Andi's Weekend In Pics (56k warning)

Syph · 26 Jul 2005 at 10:00

Some lovely cars there Andi. I'll have to keep a mate of mine away from this thread - he's just had to sell his ECos to a breaker for £8k

Long and unfortunate story.

P.S - before a don bans me for telling them to sod off and for perdsonal attacks....they started it so ban them too if you're gonna. I'm merely defending myself which in a country of free speach i am entitled to do.

True. Kind of.

They did start the personal attacks, but you invited them upon yourself.

Now, this country might be free speach (sic) but this forum is not. In future if you feel you're being attacked report it to a mod please.

I hope thats the childishness over and we can return to talking about the lovely pics posted earlier in this thread

The closest that I got to an escort cosworth was my RC car

er, sod off mooron..i know plenty about cars and in my opinion, which i am entitled to they look crap, nothing more to say really. Whale tails might have been fitted as standard, that dsoesnt make them any better - they still look ugly, out of place and chavved up!

Same goes to you, sod off!

You drive a diesel out of choice, you will never ever ever understand.

There are some truly awesome and lovely cars there. Nice pictures Andi - definitely an enthusiasts meet for proper petrolheads!

That must have been surreal going through the towns in convoy in those glorious machines.

Ooh about the only Fords worth buying are the "old skool" Cossies / RS Turbo's. (Sorry Fox

)

A lurker and mate of mine round here who goes by the name "Trox" use to have a very nice Escort Cossie for his weekend car and a RS Turbo for generic use.... bas!

I'll point him at this thread when he gets home from work me thinks!

I saw the first white Fiesta RST going through preston on sunday. I thought it looked well mint. Might have to find me a little weekend project now.

Looks like a good time was had by all.

Ste

Blimey, what are the chances of that. About 4-4:30? We were probably on our way home from this meet then.

The convoy was fantastic, through the town centre everybody turned to look, was brilliant, passed a learner driver at a roundabout, his face was priceless

Did peoples faces say "holy crap - who let the scrap yard out?"

Only kidding

Many a true word spoken in jest

Just imagine how many new cars those fiestas take the the time to read the FAQs out of on the roads.

RX-8s included

I'm sorry (not aimed at you fox) but who ever looks at an Escort Cosworth and thinks "run of the mill" wants shooting.

Does it count that I dont like them and dont think they are anything special out of the box ??

Yea it does, because even out of the box they are "special".

Burned_Alive · 26 Jul 2005 at 18:58

Pacific Blue Escort RS Cosworth = dribble.....

Cosworth or Evo......Cosworth or Evo......Cosworth or Evo...... *sigh*

Duke · 26 Jul 2005 at 19:03

Some nice pics there. I'm not too keen on the Fiestas, but the Cossy and Escorts look in truly mint condition :cool:

Hmm, i'm not overly convinced by the massive collection of very dated and nastily chavved up cars...specially the whale tails

Most of these are becoming Clasic cars m8, Series 1 RST already is.

Nice cars there, if i ever find a good solid S1RST itll be mine

Nice cars, hold there value well.

4wd, 225bhp nothing special? ok mate

Trickle · 26 Jul 2005 at 19:49

Well, I would expect a '93 Sti or Evo 3 to outgun one on any surface but maybe I'm wrong. These cars cost less to buy now aswell. The cosworth commands its price because of its icon image alone. This isnt something I disagree with. When it was released, it was a special car. Today it is special because it is a classic, not because of any performance ability.
