Very very nice. It's been quite a while since I've seen a Cossie on the road. Infact ordinary Sierras are very very thin on the ground now.

Every now and then, I get to spy an Escort Cosworth in a garage near me. It must be years since it was on the road, cos until I saw it a few months ago, I'd assumed it must've been sold.

I think a lot of them have also met their fate at the hands of the 'Lotus 7' kit car builders

Go to the two videos at the bottom of the page, if only I had the money/wish to burn rubber like that!  ;D   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

A neighbour used to have one. A condition of the insurance was that it had to be garaged over night, unfortunately there wasn't room for a garage. The Insurance co were happy though for him to fit a garage door to the front of his carport  :-?  ;D  ;D  ;D and that's where it was 'garaged' over night  :y  :y

This is similar to one I once saw and wanted.  This may actually be the same car.



Stuffed full of nitrous'd Chevy V8 350

Remember a time of 9.7 @ 135 mph in full street trim at Santa Pod.  But ran faster than that on different tyres.
