Depends how much you have got to spend tho dont it??? Not everyone has the kind of money to spend on the others mentioned! Pound for pound the cosworth is still unbeatable to me!!

Passionford is community for people with an interest in Fords, not just people who own them!!

I'll likely never own a cossie again either. I like my creature comforts too much now.

I never said I wasnt interested in Fords - I love cossies, had 2 myself. I will also love them, and if I could justify having one as an out and out toy, then I'd have one, but I cant.

Besides, I am still a Ford owner - all be it a shonky P Reg Mondeo TD Estate

Your German cars won't have the character. No German car has the stigma of a Cosworth.

i said this only a few weeks ago but every now and then a cossie pops up that reminds me of an old one or matches my idea of the perfect saph and i get cravings like a friggin pregnant woman does .
Even tho i know 100% they will never be as reliable or comfortable or as my bm i still love em.

He's entered the third phase, denial!
