Default Well, she may be going on Friday-UPDATED-SHE IS STAYING

The 3DR may be going up North on friday as someone is coming to look at her

It will be a VERY sad day as i genuinely love the car but i just dont use it as much as i should.

Now, what cars are about for a bit of fun

As long as you dont cry we'll be OK Anything RWD and costs less than Ł3K will be fine. Whats to say you'd use an Escos anymore than the 3dr?

DONT DO IT TIFF !!

Escort Cosworths look nice but they arent that practical when it comes to going out with your mates, there isnt alot of room in the back of the old Escort Cossies for grown ups and kids just kick the back of your seat, after having 2 and then going onto the 500 then 3 doors they are sooo much more spacious, bigger boot, more leg room in the back. Excellent for going on holiday.

As for not using it... we get out there and drive the thing ye gurl !!


OR is this just to hide the fact you cant drive RWD and the car scares you so you want the comfort of 4x4...

And Me

Neil

tbh mate i am not OVER keen on an Escort, i will have a look at some i think and go from there. But it is not a car that i say" I WILL HAVE ONE"

I know i will regret it if i sell it, thats why if it doesnt go for the money i want then i am not fussed.

The guy seems a Genuinly nice guy who is into the RS scene so it is not like some Jumped-up kid will own it---Thank God

That plays a VERY big part in it i think mate.

The night that i topped my points upto 9 was a bit of a turning point as it went up for sale within about 2 hours of the points being dished out, then i changed my mind.

But since then i have used it to go for its MOT and when i got married last month i used it as my wedding car ........THATS IT IN 2 MONTHS

i sooooo understand about the points thing, all mine no longer count from feb but it makes ya think alot and ya tend to slow down alot more, i nolonger always try for the top speeds in my cars when just driving and tend to get to a speed then just slow back down to 90

i had the 1300 when i got me licence back for the first year as i knew that if i had a real car i would sooo easy lose it

changed my driving and slowed me down too

as for the not using it, thats why im rebuilding the cossie now as ive used the cossie 5 times since feb

i was using it once a month for the passionford meet and when the fooker never wanted to start i thought, bollocks start to strip it and decide what i wanna do

as for the Audi, tiff ya soooo know it makes sence, why fook about nwith a shitty escos when a Audi wont get ya soo much attention and there sooo much nicer too

whats the power and torque of the RS6 ????
