You'll get the enthusiasm back, get someone to take you out in theirs and you'll be itching to get down to your garage after that.
Mines dne about 500 miles since 2006 but I fully intend to right that by the end of the month, I have no choice in a way so it's a good kick up the arse!

Number of times I've come close to breaking my S2. Then I drive it and fall in love again. Get out there and put some miles on it as soon as the sun comes out properly

I'm the same with mine, every year I say to myself "I will just get this and that done ready for the summer" and before I know it the summer is over and it's still has'nt mooved from the position it was in a year earlier, I don't seem to get the time other things always seem to get priority.

I will pop down to your house and i will take it out for you mr. I think people buy these old fords and then get scared to drive them in case anything goes wrong. Just get it used. I know a friend of mine has loads of fords. He has a S1 turbo and a saff cossie sat on his drive. They never move and are just posh ornaments i think sometimes its more of a bragging thing.

Im exactly the same

sadly the cossie scene just isnt the same these days and i keep thinking about selling all mine

im finding it very very hard to think of any reasons NOT to sell them and go further into the bike scene

Very sad realy as the Ford RS has been a big part of my life for so long but i just dont feel the same anymore

Just drive it you ponse! Unless you have a genuine reason not to be bothered with it i.e. its broken! Then you really have no excuse not to enjoy it. Plenty of fast cars out there, but Cossie's and generally a good fast Ford is a real drivers experience. Nothing gives you as many shits n' giggles

I'd defo be out in that, even if you don't feel like giving it stress... as long as it's a nice day, I'd open the sunroof, get some tunes on and take it for a drive.


Cheers,
Grant

I have a rs2000 and it's so much easier to just get into and drive with no worries. Thing is even that is starting to causing a hole in my bank with treating it like the cosworth.......

fooking ford RS ...like women ,can't live with them and can't live without them
