Red face Calling all Cossie owners

Just finished reading the August copy of TopGear magazine and there was a great article about the old fords and they all comment on how good all the Cosworths were over the years and they are now trying to do a census to work out how many of these great vehicles are still about.

Log onto www.topgear.com/extinctionwatch and let them know all about your loved Cossie.

They are looking for time-verified snaps of real Cosworths (Escorts, Sapphires or Sierras) so they can "create a cossie cenus and monitor the population"

So get yourself logged on and let them know that the Cossie is still alive and kicking.

i think time verified may have to be more than just a time/date in the corner, and possibly a daily newspaper in the photo etc, you can set the date/time on a digital camera to be anything you want which means the photo is hardly 'verified'
