Default Keeping the Cossie

I've been toying with the idea of selling the Escos as i was offered a Focus RS with 3k on the clock for good money, then thought of the new ST.

Forget it!!!

Have just watched on the telly the bold Jeremy Clarkson driving his old Escort Cosworth (K38 FMC) round the twisties and after hearing him say that its one of the greatest ever cars and one of his all time favourites i think i'll keep her. His was petrol blue aswell-its a sign lol

Thank god that decisions made, was having trouble sleeping.

In all fairness you could be right. Very similar in certain lights.

Except under white lights at night. Mine is closer to pacifica blue at the petrol station at night. Looks well smart.

Won't be missing this one. I'll bring the Escos and the saff will be out even though its just been painted. Might even have a play in it as its going in to AVA to get serviced next week. As you said will be good to catch up.

Dave did you ever get your rocker cover back from AVA? Have you still got the S1? If you have bring it along as i've still not seen it. If you'd prefer to have a drink i can get Astyn to test drive the 5hit out of it for you
