I dont know about you but all those RS guys keep on boasting how reliable their fords are, so its get back time
Having done NM5 this morning i had to drive to london this afternoon, on my way down (and past a bad crash on the A1) i picked up the M25, and guess what i saw?!! 3 sierra cossies on the hard shoulder!! all with drivers out lol!! is this a record of how many cossies you can get on the hard shoulder at one time?!! i take it they must have all broken down cos its illegal to stop on the hard shoulder for anything else
Just thinking that dagenham was only just down the road lol!!

1 of them could have had a problem, and the other 2 could have stopped to help.

 

F-Found
O-On
R-Road
D-Dead

Hehehehehe

 

Yes AWD - Burger King IS best

 

F = Found
O = On
R = Rubbish
D = Dump

 

Given that I'm still a bit unsure of the MY01 looks, the new Focus cossie may be quite interesting don't you think???

(Still, an STI Wagon appeals more...)

 

F = Fix
O = Or
R = Repair
D = Daily

 

Nah ....

They probably stopped for a picnic on the hard shoulder

I hope that this thread doesn't start a flame war.

 

F = Fails
O = On
R = Race
D = Day

Congratulations on a well balanced argument!
I'm pleased to see you guys are still trying to shoot us down.

 

yawn :-)

maybe they stopped with oil starvation on piston/crank/shell number 3?

or maybe not as thats left to the badly designed engines.... *sigh*

my fordo is 1.7 times its normal power output and miles on and on and on and on...

The only good 4wd Ford is the ones used by farmer giles to plough his fields.

 

Whereas the subaru was only able to go round the outside of the field carrying the sheep and really didnt have the torque requied to plough it?

anyhows i was talking 2wd... and plenty fast enough, round track country road or straight line...

Please keep this thread nice and polite We don't need anymore rubbish in the muppet forum. We can create our own thanks

 

Guys
Have a chat to Harj.
He`s been recently driving a "Certain RS".
Ask him how it compares to your portable toilets (Subapoos).
I think his exact words were "A different league" when he compared it to the 22B (And thats one of the better models)
Anyway be careful out there if you are thinking of having your Scoobys Chipped as chips and soup dont go down too well!
Roll on the piston soup. lol

P.S Cossies are still around 15 years after coming off the production line.
Your japanese junk will be long gone after that period of time

Sorry, best I could do with the material I had......

I've had 2, that was enough. Fondest memory. Car dying on me on the top floor of the Bentalls car park in Kingston at 7:55pm. That was a hoot to get down...... not.

In their defense, the RS200 is lovely, if somewhat of a Frankenstein's bride car!

Remember many years ago hearing 4 of these cruising along at together 40 or so from over a mile away

Don't think that these fellas can be used to get you to and from work every day.


I'll get my coat.........


Nick

 

Biffo. its a bit Silly compairing a GroupB rally car that costs 100K to a road going impreza that costs 40K dont you think?

As a daily driver the 22B wins by miles.

As a competition bred basket case mental 4 wheel spin in any gear nutter ba$tard the RS200 wins by miles.

This is a very dull subject indeed. LOL

 

F funny
O old
R rusting
D designs

John me old china!
I have seen your Westie in action a couple of times at Donno.
It goes like a rocket!
Whats it powered by
Why don`t you try using one of the Scooby engines instead of the one you have got.
You don`t need to answer this as I already know the answer.......You don`t wanna end up with Cadburys Dairy Milk all over your pride and joy LOL
Only joking mate!
I just really enjoy giving these Scooby boys a taste of their own medicine.
Uncle Henry wouldn`t be very happy if he knew that these boys were taking the micky out of his motors.
Biff

 

on that note, the only car to break down on our tour/trip to nurburgring was a 22b.

rw

 

*cough*

I am saying nowt to that one steven.

As to fitting a scoob in my westie, the heads would be popping out the side just a tad

 

At least they'd be cool then John It'd look a it like a BMW motorbike LOL

Damn... One of my cars is made of Chocolate and the other is Frankenstein's bride

Think I'd better go a buy a nice reliable Integrale

Richard

 

Richard
DO NOT PART WITH ANY OF YOUR CARS MATE!
Especially the RS200 (Looking forward to seeing that in the flesh)
I`m only giving these boys a taste of whats to come
John
If the Scooby engine would fit,would you remove your "masterpiece" and fit it. LOL
Biff

 

i just dont like people saying how unreliable fords are. its pants...



anyhows richard any news on the 22b?

all the best

rw

 

I recently followed a Sierra Cossie(3 dr load exhaust,baseball cap,etc) on a stretch of the M5 south of Bristol. Upto about 120 we were pretty even, then he started to pull away. Got upto about 140, so I guess he was probably doing 150. The cloud of black smoke pouring out of his exhaust was hilarious, and had he not pulled off at the next junction it wouldn't have been long before he'd burned every drop of oil in the the engine. Very amusing.

 

MarkG
That was a diesel Cossie replica you silly boy
Richard
Seriously did you get the 22B sorted?
Regards
Biff

 

God u cossie boys bite dont you?!! lol!!
but you dont see 3 scoobs on the hard shoulder (let alone one!!) and 3 rather unimpressed drivers there too do you???
it was an observation from last week, just after i had been to northern meet 5 (oh and no scoobs broke down cos of our "chocolate engines" )

Regards to all those who bite
