My Escort RS Cosworth - not just a passion but an obsession!

This is my story as to why I love the Escort RS Cosworth and why it holds a special place in my heart. The video was filmed prior to the last video where I revealed my Escort Mexico but note the mention of my new car that I never knew at the time I would own when this went live. Enjoy x

    I thought i had stared long enough at these iconic cars. But you gave a few more angles in this video. Don't normally get an outside shot with the boot and bonnet open, that was cool. BUT do you know what, when you were in the car looking out the back at that awesome spoiler with the big stand in the middle - it made me think that must be the view a formula one driver has! Looking out the back of a Cossie is the same as looking forward in a f1 car..

    Still love seeing an Escort Cosworth on the rare occasions that you come across one. The former tuning company Turbosystems in Stoke had one called Rallye Storm. I recall it coming past me at 100 plus back in the day. Not unusual you may think but it was towing a trailer at the time!! Are the alloys the original width or slightly narrower? Oh Mallard green was sweet colour too.

    A guy across the road from my parents bought a new really early Escort in pacifica blue, to my knowledge drove it three times and scared him self with it (last time i looked at it closely around 2000 it still had the covers on the seats and had 450miles on it). It was a running joke that i tried to buy it every time i saw him out cutting his garden etc but years later (must be 2010) he gave it to his son as a wedding present who was not into cars and subsequently sold it for £15k for a deposit for a house (without me knowing i might add). Gutted didn't quite cover it when i heard.
