M.A.D.RST

If you had not bought your escort when you did, and had not spent all of the money on it that you have done!

Do you think you would buy an escort cosworth now????

If not what would you buy??

Holty

Always wanted an EsCos from day one just couldn't afford it so played with rst's till could.

Aimed to have one by 25 got it now at 23

EvilFranky

Aimed to get one at 25 aswell, but with their current prices and house prices being the way they are i'm starting to doubt it

cossieracer

loooooove my escort cossie would never sell it, been thru alot together, my soul mate

GARETH T

would have no problem in buying another

think they are great,,,

wighthot

If i didn't have the cossie i would have probably bought some sort of porsche 911

M.A.D.RST

Fair play, do you miss the rst's? Ive just sold mine ready to buy an escort cosworth.

Cam

I bought one new back in '92 then sold it in '95 and promised myself I would have another. Took me 9 years to keep the promise but I wouldn't part with my latest EsCos for any money.

Gaaables

i miss my old rst, but the escort cos is sooo much more car, comfy, smooth and rapid.

aimed to get 1 by the time i was 23, got it at 21

you bunch of c*nts

im jellous!!

i want a cossie, im 23, so how the fuckinghell do you lot afford bastard cossies!!!

Fozy

loved the car from the launch when i was 12 at the lauch. 11 years later and 2 years of owning my baby i have no regrets. I would have always bought an escort cosworth coz in my eyes there is nothing out there to beat the looks and appeal. a dream come true

Glad the ex didn't make me sell it as part of me buying her out of the house

Dunccoss

Had mine for over 5 years, spent loads on it, but love it but when i sell it i will probley get a noble 400 (M 12 ) or 911 GT2, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE FASTER THAN THE ESCORT, and that is where the problem starts because i would have to spend alot of money to get the same perforamce i have in the escort let alone be quicker, i dont think i would sell the escort to get a evo, skyline, ect it would have to be a bit more special than that.

Holty

M.A.D.RST, as Gaaables, said as soon as you drive an EsCos you notice the different.

Higher quality of car and more pleasing to drive than the turbos

Doors don't try to pull open at the top at 100mph +

are you lot a bunch of bad ass pimps or something???

or do you have 20k loans???????

Fozy

just hunted for the bargain. Waited for ages for the right car. Ł12300 for a tidy monte carlo edition 2 years ago. Spent a lot since, magnesium wheels, coilovers.

(BLACK DRAGON)

Considered selling mine recently as buying a house - - - - - NOT!!!

Even with the headaches she sometimes gives me i wouldn't sell her for anything. Recently considered a skyline but then two identical white ones showed up at one of the cruises i was at. There was only one Esc Cos there - mine!

Jon(m600)

Sold my old escos over a year ago regretted it straight away so the search was on managed to buy the car that really got me into them M600 BHP used to have a poster of the car on my bedroom wall

Azrael

If I did not buy an Escort Cosworth I would buy Subaru Impreza GT'99 and tweak it a little for my needs. Probably more sensible idea, but I live to drive an Escos when it is able to drive without something to tow it :-/

(BLACK DRAGON)

Jon (m600) looks like your car wish list is sorted for life. Can't think what you would ever get to top that beast

Im glad i bought mine But it is a pain in the arse somtimes
wanted one since i was 11 and promised my self one for my 21st birthday and got it a year early

iTrader: (5)

only had mine about 3 weeks.

Got all the mods i wanted on it,big turbo,injec,wheels,brakes etc....

Got it cheap of a mate who was unsure about selling,once i got paid out on the saff after an accident,i waved the money.

Well worth the money i paid.

Did have my heart set on a escort though after having 3 saffs and i finally got one.

No other car has really tempted me,except for an evo or a new scooby sti.

these cars are not special enough though to me and i am a ford man through and through.

Jon(m600)

Thats how i feel Black dragon One of my fave cars from back in the day

had the escos 4yrs now.always been a german car freak had a brand new s1 then a new s2 i had so much trouble with the s2 so went back to golfs then porsches but have so much affection for the mk1 golf gti .didnt go near a ford until i was invited on a track day with a mate and his escos .had to have one after that.recently done the same with a noble gto3r.its atough call but i think the cos will have to go to make way for a noble.cant afford both

Gaaables

bought mine as a rolling shell, managed 2 get all the bits cheap including a pukka lump and asltogether cost around Ł8.5k

Redkop

Had mine 4˝ years now and wouldn't dream of selling it

Paul

I'm in 2 minds as next year i'm after a new car I've always wanted a Escort Cossie, but as they are getting older now and the prices seem to be high still.
Is it worth going for a Subaru Type R version 6 as even as std they are quick and newer but i dunno what to do

dave green

had mine over four years now, dont regret buying it and have no plans to sell it at the noment, . Still love it

markcoznottz

Jon im lookin at your car on my bedroom wall right now,the poster is still here after all these years!. Fast Ford march 1998 it says. It was cars like yours that got me into cossies. I always wanted one, now iv got my own 350 bhp saph.Sorted!

Azrael

Great car. But must be rare even in UK?

Paul

well there are 5 pages full on autotrader is that saying summit The rare ones are the 22B's

Have u ever driven a Typre R Azrael?

AJ Escos

had mine for almost two years and i will NEVER sell it but it was bought as my toy, also thinkin of gettin' another one and havin' one standard and one nicely tuned

i've had mine now for nearly 2 years and i love it, there is no other car on the road today that has as much presence for the money you pay for them. Mine stands me a fortune since i bought it and i could have bought a nearly new M3 or something but these cars are special and once you own one, you will never look back

Azrael

Nope. Both that are here in Poland are worth shit, just pieces of junk. But friend of mine drove both of them, one fresh after buing converted to LHD by Prodrive and says it's much much better then normal Impreza GT. He's kind of guru on Subarus here so he knows what he's talking.

I would be happy to drive one that is not blown, and crashed few hundred times...

Jon(m600)

Cool Mark When i first got the car earlier in the year I went to my local Larkspeed to get some smoked back lights and there was the poster of my car on the wall behind the counter was well wierd

Paul Eggleton

Had mine just over the year now, and even though I've got a long drive to work and the choice to take a more economical diesel, I just can't help pick up the keys to the cossie. I haven't spent too much on mine, but I have yet to start doing engine mods Love it

GMRJJEscos

I've had mine 5 and a half years, always wanted one, so I saved up and bought it. Sold my house at the beginning of the year so I could keep the car (priorities)

Wazzzer

I'd love an Imperial or Pacifica Blue Esc Cos but I don't think I'm EVER going to be able to afford one, might have to go for a rep or something in a few years

john

Scooby type r's v 6 is way more than an escort cossie at the minute m8. My m8 recently sold his for near on 20 k i think. Amazing car though

Azrael

Depends on spec of both And there are lot more differences. People form Subaru Driving School (www.sjs.pl) say mine is much more fun to drive
