Hi! My husband used to have a cossie back in the 90's.



He was just my friend back then but I remember going to some place in Horsham with him - a couple of guys used to work on it there. I had a GTE 16v at the time. I was more into those. He sold it to go motorbike racing.

I had a few GTE's as well plenty of lift off oversteer, only bought them for the dashboard display, couple of pics;

Yep i've had quite a few of them over the past 16/17 years. Sold my 40,010 mile moonstone 3 door last month so am now Cosworthless.

Still have the old engine out of YUM with a fresh rebuild under it's belt sitting in the garage so have to decide whether to keep it for future use or punt it on.

Would love another MK2 so it would be good in that but have also found myself looking at Talbot Sunbeams latley

I haven't been on passionford for couple of years, so Dave sold yum in bits? Did he every hit the 200mph he was chasing?

My Dad had a 3 Door Sierra when they first come out, then had an RS500 as soon as they come out. I have some photos at home, will get them scanned in and post them up.

I would like to know if either are still about as we heard not long after he sold the RS500, it was stolen. That's the reason he got rid of his, was constantly worried about it getting nicked. I loved those cars, he also had a rake of XR4i's, XR4x4's, RST's, XR3i's and XR2's. He used to be into Accident Repairs.

Look forward to some more photos.

You fucking idiot! Sell it Dan for god sake!

Steve, I've had a few RS's in my time, went to a CSL in December last year and quite frankly, I'm still kicking myself for not getting at least an M3 bloody years ago!!

These were my RS's:

Small Turbo Escos



My 2wd Mercury Grey Saph:



and my Concours Series 1 RST with 46k on the clock:







Did you also have an Audi S4 in Time Attack after the Escos Steve?
