Rod-Tarry

Its statements like that that annoy me, you dont pull 0-200 in 24secs in anything thats not bolted together properly. The detail in my car is second to none & i resent people who have never seen it perform making such comments. It would destroy that Zonda down Brunters & you dont do that unless a lot of time & effort has been put into it .

A 350bhp cossie is great fun , might not be the best car on the rd anymore but it still puts a smile on my face

For me it's pulling up at a set of lights etc next to a CLIO182 etc etc car, who thinks he's going to beat you, and your old car then he's gets thrashed, he wouldn't even think that if it was a maccy F1 next to him thier faces are priceless, I rather have a maccy f1 than a badged up skoda veyron anyday.

Just because there are better cars doesn't mean you can't appreciate the cossie. Like lambchop says, they are addictive.

More to the point, petrol heads can afford them and don't need to be millionaires to do so - council estate supercar

or shall i save a bit more

You'll maybe find one at that price mate but you'll spend that again and end up regretting it. I'd hold out and spend a bit more for a good one. Unless of course you get a proper bargain and find a decent one for Ł3k. Chances are slim though i'd say

Spend abit more and buy a decent one for Ł5k ish otherwise it will get expensive. There's plenty out there for that kinda money so you'll have abit of choice with 5k but do your homework, theres alot of overpriced ones about.

johnandhissaffy

iTrader: (1)

what sort of money do they go for and what do i look for when veiwing one any help would be really needed as will be my 1st cossy cheers

johnandhissaffy

iTrader: (1)

i only want 1 that has almost standard hp for now then id put wrc headgasket on arp head bolts run it about 1.5 bar or so

Saaamon

iTrader: (2)

Rust is the biggest problem, once they start rotting it can get expensive so its best to make sure the body is good first. You'll be hard pushed to get one with standard HP but there lots out there with stage 1, just make sure its got plenty of history with it and has generally been looked after. If you turn up and it looks bit dirty, tyres look nackered etc i'd personally walk away because to me that would indicate that either their not bothered to much about the car or havn't be prepared to spend the money to look after it.

johnandhissaffy

iTrader: (1)

yeah i now about all the if you go there and its hot walk away and the rust problem aint much of a problem as i have a spanking rust free shell i runn around in at the mo what shall i look for like sounds and making sure the history adds up to the car and when someone says its got this and hasnt how will i know if its a dog coz i no that its 20 years old and will most probley have 100,000+ miles on and be bodged but its only going to be a summer car as im still young i aint to bothered but i have a budget and ill get one but for they money i have i really dont want to be mugged off i you know what i mean im no rich boy but i have a dream and that dream might only be worth about maximum 4 grand if im really lucky cheers

Cossies arnt the best car in the world.They are a good fun car which are a legend.I hate it when people slate them cause they arnt that bad.Also i hate it when people try and compare them to a evo or a impreza.They are old cars built with old technology.Long live the cossie.

that's why i love them the smile it puts on my face the joy i have when im a passenger is nothing like iv had in any other car and iv been in a few now and driven some that have way more bhp i will have one i might not even like it but i WILL 100% HAVE ONE

Agree with you 100% there mate. A lot of people buy cossies, neglect them, skimp on the bits that need doing, use the cheapest, wankiest quality parts known to man and then bitch and moan about them being unreliable old crap.

I get a few people that I know that take the piss out of me for doing a lot of things on my cossie which, in their eyes, doesn't improve performance. I like my car to have the best bits on it that I can afford.

For me its all about the under dog, dont get me wrong would love to own a ferrari, porsche etc but nothing puts a grin on my face more than killing one in something you'd never expect to keep up.

Ive driven loads of cars and i can safely say my cssie is the only car ive drven that puts a smile on your face eceryday.I drove Wennys and Blackys Royal Nail van and i loved that too.I miss there van loads.

I wouldn't put it the way you put it, as I don't think Rod is legendary at all. However, I would choose to go in his car over a Zonda everytime. You might think the Zonda is more special, and so do I in some ways but in a lot of ways I'd rather go in the Saph.

I'd be pissed if it broke down on us though, and the Zonda drove past.

Keep saving mate, the first time i ever went in a cossie was when i bought mine, first time i drove one was after it had been sat in my garage 5 months waiting for my next years NCB to clear.

At 12.00 on a thursday night i was out of my gate and down the road, will never forget the day.
I had always wanted one, and the feeling was amazing.
But then, i just don't do supercars, dad had a 360 modena challenge for a week (won it for a week at the autosport show), i went in it once and fooking hated it, the attention was just stupid, people would come up to the windows while in traffic and stare in at you, i cant be doing with that, with the cossie, you get a few people giving an admiring glance or a nod of the head.
And the cossie would of been all over the prancing donkey untill 120mph

phil robson

nowt wrong with wanting a cossie, pisses me off when people on here slag them off, why bother coming on at all, driving one always puts a smile on my face and i think thats what its all about
