Witnessed a classic-shape scooby racing a black Escort Cossie along the new A130, Great Leighs to Braintree in Essex, on bank holiday Monday.

Scooby got blown away - big time! Was quite suprised.

Unlucky mate, who-ever you are.

Anyone know what that Cossie is running in terms of BHP? Think it was an L-reg and it definitely wasn't standard by the way it squatted under acceleration!!!

 

Hey Ive been spotted at last , it was me in my scooby , mines a 2000 sport , I have tubo wheels and spoiler / scoop , But NO turbo , my mates Cossie is Brill its running nearly 220 bhp, its much faster than my Sport , I really need a standard turbo scoob , / Then Ill show him , XX JB, ?

 

Did Escort cossies not have over 220 BHP as standard?

 

Yep, 220 is what ya get direct from ford in the dagenham dustbin!!!!

 

So if it was against a 'real' scoob it would have been a different story

 

Oh yes indeed it would struggle

 

Did your mates cossie have white compermotive rims..? if so saw in harlow..

looked very nice.

 

obviously severe turbo lag

 

if, by chance they were made in dagenham (not likely!!)

Dazza

 

Most Cossies left on the roads these days have somewhat more than the stock 220bhp!! I know of several in Essex that must be around the 350-400bhp mark. VERY quick cars at that level of tune...pity about the handling though!
