1 question though, after all of those lovely RS's why did you change to VW?  :party:

Long story, wifes old MK3 fiesta (she'd bought it brand new as well) developed a bad internal rust problem within it's corrosion warranty, Ford didn't want to know so that was part ex'd against a 1.6 M reg Polo to get rid, Mrs Choppers has since always had VW's. 3 fiesta's and now on her 3rd Polo.  :smiley:

Then when the MKIV R32 came out I still had the Cossie, really wanted the R, but the trade in on the Vectra we also had at the same time was crap, so I then decided to sell the Cossie for the R32. That started my Journey with VW's... :driver: I still love RS's may get another one some day but hey more than happy with the Golf's.  :happy2:

They did but it was still a nice drive, RS2000 MK6 4X4.  :happy2: Plus I only lost £750 on this car after 18 months of ownership... :jumpmove: If I'd hung on to for another 12 months I'd have lost a lot of money as there value dropped like a piano falling off the empire state building... :signLOL:

Ok if we're reminiscing.....

Brother had one of these - Nemesis of the RS2000 (He had one of those as well - rally prepped with a flat front)

Moschops you must have had a race with one of these whilst listening to the Sharp "Synthesiser" radio cassette  :laugh:

Excellent taste sir. The Escort RS Cosworth is still a dream car of mine although everyone I know who said the same then bought one said it was a let down. Nonetheless, I still think they rock even now the newest ones are 14 years old.

Did you ever map the Cosworth at all? yours was a small turbo I am guessing from the colour, plate and mirrors?

I had an earlier large turbo, very laggy as standard, mapped it straight away, then got the modding bug (yet again!) - ended up with a lovely 350hp example.

became the deposit on my house in the end !!  :sad1:

Good times though.

Lovely collection mate.  :congrats:

Never felt this with the Cossie, was well pleased with it was a cult car and a real head turner :happy2: Plus it too ages to save up for it.... :innocent: and was my dream car at the time.
