Sad sad day it's gone

rstoughy · 22-01-2011, 01:09 AM

well after 16yrs of continuous ownership I have sold my last Cosworth.
Feels a little strange as they have been such a big part of my life (and wallet) for so long.
Onwards and upwards though.

oh, anyone know of a white 3 door for sale

Got to move on sometime Paul, or not maybe by the sounds of it!! Lol

I see Colins (old?) Moonstone shell is up for sale as well at the minute isn't it?

rstoughy · 22-01-2011, 10:16 AM

Where's it up for sale Dan?

Moving on...hmmmm. Was all sorted when it sold and quite happy then following it along the road last night started thinking WTF have i done

Think i will probably go get something like a Focus RS for a while once my Audi sells then have a re-think.
Still want another MK2 Escort but supersonic prices have pushed me out of that game

Cossies....aghhhhhhhh

Pistonheads I think Paul, it is only a shell (maybe with running gear) but I'm sure it's his old/current one...

I remember the day I sold my Mercury 2WD Saph, I went straight indoors and looked at Saph's again on Pistonheads!

Within a week I'd put a deposit on my Escos, then I sold the Series 1 within the next fortnight and the day that went (on a Saturday) the very next day I went to pick up the Escos and pay the balance!

I still would love a 2WD Magenta Saph on Diamond Cut RS7's!

Thought your name rang a bell from Passionford.I was on there as Allsteel.I was sad too when my 575 brake Escos went away.

Brand new in packaging heat sheild
Original 3 door header tank (un cracked)

Genuine Ford RS500 front Grills
Fancy Engine (fresh rebuild)
L8 ECU with MSD Anti-lag, launch control, Wasted spark, Air injector boost control etc etc
Brand new DEFI boost & oil press with Control unit.

Have boxes and boxes of stuff in the loft so will need to have a look at what i have.
