Can remember jumping into a Cossie for the 1st time. Drove the RST down to the dealers and then into warp speed on the way back....

Then you get used to it and the vicious cycle begins.....

OOO remember my first one !

moonstone blue 2wd ! all the trimmings 350bhp ! a couldnt sleep for 3 days before buying it, got the flight down to essex and drove for 9 hours back to ayrshire ! dont think i blinked once ! butterflys ! all sorts of feelings running through me ! what a buzz !!

Then got to about 10 mins from house and at 5am in the morning a thought , iL give it a bit as so close to home ! into roundabout gave it a tickle !! whoooooshhh vvrooom ! ended up broadside oneway ! then the other way then screeched to a halt facing onthe way ! shaking like a leef , then crawled home with tail between legs

nearly killed myself around 5 times in that car !! what a experience that was !!

Never thought about it till now ! and i actaully for the first time say i miss it !!

Dont mi$$ some things though but enjoy it mate !! and be careful !

Need some pics mate!

I've had my first one for 10 months now and its been great. Been totally reliable (touch wood) except for needing a noisey water pump replacing.

I bought mine and drove it home then didn't drive it again for 3 weeks until i'd had time to change the engine, gearbox, transfer box and diff oils and give it a once over.

Look after it and it shouldn't let you down.
