Escort Cossie gave me a fright!
 

....So I gave him one back :D

I over took a couple of cars on the downs this morning only to have the blue oval up my chuff from nowhere. Jeeesssuuuuss Chriiiiiist it came by me fast and dissapered up the road in a cloud of blue and grey exhaust smoke -phsschuuut!

I recovered quickly and thought I can't have that, can I? Planted right foot into carpet and gave chase. Beautiful Cossie broke hard for slight left, in fact very hard :confused: giving me a huge braking closing manouver. Next minute I'm on his tail but he's buried the loud pedal and another plume of smoke see's him build another convincing gap...

Next corner and again the over braking :confused: then a bit of uneven, jiggly road section see's him bounce and bob all over the place - oh dear! Time to see what he's made of and close on him again. He must be hanging on for dear life by now - why doesn't he concede and let me past? Even at 100kph he's wrestling the beast from the edge of oblivion and I'm almost feeling sorry for him.

Surely it's not that bad a defeat to let me past? After all I'm driving one of Hyundai's finest powerhouse 2.0ltr coupe's today :D ;)

F

I know what car i would rather drive and it wouldnt be the jap sh1te!

Guessing by the smoke it must be my cousin's cossy :D

Korean actually -> Hyundai


Glad to have been of service :)

LOL @ vindaloo :D

Perhaps if the driver could 'drive' then I wouldn't have posted. We shall see if all cossie drivers are as bad at Bedford ;)

F

Will be fun, just a thought thou F, what is your fog bound driving like? 50+ smoking fords & we will not be able to see bugger all :D. Glad that I will be going slowly in the french tin car ;)

I'll bring some respiratory equipment so that we can at least breath before we overtake the Cossie brigade ;)

Perhaps some infra red goggles too because that smoke sure gets thick! :D

IMHO most Escort Cossies are 1.4l Escorts with a bodykit on

..and AWD and 2l turbos and nice interiors and a peice of motoring history.

Nice interiors? :confused:

Compared to what?!!!

:rolleyes:

I accept that the Recaro seats are viewed by some as "decent" but the rest is complete junk!

1.4 Popular interior with white dials, big fcuk off airbag and a few extra gauges......

Styled in Dagenham! ;)
F

they have one hell of a price tag for a 1.4 with a body kit on. ;)



Dave.

Being a bit of a rally slag...realistically a cossie is the ONLY car that would tempt me away from buying another scooby, the clincher would be if a mint RS500 turned up... :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

Compared to similar cars in its class at the time-GT4,Integrale(truly minging seats),GTiR,Evo&Impreza.

I'd still love to own a mint Escort Cossie!

F

I'd love one...

I remember taking my Gf's brother out shopping for a WRX and we ended up at Well Lane one afternoon. Stood in front of a WRX classic and his 'helpful' wife was saying she didn't like it because "it looks like an Escort.."

Parked next to it was a gorgeous Escort Cosworth Lux so I pointed at it and said, "What about that? Does that look like an Escort?"

"No, that's nice," she replied, to much laughter from those guys who were in earshot and had been listening to her compare Scoobs and Escorts.

:D

Women!

Escort Cossie v Hyundai coupe,

hmmm, must have been a 12 year old twoccer at the wheel !

I will be looking out for you then at Bedford, in my rear veiw mirror.;)





Dave.

if you can see thru the smoke & flamer kit ;)

Not a problem Dangerous Dave :D You'll need to know when I'm about to overtake you so keep your eyes peeled ;)

F

PS you offering pax laps? The only other fast Cossie I got a ride in was Mike Rainbirds around the 'ring :eek:

Certainly Flloyd, just need to say hello.

Not as fast as Mikes car, but pretty nippy.;)

See you Saturday.:)



Dave.

Liking the Esc now Dave after your Sapph?

Yes, let's not get started on interiors, eh? :D

If I was a collector, a mint, standard, Escort cossie would be in my Garage. So would the Sierra, for that matter. :)

If you see me about check the little sticker on my number plate.......COSSIEKILLER:D

How will I recognise you Dave? And don't say that your car is Blue or something :rolleyes: ;) :D

F
PS I'll be in the pit garage crammed with Scoobs!

If i let you in, it's mine & Birdy's garage & you havn't paid for it:eek:
Why don't you wear a daffodil in your lapel F:)

PS, the garage will probulary be full of bits that have fallen off the pug :D so I will need the space.

Hi Flloyd, will be driving this.
