Then a few months later i went into the shop and see a mag with a series 2 on it, i bought the mag and inside was an escort cosworth and from then on that was to be my dream car! Now ten years later i own a escos. i will get a series 2 one day tho!

10 years ago, top of my list was a Sapphire Cosworth 2wd
1st choice in black, Flint Grey 2nd choice of colour. Got my 2nd choice colour - still have it - been a brilliant car.

Also wanted :-

Astra GTE 16v
Lotus Carlton
Colt Lancer Turbo ( the original rwd one )

Had the Astra GTE 16v for 3 years ( loved it, wished I hadn't sold it )

Doubt I'll get the other 2 now

In the mid 90's i really wanted a Saph cossie. I waited 10 years to get one and it didn't disappoint. Driving it home was something i'll remember for a long time - awesome!

Just over 10 years ago I remember going into a Volvo showroom and seeing a Volvo 850 R saloon and always saying to myself from then on that I wanted one. At the end of last year I managed to find a good condition low mileage one that met my criteria. Since then I have had it Rica re-mapped, to which I was blown away by the improvement in performance from an off the shelf remap, and I have many more plans for it in the pipeline. Now most would probably could call that strange or maybe something else. One thing I do know is I am very happy with it and its better than I imagined it to be.

10 years ago, i would be.. 10/11

Probably a ferrari of sorts. My love affair with RS's didnt start till a few years later. When i was 14, all i wanted was an Escort Cossie.

When i was 17 i wanted a red Escort RS Turbo, got it when i was 19, loved it for just less than a year and moved on.

Ill have another though

Wanted an RS500 Cossie in moonstone with a 550bhp engine, but alas I was young and stupid at 14

Lotus Carlton and twin engine Renault 5 Turbo were also on the list, so kind of got somewhere nearish.

back in 94 when i was 10 i was shopping at the big asda with my parents and we had had to park at the far end of the car park due to no spaces but when we came out some one had parked up in an escort cosworth near by i made my dad take me over and have a walk around it as i didn't know what it was wanted one ever since but now i think i'd rather have an evo or a m3
