Newbie with an RS addiction
Discussion
Alright Guys,
Been a long time lurker, thought I would introduce myself.
My names Harry I'm from Maidenhead Berkshire and I have some what an RS addicition!
It all started when I was 19 when I swapped my MK2 Golf 16v for my first Series 1 Rs turbo.
This car really tested me, blew the engine twice got it rebuilt and ended up selling for financial reasons and always regretted it.
Since then I've had various hot hatches from VXR's to E46 M3's even a B5 RS4 which I also regret selling but it made way for this beauty...
An Escort Cosworth Monte finished in Jewel Violet she is number 58 of a total of 200 production cars and covered only 46k from new. I believe only 25 were made in this colour all together and fewer RHD cars. This is also a special car as it was a Brooklyn's car from new which consisted of going straight from the factory to brooklyns and having a full stage 3 conversion on the engine.
Here is my track toy as well which has still yet to be finished but she's very fast indeed boasting a GT30 turbo and in need of a map she will be around the 450 bhp mark, I've had a few Mk1 Focus RS's and have to say they are very addictive!
I also have an E36 M3 Evo as my daily which is stunning and a Series 1 RS turbo which I will be picking up on the weekend. I look forward to attending some meets come show season, is there any frequent ones quite close to the Berkshire area?
Thanks Harry

That would be great mate, I'm hoping to get the escos back out in the middle of April after a full service etc so we will have to do a Sunday drive out if you fancy. Can possibly see who else is up for it on the Pheads community.

Such an inspiration to us all! 
What a car collection though, utterly superb Cossie, never seen one in that colour before! The more I see of these kind of fast Fords the more I love them, really characterful cars that you just don't see nowadays. Will be following this to see how the new RST shines
