Far far too many to mention. But just like Markymark, The Escort Cosworth will always have a place in my heart as a car I'll always love.

Dad had a Sierra Cosworth but wouldn't buy an Escort due to the knickability factor. Even today an Escort Cosworth has soo much road presents compared to most cars (Scoobies included) that if funds allowed, I'd buy a mint Imperial Blue Escort Cosworth to be used for sunny Sundays only.

Funds don't allow though

If I was my age now when the Escort Cossie came out, I'd have bought one straight away.

My disapointment over the new Focus RS being FWD is unmeasurable. This car was supposed to be my moden day Escort Cosworth. Sadly not.

Great choice!
