What's wrong with that?

I think the car's quite nicely done, and if I was advertising it, I'd put Cosworth replica in the advert too.

Sorry - don't see what you're laughing about..........

I agree with Pon! I think alot of effort has gone into the car and its certainly different with all the smoothing etc..

its not my cup of tea, but with a decent engine in that'd make for a nice car!!

Aye it may be nicely done but how can you agree with it being a Cosworth replica? It's not even the right shape to be a Cossie rep!

Sometimes, I give up with you people!

Anyway take a look at the interior on this car:

Did they actually come from Ford looking like that? If you tell me you like that I'll eat my socks!

Yeah, so it's a Mk6, and they didn't make it a Mk6 Cosworth.......... who cares?

It appears to be a nice car, but with Cosworth arches and rear spoiler, what you gonna advertise it as? Just an Escort 1.4?

Good luck to the kid with the sale - too many people ready to put people down for trying to sell their car...........

I see your point Pon, but I still think he's an idiot to call it a Cossie rep. Should have left it at Ford Escort Modified IMO.

Anyways, I've had enough of being made to look stupid for one day....

And you can piss right off Chipper!!
