I agree with you Ranj!

Am sure if Id invested so much time and effort in a project the last thing id want is a poorly maintained Cossie loosing it and puting an end to my pride and joy.

At speeds of....be it 170/180 200mph the environment needs to be controled, and that means limited numbers.....its just common sence!

ok rod but i can save ya 2 grand as ya already got the fastest car mate

tbh its a waste of ya money, YOU OWN THE FASTEST RECORDED COSWORTH, everyone knows that mate

i repsect ya alot and dont see the point you racing against a bunch of cars that know they aint gonna reach 200 mph to find your car is the fastest

if you race micheal schoey then we aint sure the outcome, why not do that ( id fooking pay to watch that btw )


rod please dont think im having a dig mate im not at all, dont get me wrong


i thought ya was doing it for a fun event for passionford

why not do a grudge match with the sweedish cossie boys

thats a wicked idea as no fooker in this contry has a car good enough

2 months ago 200 at brunters in a cosie was unbeliveable and could not be achived

nothing else has changed except your car prove us all wrong

60k

I can think of a whole load of ways to spend 60k......... on an old sierra isnt near the top of the list im affraid

each to there own but blimey thats some investment to reach 200mph - what do you think the return would now be ??

but if it makes you that happy then fair play

fook me i missed the 60k bit

im sure ya could buy a jet for that


no fooker is gonna have a chance at beating ya as 60k for a ford is a shote load of money and thats doing it the right way, can ya imagine spending that and getting 201.3mph



rod ya really are a top nutter mate, fook me thats a lot



be honest though if ya had the choice again would ya have bought a bike and had change for a weekend in playboy mansion

60K maybe you should read the post it was on that was the total amount spent on the car in 8 years and that includes the car, the 600 engine was suppriesingly cheap .

nice idea but given there's less than a handful of cars that could get anywhere near your current record it probably wouldn't make for a very interesting event.

It was a discussion mate thats all, I hope im allowed a view as well, apparently im not .but people like RSGus get personal & ive never met the guy.
As a moderator he should perhaps be the one who chills it. He should not publish posts ive editted ; an official complaint will be made, but i already no its a closed shop on this Forum.
Obviously my views are in the minority & I was trying to get a bit of competition into this Forum . Bad idea.
My interested has now evaporated in this event & my drinking chocolate is getting cold & the Mrs thinks ive had my fun for the night.

If you put a complaint in i think you will look a bit of a twat, as if you look back up the post you will see that "B8" posted a quote of what you said BEFORE RS Gus did

People hate people who have the records.....unless your certain people then you can do no wrong.


Big up MAD for actually producing a Sapphire that can do 200 plus OFFICIALLY.

I really cant see what is peoples problems....if i was Rod i would be rubbing every nose in it...if your jealous you need to think of a different hobby!

Dont see owt wrong with the post. But i do think it would be more fun for the cossie owners with lesser specced cars; not fair to have just the big boys there with the ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ

Dont normally post on these threads cus I cant be arsed with any of the clicky shit that goes on.

BUT, fairplay to Rod and MAD they were the first, theres bound to be others now cus thats how the big boy league go's.

60K over 8 years aint silly really when you think of the amount the rst lads spend over and over and there not even half the power of this car. Does it matter tho whats spent, who's built it, who drives it etc..... ITS ONLY A CAR!!! They achieved what they set out to do. Each to there own. If I was ever in the position where I had untold spare wonga sittin under my bed I'd blow it on gettin a cossie into the nines and bein a track car ledge. Never gonna happen tho.

If I'd just spent loads to prep the car for such an event I would'nt bring it out just for a fun thrash. If your in this braket of cars you wanna be up against the other players, Martin H, Sean. B, Porkie, Norweigen lads etc... etc.... Maybe one day they'll all work at the same time.

Jus be happy for each other and stop bitchin like kids man. This is a wicked site and I cant believe how much time I spend jus trawlin through it all, dont need the shitty bickerin that comes with some of the threads.

Not always tiff. TBH i regard people ive never met on here as just scroll on the screen....dont wish to talk to anyone who i dont 'really' want to....just because they browse the same forum as me dont make me want to converse. Some people id love to meet/chat to...others nah way lol/

Im sure others feel the same.
