    ....an Escort Cosworth...what an awesome car...its around 300bhp and certainly feels quicker than my 348.

    Angelis i dont think Essex boys can afford the Escort they go for the Sapphires :D ...These babys fetch upto 18k and certainly no less than 12k for a dog ;)


    I had a Sunbeam Lotus many years ago in black awesome car...but not in the Cosworth league so please move along...LOL

    SteveP i take it you are talking about the old spec Martin Hadland Escort...the one that did 191mph too!!!..Take it from me the new one gonna be staggering :eek:

    Please also lets not forget the M A Developments Sapphire Cosworth running a genuine 650 BHP with a 150BHP shot of Nos making nigh on 800bhp...that recently did 207 odd mph and its a FULL road car :eek: MENTAL.

    My advice to all Ferrari owners including myself is NEVER race a Daganham Cosworth Dustbin :eek:

    Cracking car Phil, I have had a few of them, my last one was a 420 bhp low comp engine, Im pretty sure it would beat my 360 to 100mph even with the power loss thru the 4x4 drive train...................

    5000rpm and drop the clutch !!!!!!!!!!!!! love it (drive shafts dont tho)

    I know Harvey, as I have owned a 'few' Cosworths. He was thinking of going for a Diablo at one point...
