See the light now


Glad you enjoyed the drive

 

GO AWAY

Thanks for giving me the keys yes i have seen the light. An evo does everything a cossie will do only does it better. Loved driving your evo home tonight. thanks mate. Am just on MLR now looking at evos for sale and the thread Warren started for me. Bigish spec saff breaking very soon

 

SHEEP.................

 

Nope not sheep Pete - just slowly realising there are better performance cars in the same price bracket than a 20 year old cosworth

 

evos are just big computers


cheers james

 

Yep, have to agree there Rich, if circumstances would of been different i would still have the 8 MR Sheady built for me... stunning that was....480bhp /446ft/lb Autronic Anti-lag, spent a fortune on that too...nevermind..

I,d still like another tbh Rich, i fancy a 9 GT, or a 9 MR RS but they,re HUGE money..

I,d NOT sell my cossie though, i,ve had 4 Evos and still come back to Cossies... mind you, that,s probably my age, brain fade Rich...

 

Oh but Dave and Rich dont evos drive themselves and are boring and not fun etc etc etc....


Quite sure a lot of people have been advising both of you for so long to move on!

 

Hold on a min you can't compare a 19 year old car to 2000 technology. Of course the evo is better it's up to date technology etc, but people on here compare evo's 6/7/8 an tbh There only better looking on the out side/inside, plus cosworth is 6/7/8 money now well in Ireland it is away!

 

Remember i have first dibs on the diff

Steve

 

Evo's and subaru's are like arse hole's mate! (everyone's got one)

 

No idea - have never held that opinion of Evo's

 

Is your for sale post written out Rich ?

Was good to see you last night

 

Rich
Surely a 20 year old Ford that goes wrong every week & handles like a cart load of dung is better than a EVO that handles like a rally car & you can use reliably every day. I think you are being very blinkered

 

Lol at Helen and Rod.

No the breaking thread is not written yet

Rod- thanks for dinner old bean

 

i have to say dave's motor is very impressive for an out of the box car, other than the speedo being very titchy, the rest of the car was very very good, seats, looks, space, the way it just goes on and on accelerating wihtout pause, everyting

although i will say that it seemed very cold and calulating, and, thinking about it on the way home, it was like arnie's terminator vs meichael beins kyle reece

and thanks for the free grub, whoever paid for it, the burger was very very nice

if you are breaking the saph, how much you want for the wheels mate

 

another one bites the dust. This is why i think the ford shows and rs shows are slowly dying cause everyone is moving to other cars.

 

it is a very nice car though

 

as one leaves glenny ,another one comes back


cheers james

 

Another has NOT bitten the dust yet. Its only a maybe at the moment. I have a child on the way (Due June) so that has ot come 1st

 

Great cars, far more capable than an old ford sierra, but I still think you should keep yours Rich, far more to it than just what is fastest round a track, your car has far more character (and faults probably, lol) than an Evo.

Keep the saph I reckon

 

Well i hope so but you here more about people getting other brands of cars than people coming back to fords and cossies. I dont know how people can compare a old cossie with a evo that has all the technology on it.

 

rich its all in the name passion ford,well obviously your not. amazing some people defend the ford name and then can instantly change thier opinion

 

Your only just realising that now?!

We all know there are 'better' cars out there, thats a fact, but you can't deny the specialness of a cossie - now put your blinkers back on please

We still have the saph


l would of bought a Focus RS But at 30k new no chance, they will be worth 20k in a year or so

This way we have a RS, EVO9 and Clio Cup 172

So a bit of everything

 

Perfect garage there Dave & Helen

Z

 

dave how much do you think you will spend on it. Are you gonna try and hit silly speeds with this car too.

 

Good morning young tarquin.

Bit early in the day for a spot of fishing isnt it?

 

Top speed run are all over now, will mod the evo but no more than 500bhp more like 450bhp

 

450-500bhp evo is a good place to be.

 

have not instantly changed my opinion James. Its been brewing for a while

 

early worm cippers. have been up since 5 am
just hope people dont influence others just cos they have a different car
cossies are a love hate relationship. i was losing interest in mine but as went in the fastest cossie in the world [THE Q,s] it has rekindled my PASSION for them

also look richard i can do smilies now

 

there is nothing too compare. Its night and day difference as you would expect. You cant compare the 2. after 8 years of cosworth ownership i can feel the tide shifting towards jap

 

well its not in your blood then

 

"EvoRich"

Nah, doesnt even have the right ring to it.

If you buy an evo, im going to start calling you "Richard"

 

what isnt in my blood? Havent you got some polishing or diamond cutting to do Tarquin?

 

TheQ taught the stig everything he knows

He was looking pretty hungry at middlesex RS last night, looked like he hadnt eaten for about an hour

 

NO

 

The love and passion for cossies, the jap is just a faze your going through

 

Have you read my thread in the resto/projects room? How can you say i dont have
the love or passion for cossies after all the shit with mine

 

Well fucking keep it then
