I respect some Cosworth owners although slightly more for the 4x4 ones (power & control )

Respect for all performance car peeps , wouldn't do if everyone was driving the same thing now, would it?

Cola,
At least you have an excuse...

As to Cossies being "old" technology, the 4wd running gear may be better used on a John Deere, but the engine technology is STREETS ahead. Cossie engines have proper steel internals and can be reliably tuned to 500bhp (mine has now done 17k+ miles and will still hit 180mph no probs - in fact 186mph is now the highest reading on the Stack), when Subaru make a non-chocolate engine to go with the superb chassis, I might be swayed - but then again I would have to have an op and call myself Michelle...

Real men drive rwd cars...
LOL

Always thought Cossies were poo..until I went in one (still yet to experience 500bhp) The owners all seem to be a nice bunch anyway.

Mark,
Even a Cossie running on two cylinders is quicker than a 924...
LOL

Alex,
Car is fine thanks. Bit leary in this weather, will wheelspin at 125mph in 3rd in a completely straight line in the wet Was fun scaring the 4wd boys at Snetterton though...

Are any of you Scooby lot going to the bash at Alconbury on 27th July? The 200+ club is getting the ten fastest cars from each club to go against each other...
Cheers
Mike R

Mike R - cool, glad the car is going well, I remember seeing it at Donnington (i think) plus pictures of the huge flames coming out the zorst... mental.

All the best, Alex

No i am not Mr Gupta!FACT.

As Mike R said 4 wheel drive is for girls,2wd for men..although a boy like me can get one,but it dont mean i can control it!
I find its the older generation that tend to go 4 wheel drive with the excuse of "i have to let me wife drive it"...!
