Waiting for a car is a horrable experiance....8 months, is a killer.

Hope you like it.

I suffer from buyers blues, and feel if I waited 8 months for anything I would have a serious bout at the end of the wait.

and great you have too

I have said the same -- but I would have to go to Maranello to collect mine

maybe one day

although I always lusted after the escort cossie in the 90's and it looks like you have the modern day equivalent

a future classic for sure – you should have bought two and garaged one

although they say never meet your heros -- the Cossie would probably be no match for the RS

if the bottom gearbox mount is anythin like the st one get the vibratechnic mount on (£60)they make the world of difference as the standard one is a little sloppy.

rs is the better package all round
