"Escort cos- average uk model also."

No **** Mr Holmes. As opposed to a grey japanese import one, you mean??

 

They were 2 normal u.k cars.

If maybe they had a imported scooby with all the trimmings on AND a nice COLOUR then maybe she would have picked the scooby and saved money!

 

Personally I would have had the WRC Escort.
Lol at the comment of the bog standard scoob daewoo look alike looking better than the escos dream on.

 

Given the choice that was given, I too would have gone for the Cossie ..but, I wouldn't have relied on two punks to find me a car, and therefore would have looked around....£16k buys a lot of scoob, so I would have ended up back in a Scoob.

Hope that makes sense....got headache

 

Did anyone see the episode the other day when some geek chose the Porsche Boxster? The main presenter told him that they were cheap to service, then it promptly cut to their in-house expert saying that they were expensive to service. Quality!

 

I reckon I would have gone for the Cosworth too. I like my scooby but theres something about an escort cosworth that the scooby doesn't have. I can't put my finger on it but its a gut feeling.

I didn't buy a cossie myself cos they were to expensive and also cos I need a car I can use for many roles(thus I have a wagon) and I don't think they did a cosworth estate (LOL). Imagine if they had done!

 

Yeah I'd have had the cossie as well.

Out of those two the cossie looked much better than the scoob, but personally I thought they were both over priced - but I don't like buying from dealers so maybe they are about right?

 

Good luck to her. It was nice to see someone enjoying their cars. Also nice to see a car program not going down the usual PC route and discouraging fast cars etc. A much as she liked the Scoob, you could tell that she really wanted a Cossie - can't blame her for that. If that's her dream car then fine. Christ knows what the insurance would be for a 23 year old though!

My Insurance was £1996 on my Escort when I was 22 and I live in the 'highest risk' catagory for insurance (typical)!

But as I keep saying: my scoob is newer, quicker, more reliable, handles better and is 500 quid cheaper to insure.

But doesn't look as good :-(

 

Dont think that tune was Crazy Town - anyone else any ideas? The tune they were playing throughout the programme

 

Think i would of said "thanks but no thanks"

And then imported an STi from japan Not sure if you get Phat and **** as standard though?...

Surley she was in Type R category with the funds..

And wow!!! a women petrol head heaven.
I could sit down and instead of being tortured with Eastenders could talk, torque and bhp without that shutup stare i get with my current model lol.....

Only kidding missis honest..

 

So its official the scooby isnt a boy racer car . I am getting too old to be a boy racer.

 

They could have picked a better scooby than that old silver one with black door handles! She said she wanted a loud car that scoob was bog standard the mini made more noise than the scoob.

 

I didnt see the program, but from the tunes description I would hazard a guess at

Røyksopp - Eple

It gets used on loads of proggies, so theres a slight chance its that, get it anyway, tis a great track

Enough of this insulting behaviour...she might have been a bit of a hound in some eyes, but you can't expect every girl racer to look like Jordana Brewster or Michelle Rodriguez from Fast and Furious.

 

Yes, but did anyone see the gliders

 

The ford was a better investment for her.

 

i saw the gliders, and although cool, WHAT THE ****??!! Why did they suddenly cut to being in those??

Andy

 

Just another jolly for the crew I suppose.

Tracktime, Focus rally car, gliding, a chance to wind up the salesmen & all for nowt!

N.
You running solo now or are you still frightening the ground crew with your antics

 

She was quibbling if she could afford to run the cars, surely the Cossie would be the least economical in the whole of the lot???

 

OK, OK, that was a one off

Anyway. I landed safely

I missed the end Did she have the cos or not ?
Did she decide to get another Cos ?

 

went for a blue cossie at last, if i remembered correctly.

car choice, no complaints. better cosie or scoob rather than a focus! at least she commented on the boxer note.

but, i have to say, her laugh remind me of JADE from Big Brother, well loud and extremely ...not pleasant (not wanting to be sued for defamation)

 

matt5cott - you're a feckin hero mate, thats the one and what a quality tune

Many thanks mate - sorted at last

 

Well we know you only did it to entertain the spectators

Shirley comments last night were, if you could do it without the take off and landing she'd give it a try
