It's never finished. With a Cosworth there is always something else to spend money on and it's usually thousands!!

Rod-Tarry

No point getting annoyed about them they are known not to tick to many boxes certainly far better cars out there.
Have respected the Cosworth badge & wtill do, its the only reason I would own a Ford. Should have sold mine 5 years ago so im a bit annoyed its still around but thats about it. Owned it 18 years now & its almost achieved everything i set out to do so I should praise it not get annoyed its been a great old banger.

Fair play Rod tbh I seen you posted it and dreaded reading what you may of put lol

Ticks all the boxes for me looks, practical , subtle, performance, comfy enough long journeys, nostalgia, respect from people who dont even like cars, but my pet hate is looking at my expensive oil outside the engine

Annoys me when I'm not in in my saff , and some prick wants to have a play in his scooby and I'm in my audi ��

Did you get your car back ok from the garage owners mate the other week.

The worry of it being stolen annoyed me. My fiesta is worth more and I leave that anywhere but wouldn't leave the Cossie anywhere even though it's a old sierra


Also people going on about how fast it is, and their mate had one which done 170 mph etc

boy-racer-1

The amount of people that want to stop and talk to you about one they or their mate had once and they go on talking for hours!

cossie891

iTrader: (1)

Yea man all back safe and sound That annoyed me as well

paul16v

People asking if its a real one, and them always going on to say how their uncle had 1.

Once had a lad tell me his 'uncle' had 1 of the old touring cars but repainted to look like a road car, couldn't take it far tho because if he stalled it FORD had to come out with a laptop and restart the car

There is always some one who's cousin/bro in law/neighbour/mate had one and was x ammount of power with a special secret squirel turbo and could only use it on the 32nd of octember for some special reason .

I never used to mind the odd comment when filling up with fuel.Is it real or I have not seen one of them for ages.What used to piss me off a bit was people asking why was it black ? ? .That was usualy from people who thought they knew some thing.

Jay,

iTrader: (1)

Nowt annoys me about them, simple really , if they annoy you you're owning the wrong car, i don't get it

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Cragrat

iTrader: (4)

I have matey.a couple of times but its mainly been pissin down every time I get chance

paalrosen

availability of parts,and most parts are in UK

there are many who refuse to shipp parts over seas.

Since Norway is not in EU it is customs on everything over £ 20

only 25%, it is theft
When you drive there is always an idiot at 18 who lies on the rear bumper, ready to race anytime.even in a golf disel

Mike1

Same here Staffi - only positive thoughts of mine. They really are a great sports saloon if maintained properly, I've tried the contemporaries and wouldn't swap
