decisions decision!!!!!!!!?

I have decided now that my car insurance has come right down that i will spoil myself. Now for the people that know me I'am a complete car nut and, have petrol running through my veins. So this is the question do i go old school and buy myself a classic Sierra cosworth for some retro respect? or do i turn to the darkside and go for an impreza. I'm in a pickle especially with fuel prices the way they are however, if i don't get one now i never will as my next proper car will be a range rover. So opinions please should i go for the all out classic and loved by all that is the Cozzie or do i get the fast and furious inspiring Scooby? I know price for parts and potential problems with both (I was a mechanic for ten years) so i just want your opinions on the cars Themselves. Your most valued opinions please......... behave filya! chav i'm deffo not they can only stretch to a nova or astra if they flush! Kev the escort is too much like a brick and after the engine change over to smaller turbo and coil pack its not worth trying to improve the performance. The cosworth has more racing pedigree than what a lot of people give it credit for over 40 formula 1 wins they now build most of the engines in aston martins and lambo's i said retro respect mate not respect for me no car will give you respect you have to respect the car or it will kill you and i would hardly call either of them a town car. how many town cars do you know that after spending 7k on a decent one and then say another 6k on the engine will get you to 180mph not any i can think of!!! The cozzie will let you do that though. chuck norris has never heard of track days obviously!!!! so i sleep a lot i have a veccy sri 140 at the minute but sick of the sensor problems you forgot the scooby's triple shell bearing problems as well. Merovingian, both the tickford and brooklands capri are like rocking horse $hit!!!!!

  1. get the cozzie
  2. Get in the car section then you t-sser! hmmmm a chav on top! oh look a towel to wipe my greasy hand's on below......
  3. cosworth is a chav car, get the impreza
  4. The problem when buying any high performance car is that you don't know how the car has been driven before.Obviously the older the car the more chance that some idiot has revved the nuts off the thing.Personally I'd go for a scooby out of the two you've listed although I loved my Focus RS before I was made redundant and had to sell it
  5. Go for the Cozzie, it'll hold its price better when you come to sell it
  6. I reckon go for the Cosworth, the Impreza is, when all is said and done, a biscuit tin on wheels, albeit a fast biscuit tin on wheels. the Cosworth is more solidly built. Whatever you get though, make sure you enjoy it to the full!!!! Ha! think I upset an Impreza owner!!
  7. Definately the Cossie. What about the Escort Cossie? Edit: Or something a bit different, a Lotus Carlton?
  8. impreza, fantastic, in your face, cars.
  9. i can see your dilemma, a swimsuit or an animated dog, tough choice
  10. I don't think either give you respect sorry mate, they are both townie cars.
  11. Depends how small your penis is? Get a normal car where you won't feel compelled to speed and probably end up killing not you but the poor sod who got into your car for a lift home.
  12. A Subaru has to beat a Ford anytime...surely?
  13. We have had a impreza, watch out they are soooooooooo fast.
  14. Wouldn,t it be nice to know what the proper car is that you have now.With you being a mechy,its no good me telling you of the prop uj failure rate on a cozzie, or the lower arm inner bush failings resulting in excess tyre wear on the scooby.When you get the range rover,at least go for the vogue,i like the walnut drink trays in mine.Anyway back to the dilemma,lotus cortina good choice well done. Edit yo triple shell, when i was in the trade,i built a sierra with rover v8 and sdi 5 speed box,nitrus tank in boot and did the road part of drag at manby lincs happy days Oh exhaust was made up from a ford cargo,sounded sweet
  15. Neither. Go for a 4th gen Camaro (92-02) - coupe, not drop-top. With a 5.7L LT/LS1 lump under the bonnet though, it could be a little thirsty...... But it's quick and it certainly sounds the part. And yes, they are available this side of the pond.
  16. Sierra Cosworth RS 500 The original mental wagon. 3 doors & a big whale tail spoiler. They look as good now as they did then. A RS 200 would be a sound investment, but remortgaging your house for a car seems a bit steep. Good luck though and enjoy your new toy.
  17. The impreza guzzles fuel like nothing on earth so go for the cosworth!!!
  18. Don't forget the music. Edith Piaf is top. My mate Commodore Cunningham got the souped-up Lexus to 145 mph in France last month thanks to her!
  19. for someone of your standing and taste the only possible car has to be a Maserati quattroporte electric blue cream leather
  20. Get the Cosworth and i'll stick to the Lambrini
  21. they say the bigger and flashier the car ,the smaller the penis of the man behind the wheel. I drive a smart car
  22. Cozzie you dafty it's a babe magnet.End of. lol xx
