not.

Sadly the Escort cossie has been left way behind by its Japanese rivals - Ł15 on a Sierra cosworth with an Escort shell on top, or an Evo, sadly I know which one I’d choose (a RWD saph! ) no seriously the Evo

I moved on from an 88 rs turbo to a my04 sti and its the best move i ever made. Will still have a soft spot for the fords but you cannot compare an escort with an impreza

I still have a soft spot for the S2. Will never own another though, the memory is great, the reality, not so...
