Default My beloved ex-sapphire

This is the one that got away.. I really LOVED this car to bits, but sold it to buy an esc cos, my biggest misstake ever. The car lived on for a couple of years til it met it`s doom by a drunken driver.
Anyway a couple of pics from when I had it:







and the esc cos that replaced it:



Due to my love for the sapph I desided to get another sierra and got this:

That looked a lovely saff, isn't a nightmare when you sell a nice car for something you think is going to be better then bloody regret it...

Atleast now you have the 3dr.............

Word! that desicion has been bugging me for years! still love the looks of a good esc cos, but personally I never liked it at all. Actually I liked the sapp better than the 3door aswell, but current mods should compensate at least

It's crazy really, i've had 2 Evos, one of them a lovely Tommi Mak, 3 dr, Subarus and yet this is my first saff and i love it ..

A 17 year old car, but gives me a great buzz like no other...

Thanks guys!

The stuff I did`nt like about the esc cos was, the seatingposition, feels like VW golf. The interior is extremely plasty and seems squeeky and loose. The gear-ratios of the original box is useless.. boring to drive (with 346bhp), pain to work on compared to sierra. Just my two cents

Staffi, know what you mean, there is just something about a good sapph! think compared to the 3door it might be down to the stiffness of the shell and casterangle that makes it more stable at high speed.

Yes i hear what you're saying, i used to get sweaty palms over 140mph in the 3dr.. saff is more stable, gives you more confidence..
