I had no idea that vid existed till Cozzfather posted it on escos.

He made a funny comment about Colt Seivers the fall guy following me in his pickup

haha, was a good video of some nice cosworhs giving it the beans

Small update with no photos.



After a few miles on the rear tyres I now have grip in second  OK not on all surfaces etc. But much better than it was, it is now drivable in all gears so happy days on that.



Not managed to fix the front bumper yet, a mate has quoted me £70 to fix the bumper and the splitter, he has to get a price for paintwork on top of that so not the end of the world.



I have now bought a baby seat! We went for the Maxi Cosi Priorifix with the extra head pillow. Not my choice, the Mrs wanted this as it had a much better function of laying the seat back into a sleeping position than the Recaro seat. One thing I do know, it’s a ball ache to get my little girl in and out of the seat, not just this seat but all seats. If I had known this I would of got the seat that turns so it is facing the door when you need to un-belt them etc. I have not tried the seat yet with the belts in the back of the Cosworth but it should be fine.



One thing I would like to know, can you disable the passenger side airbag in an Escort Cosworth? I would prefer for my daughter to ride shotgun when it’s just me and her in the car but don’t want to with the airbag still on. Can anyone confirm if you have to disable the airbag for the front facing baby seats?



I took the car for a blast yesterday and had a few comments, first was from a guy who waved me down from his 4x4. I stopped and asked if I wanted to buy a Chainsaw!!! No thanks, he then moved onto the car, don’t see many of them he said, how much power does it have, is it fast etc

Then I had a guy who was cleaning cars in the car park I put her in ask if it was real, then went on to say you don’t see them anymore and it was good to see them being used. I couldn’t stop long but was happy enough to know this guy was clearly going to keep an eye on the car for me while it was parked 



I have to confess, I am finding myself looking in the Pistonheads classifieds again  never a good sign with me

Lord, I am the same, the looks of it get me everytime. The sound is the next best thing to sex as well.
The thing with Cosworths, you just dont know what is under the bonnet, could be a standard 230 bhp or a 600 bhp RWD. Mine has enough power and RWD to play with most things on the road but bikes I dont really bother with unless 600 or under. Around town your never going to keep with anything in mine but when you get her out on the road so she can stretch her legs she really does go well. I went passed a 370Z the other day like he was going backwards (and yes he was trying as hard as he could) With mine not having parts of the 4x4 system anymore, the air con taken out and no heavy leather etc makes it a lightish car, especially for its power.

Part of me thinks, use her for a couple years like I am then take it out of everyday use, stick a cage in her, strip it, big brakes and turn the boost up and go track days or very fast road use or sell up within a year and buy something more family related like a M5 or something

Yeah if I do track days then I will no doubt get addicted and start spending every penny I have on it. The engine/suspension would be good enough for track but a good £1000 on brakes, tyres etc will soon add up.

Just been out in the works 1.4 Polo! It was one of them moments when you appreciate the power my car has lol

Expensive morning

last of the best RS's i reckon

I couldnt resist







Spotted it yet?

I would have done the exact same thing.

I love a random photo opportunity.

Why are you selling BTW ? you haven't had it long.

Nothing to do with the valuation farce going on at you know where hopefully.
