What's it all about. I sold my 3 door a few months back (no regrets) but still seem to keep looking at them and I do actually feel I would buy something if it was right.

 

There great cars! Look good go ok can be made to go really really well. Cult following hold there value. There rwd old school what's not to like if your into them lol

 

I got it bad. I've had mine 8 years and it's the longest I've ever owned a car, normally cars stay for 3 months max! I haven't got much money to spend on it but I know it's there in the garage

 

Makes 2 of us i get bored quick had new and old cars they only ever last a few months then gone but my cossie had 5years

 

I lost the love for the 3 door because of values I wanted it to be 100% and that started to do my head in. I have a q plate escort cossie rolling shell that I still think of building as all along even when I bought the 3 door I wanted a cossie that I could abuse on track days etc.

 

that didnt take long rich


as i said you would be back before long ,their in the blood mate

 

I sold my car as I'd had enough.

Lasted 36 hours & I had another.

 

Cant beat a good old cossie.

Ive had mine over 9 years now and its not going anywhere. Even the wife has said she wouldnt want me to sell it. She even said its part of the family now.

Theres no point in having a minty mint cossie cause you get to the point where you darent use them.

 

Thier legendary was in thier time thundering through the stages and around the tracks and they still rock today which other 80/90's cars do this?

 

Been out in mine today.

Got plenty of looks, smiles & a thumbs up!

 

Lol , that lasted long

I have a nice white 3 door you can buy

Cheers

John

 

It's having the time with a resto that done my head in much the same as you John.

Your not selling your white one already or do you have a red one near buy

 

Must admit im over the Cossie thing. I wont be buying another that's for sure. I was into speed but nobody else is these days so there was no challenge nothing to go for once Martin got over Cosworths.
When I first came on this site there were two things that were mega cool Mike Rainbirds hair & Topspeed running. Shall we say they both no longer exist .

 

Have you still got yours?

 

Mine always gets looked at too when im out in it.

 

Even so rod yours still gets more looks than a fit bird lol and sounds like a fooking jet taking off coming on boost going up the ring road even from the other side of Basingstoke! And the old girl didnt do to bad when it was on the road as you never met anything that could even nearly live with it on the road! So it still did what it needed to do even being 20+ years out of date so don't knock it too hard

 

They are old, shit and over priced but I still love em

 

We are talking about getting over the Cossie bug Andy not knocking what one can achieve. I have only ever seen a Cossie as a means of going very fast not the- it must be standard, never been driven & everybody looks at it so it must be fast
brigade that are the present generation. Elsewhere Topspeed running is incredibly popular 100's doing it yet a Marque that likes to think its cars are fast are shit scared cowardy custards & that's being polite.

 

I just like the way some people describe some modern cars as "Cossie killers" but yet they forget cossies are from the 80s lol

 

My thoughts exactly. It's the adrenaline for me as they are old school and feel like there gonna kill you when you bury the throttle.

 

Lol this is so true. Took mine to Rsoc meet the other night and when it came on full boost it didn't feel overly safe after driving modern cars about lol, I'm thinking what's gonna fall off at 130mph down the bypass :-(
