I'm sorry but what a pair of clowns

lets rebuild the engine and then rag it up and down a mile stretch a few times and then just jump out and turn it of without letting the turbo cool down

they do have some cheek, they did so much more work to that car then they made out they did.
tbh i thought it looked better with the motorsport sticker and escos wheels but does look like a very nice saff for someone to buy

Lol you guys crack me up it's the first time anything like this is on tv and the first time anyone really takes a notice on the Sapph cos etc and everyone is cursing them I really enjoyed watching it and I think the end result was a really nice looking Sapph much better than what it looked like before. Looks like it was on greys too.

Fuck me i only asked what channel and time it was on and look what happened

Seriously though ive never been lucky enough to own a cossie yet so no expert about them but fuck i cant believe he used the old cam belt and spanked it up and down the strip and turned it straight off to name a couple of things,

Think the escos rims looked better and the 4 spoke rs rims imo

Thats not luck you need to own a cossie mate.

Its a carefully planned and very stupidly thought out excersize (sp) which can cost millions of pounds and ruin the economies of small urban and rural communities in the UK.

The is no luck in owning a cossie, only a lot of hope and prayer.

I agree , very rare to see a cossie on tv and then when we do its slated !!
Not everyone watching will be as clued up on them as everyone on here ! Still made a change from the usual stuff on the programme !

erm.......it's just TV, with loads of bits cut out and chopped about, don't take it so seriously people.

And it's funny how people where calling it a shed, but if it was their cossie, they would want mega bucks for it.

i know these cars are important to us ford fans, but it is just a sierra and for most people, all they will really know of these is some rusty old boat their uncle had when they were a kid and they will think 6 grand was mega money for a sierra, and there aren't many cars that are 20+ years old making the money that some people want for their fords, after all, they are just mass produced cars.

I'm sure he still has a shop round the back from where his shop used to be ? haven't been in there since i owned my RST years back, saw Steve the other day in the high street tho so i'm certian he still runs a shop (possibly the one on wheeler dealers)

Yeah speed shack had bits all over the place like a cave lol, I liked it tbh its funny to watch if you add up the man hours gone into it and calculate all the parts up yourself it works out that they didn't make money on it,
but its a tv prog and it makes us watch it and talk about it so its all good really.


WHATS WITH THE OLD OILY CAM BELT LOL FUCK THAT AFTER ALL THE MONEY GONE INTO THE ENGINE TOP END. .
Would have pissed myself if it snapped when they done the 0-60 sprint.
Ohh and no mention that the wheels had a refurb/new tyres, well they certainly didn't look like that at speed shack did they. ?
