I used to know a bloke with a Cosworth.

Don't know what happened to him.....

Why'd you sell it..?

[Iva Barchetta]

It was a mess,not moved in 3 years,engine not run for 2 years.

2 blokes turned up at my house wanting to buy it,so I let one of them do so.

That's the short version.

I had in the past said it was a keeper but there was no point in hanging on to it any more.

[Otter Smacker]

Just had a job interview for a trainee Stonemason position, today (which went well). The job itself will be fitted around my College times - Just I'm going to have to give up my 4 day weekends, should I get the position.

Nothing set in stone (pun intended), but...

That's a shame, I quite like the Cossie

The voices in my head are telling me to do the washing up,then I have to go out to buy food.

There was a white one at Silverstone last Sunday,standard looking.

Hardly anybody drives theirs much now as people are seeing ££££s of values increasing.

I haven't seen a single one on the open road outside of an event in 2015.

Deffo a cool car with a hooligan reputation and fragile reliability.

If mine had been any good I would be driving it occasionally to work and never have got the silly Fiat and done

all the roadtrips in it too.

Here's the readers cars thread on it.

It cost me a fortune but I don't regret buying it,the acceleration was awesome.

I'll have a read of that in a minute,

The cosworth is my dad's fav car, and that's where I get my love of it from.

The last time I seen one was on the day of the Ford Fest event, he was doing less than 50 on the M6...

"Less than 50"....his transmission was probably broken...LOL

I didn't drive mine like a loon but rarely slowly.

I thought they were made out of tractor parts and recycled cortinas and consequently fairly robust?

Went to buy some cod fish fingers yesterday, got home and discovered they were a load of pollocks.

[DickyC]

That was TT at its broad spectrum best last evening.

Carry on.

Not quite.

There was no milk for my early morning coffees.

I had to get dressed and go to the paper shop. Came home, got back into my pants and try again.

I'm all off balance today.

[GOG440]

Morning all.
Being dragged round the shops this morning because Mrs Gog likes to get all her christmas shopping done early. This is apparently the last present to buy for our daughter!
I am rubbish at this, I havent even thought about what I want yet, r what I am getting her either.
