Very nice indeed, looking at the tarmac, it looks like he was checking out its traction capabilities before he took the shots

 

Lovely car. Dave, that was probably an artic that turned in that tight spot!

good spot,

I have to say im sure thoes cars drive great and all that but they
look like shite imho

 

Ah Brian, you're not serious! The original Cossie? Fab looking car and a Legend! Moonstone Blue is probably the best colour too.

 

Yep, I've got a thing for fuppin standard Sierra's, so a proper 3-dr Whale Tale Cossie is the business. It all went a bit pear-shaped with the Saphire 4-dr, but the 3dr is quality. When I was a kid I wanted to have a 3dr XR4x4 !

Did they make a 3dr XR4x4? I loved the XR4i and even had a matchbox one

. Cosworth Continental - now that i would like!

 

I know this is a VAG site, but just look at some of the last ones on pg 5 of Autotrader!

an acquired taste

If you drove one I'd think you would change your mind in a similar way many people think Golfs are too understated and plain. Personally I prefer understated.

I think the problem with most cossies is that they got diluted with all the look-a-likes and tarted up models that emerged by wannabee owners. The 4 door version was a real sleeper and super fast to drive. Unfortunately the blue oval has lost its way IMO over the years. Still none are as spirited as the MK2 RS2000 - had a few MK2s, sold them and now want another one. Obviously not as quick as modern motors but still competitive and fantastic fun to drive being RWD.

 

You should all wash your mouths out with soap! Bar Brian, the only one with sense!

These cars should be on Barry boys!

Listen up Jessy-Boy - you couldnt stick half a lap around Mondello in the Westie with me, so I wouldnt expect you to know much about fast cars !!!!

Stick a g60 in her!

 

My bed room walls where littered with this kind of stuff during the 80's

 

Did you know (and I suspect Glenn does, given the anorak that he is !!) that the RS200 uses the standard Sierra doors !

 

Yeah I had a cossie on my bedroom wall too.

Its not aero dynamic enough and its impacting the drag factor as I move along how can I sort this (I don't probably help in my XL vagdrivers sweatshirt but thats a different issue

)

Also, have BBS any suitable wheels that I won't have to bate the grease caps to fir them on?

Also how can I get the brouquets into the petrol tank

And my vagdriver.net number plates haven't arrived yet must get onto Trev about that......a couple of pop rivets should get them onto the back of the mower......although my sat nav, radar jammer and stereo keeping interfering with each other (not in the biblical sense) and keep switching my neighbours microwave on and off at random intervals....but at least I sorted my mice problem
