Yeh my saff gets looks all the time.Its properly down to the ugly looking ball bag driving it.
I can remember one time when i was on the dual carrageway in my town and i pulled up at a set of lights next to a brand new a Audi A5.There was a young couple pushing a pram and i heard the lad say to his mrs"I want that car there"she said "what the Audi" and he said "no the cossie.Thats mint".

I personally don't think my Cossie turns that many heads,until you go in my Anglia or my dads 32 coupe....cossies look fuck all compared to hot rods with 6+litre v8s etc
Although I'm a cossie fan it's just my opinion

Had a series 2 RS Turbo,that always got people commenting at how nice it was even a middle aged guy with an STI Impreza @ a Shell garage while paying for fuel which i thought was good,now i have a Saph i often get "look Cossie,nice car etc",what makes me laugh is the amount of people who have no idea what power they run standard,speed ect.One lad was trying tell me they should have twin turbos as standard and surprizing how many people claim to have had them even when they dont know first thing about them.Always got time to chat to a genuine enthusiast though.

My s1 got called a cossy by some youths and had a strange guy standing outside my drive, I asked him if I could help him and the reply was no just admiring the escorts as it's lovely so I'd say yes and old ford turns heads

Is this even a serious question.
Im a 21 year old and bought my 3 door Cosworth when i was 20. Truthfully, i love the attention it brings. Everyone appreciates a good Cosworth. Im a fan just as much as im an owner.

Had a crowd of 18 year olds drooling over my 3dr when I had to pop up to my lad's college one day. Every one of them knew exactly what it was and wanted to know more.
Had a guy in a van taking pics of the car while I was in a traffic jam coming back from Bournemouth one day a year or two back.
Coolest thing happened on the way to Ford Fair two years ago. Tootling along in the inside lane at 70 when I noticed an F40 coming up the outside lane at a rate of knots. They guy slowed right down to 70 as he caught up with me, pulled into the middle lane alongside me for a few hundred yards, looked the car over, gave me the thumbs up
, then disappeared into the distance.
So I'd say yes, the cars DO still turn heads, especially those who know something about cars
