After mine being sat dormant since Croft in June and failing MOT in July on welding I finally had enough of walkin past it every day and decided it was time for her to go. A mate has been interested in it for ages and came for a look at it a few weeks ago, agreed a price and he went away to sell some of his stuff to buy my car. Now 4 weeks later and no word or mention I thought fuck it Ill charge the battery and start her up. Bloody thing started half a turn of the key with no taps or noises and just sat gurgling at me, my heart melted
I then decided to run it round the block just to free brakes off etc.

Having done that I came home I proceeded to book it into my mates garage to get its weding done and some new brake pipes and fuel lines.

Dammit Im keeping it again now. Why are they so bloody addictive????

 

haha love it!!

it wont take much to weld it and sort it surely, so keep it and bring her back to life

p.s get some pics up!!

x

 

The Cosworth love is very addictive

 

You'll need to get one of them job things to pay for it

 

because us cosworth owners have no life!its not the car its just the fact we have nothing else!

































or is this just me

 

Tell me about it, i wish i could just sell them and be done with it!
2WD is up for sale, already changed my mind once, and it looks like i'm just going to keep it because I'm not sure i should really part with it, and I'm tired of getting asked silly q's, I'd rather people just come and see the car for themselves.

 

yep it's just you

 

thank you for confirming this

 

It obviously didnt want to be sold then lol.

 

Caz theres pics of it knockin about somewhere, I dont have any to hand.

Anna

Doug..... yes its just you mate

Kev they are like bad smells, they just wont go away.

 

Just like a drug lol

Steve

 

i'm just looking forward for the snow to land.......4x4 driffting........lol

 

I knew you wouldnt get rid of it ian, and if you did, you WOULD have bought another one

 

Fiddy I know I would have ended up with another eventually. Was just hoping I had them out of my system for the time being. How wrong I was. I would have been fine if I never had to to hear, see or drive one again.

 

You got yours back then? Or are we talking about the snow..... Xmas 2010?

 

Na hes probably bought a Pajero or somethin

 

 

Correct. It's a fucking terrible affliction

 

.....fuck off or i'll smash ur milk float up...............and NO i havnt got it back yet

 

where is it?

 

Ha Ha quality Ian, just get the welding done properly not just patched over so it wont need doing again in a years time.
Bit like mine ive left her in the garage for about 3 months now due to the winter and clutch needing to be done, i must admit the selling thought come into my head but when i started her up in the garage and it sat there bellowing back at me i had to take it out for a quick drive then washed and polished it, bloody cossies they get into your blood.

 

hopefully with some one sorting the bloody thing out lol, i run more often than your car lol.

 

....the Diva's........

 

Who?Where?why?

 

...err "the diva" off here....the mod..............liverpool.......electric problem that i've had for years......

 

Wicked story mate i know what you mean sometimes i think f#ck it im selling and then i lift the cover off and start her up and its all over if its that moonstone one mate its lovely and glad your keeping her

Tony

 

why not at your beloved grove

 

....cos liverpool's closer.....my car gets tuned at grove fella......not maintained....would be a bit of a "chew on" doing a 560mile round trip for a service......

 

But a 320 mile round trip is perfectly acceptable

 

true!surely your cars problem is the old loom!

 

Ern,

I,ve sold 3 stunning cossies on the past AND i,ve always come back, you could say i must be fooking nuts :cry; but truth is, imo anyway, nothing gives you the buzz of a cossie when they,re all mapped/ working properly...

 

....no mate....that's in my shed.....

 

....if it sorts out a problem no one up here can fix.....then YES...............

 

For the wiring problem i agree pal, but you said a service sheehan, so yet again

 

dodgy chip?loose connection in the ecu?changed all sensors?

 

....i was just refuring to the fact that i dont use "grove" for day to day stuff........u pedantic twat....

 

doug fella.......everything anyone can say has been checked/changed.....the car needs to be plugged into a laptop and monitored in real time so when the fault happens it can be logged/fixed.....the cars been in different garages and auto electricians to no avail..........Rob (the diva) will sort it as he has "the technology"......(mind u it would have been quicker to take it to london as he's had it for a month......)

 

Paul. They are bloody addictive and like a feckin disease.

Tony. Mines Mercury mate, I wrote my Moonstone one off a few year back.

Pete. This is my 4th Cossie. I just cant help but keep coming back to them.

 

its definatley a love hate relaitionship ,i love mine and the only thing i hate about it is the tanker you need behind you when it does come out between march and september


cheers james

 

Ive been called a lot of things pete, but pedantic's a new one.
