i love modded escossies, but it pisses me off that theres loads out there with bits and bobs done to them, which wouldnt bother if you modified them more. jus leave the standard 1's alone! please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

most escort cossie's have got upgraded parts,
why not upgrade for better parts like brakes, suspension etc.
do we need to ask for peoples opinions now if we want to make our cars better.
if you want a totally standard model why dont you go and buy 1 and keep it that way? then other peoples cars wont bother you so much

So all being well next visit will be to try and get the brake lines and get them fitted, gota ring about my fuel cell so it can be sorted... if i can get the engine back in too that would be good great... So hopefully within the next week should not be too far off... Wings still not here just yet so waiting on them a touch too.
