+2 for escorts they are mad would love to have one...the on up the top there s quite nice.
the only ford i would own is a cosworth...i have alway been a massive fan of theirs.
if i wasnt into VW's then i would have had one by now :)
when Ford release the Escort Cosworth turbo Mk 6, i absolutely fell in love with them. Unfortunately to own one in Oz would have cost around $80 - $100k and would have been a private import.
however, I did own a mk 2 RS2000 which was an absolute beast 260KW turbo - would do 0-100k in 4.5s and would have been quicker if I could overcome the wheelspin.

i LOVE escorts, and cossi's especially...
but my major soft spot is the old school cossi or lotus engined escorts :D
Nice ride. What turbo did it have? Nice choice in wheels too - same as mine :DQuote:

the wheels were great, only 13" though, but the 235/50's on it made it look like a steam rollerj:
