I know we've had some differences of opinion over the years but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Glad you escaped unscathed and best of luck with the replacement and your future plans with it.

Not exactly how I planned I'd get one, a little sooner then I thought, but hey, that's fu*ked up fate innit 
I found out today where there is an Escort Cossie for sales Ash Black 20,000 miles, owned by a service manager at a Ford dealership, no idea on price or anything but if your interested PM me and I'll pass on what I know

All the people who've said on this thread, cossie will ease the pain...
You all engaging your brains before you typing?
The guy has just lost his car and not simply because of a blown engine or he flipped it being a knob, it set itself alight whilst he was in it and having to be pulled away from it and watching all his hard work and money go up in flames literally. Then having to look at it in the state its in knowing its all gone and it just cannot be retrieved again!
No other car even if it was a Enzo or Murcielago would come close to the amount he put into that car. It just wouldnt be the same again.
Again, really really cruel and hard thing to have happen to you and witness at the same time

I appreciate the sympathy, and your right, watching go from a little fag lighter flame to a great big bomb fire in a matter of minutes, helpless to to stop it, was probably one of the worst moments of my life.
But an Escort Cosworth will ease a lot of the pain. Although I wasn't exactly finished with the focus i.e. finally happy with all of it and now starting to really enjoy it, I guess my Cossie plans will just have to come sooner rather than later.
I miss the focus so much, but then again, I'm glad some dissrespectful little chav won't get his hands on it now...
R.I.P. BABY!!!

The most important thing is that your in one piece, a car is a piece of metal ( although i know it feels like a lot more than that ) but it can be replaced, you cant at the end of the day.
Id be devastated if that happened to my car, but onwards and upwards

Was proper shocked seeing this was only a few days ago i read your resto thread. Feel for you pal looks like you put a hell of alot of work into it.
But if you can turn a 1.4 focus into what it was im sure your gonna have a wicked ecos one day.
