Default whats your favourite cossie?

just wondered what your favourite cossie`s are?

for me it has to be the first incarnation of the Ruud Racing cossie when it was flint grey

http://uk.youtube.com/results?search...rch_type=&aq=f

or just for watching pleasure, Christian Rigoulett in his 3dr rallycar with WILD antilag!!

http://uk.youtube.com/results?search...rch_type=&aq=f

only posted links to jog memories of Ruud racing car.

im sure christians car doesnt ring any bells with some of you so theres the links to his absolutly feckin awesome car/driving!!

the origional Ruud car is the ultimate cossie for me without a doubt, even though i loved my last moonstone saff more than life itself (before i met my girlfriend )
will post pics of it later, T61, ext wastegate, 1000`s etc.

i hate my current cossie as its always fucked :'(

****tried modding title but couldnt? just post your favourite car!!****

Same as you, this 3dr is awesome http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=puzJHpR6xdc

Stian Hafsengens WRC Escort http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KYsahbMCGdY

Martin Hadlands new Escos for being so unique

There is a Saph I love, But I don't know much about it Its got morettes, its black, it had a black monte type alloys on and orange/red tiger stripes.. Think it was about 500bhp (maybe more), maybe more and it was from Norway Im sure?! Any ideas? I'm sure JB will know the one!

Laceys 3dr, totally unique and very well built

what is this time attack bollocks, theres a company over on the mlr that has been prepping evo time attack cars and the prices people have been spending are horrendous, you could buy a pukka rally car for what some people are spending on modified road cars

i see this type of thing all day every day.

so called specialist tuners charge silly amounts of cash to do simple jobs, we simply charge Ł35 hour no matter what car, what job! unles its a silly job like engine out of MR2 turbo, then we drop price rate as it is more than a simple remove/refit affair and take an average labour time and make parts as cheap as possible!
We do try to supply parts and labour to every customer as cheap as we possibly can, we WILL be cheaper than local "spacialists"

Sorry to moderators for explicit words but i need to say Subaru.........!

if you know who they are then you know who i`m talking about

we have built several full on track and rally spec cars to totaly demanding and customer decided/instructing specs with very narrow budgets, if your into rallying then do a search for "Chris Moore" again, maby this may help

i really loved the car to bits, bought a cheap mk5 cosworth shell cheap and decided to strip my saff to build big big power rwd escos.

stupid stupid little boy!

i hated the escort with a passion and wanted to kick it every time i had to look at it.

anyway, heres a few pics of my old beloved saff "Damien"

Second to mine, I have two favourites - my mates white Saff, and Turbosystem's Desert Storm - mainly because it's the same colour (minus the stickers!) as mine

My Old 304-R Rouse Sport the most pleasing and best point to point Cosworth i've ever own'd, it was a joy to drive without all the hassle of it being laggy and horrible to drive

As I'm a Saph fan I have to say Mad Rod's, the engineering and money that has gone into the car is second to none

Have to give my own car a mention too

My absolute favourite has to bet the Collins built, Vecta sponsered pre-production Black Escort Cossie I first saw at Ford Fair in 95' at Stanford Hall. Have pics which I will scan tommorow & post, but would love to see any pics if anyone has any???

Anyone else remember this car?
