Really nice motor. Really nice. Seems like yesterday when they were fresh off the production line.
Suddenly 20 odd years have passed.

Of all the Fords that have been sold to the British public the Sierra Cosworth must stand head and shoulders above the rest.
I cant think of anything that comes close.
I'm not saying there aren't some other amazing Fords that have been produced over the years,
the Escort Cosworth, Sapphire Cosworth, Lotus Savage, MKI II Escort Mexicos, XR2 XR3 XR3i XR4I XR4x4 RS turbo, RS2000 RS1600 . . . (I could go on) are some awsome examples but the First Sierra Cosworth is in a league of its own.
Is there anything that can better it?

Hi Pete - Long time no speak! 
Car looks great and you are obviously more at home with the RS scene than you were with Scoobs and EVO's....... you still have the car for starters!
What power you up to now with that blower on?

Nice, even the more impressive when you consider it is a D plate car, and D plated ford cars were called "D for doom" by the trade at the time, due to the stupid "recycled steel" they decided to use to try and save cash 
Hence why so many D plate cars rotted away within 2 years and needed new panels
