eh, is that right, they called a silver colour Auralis Blue? (Not taking the P1ss if it was a typo, just interested)Quote: Originally posted by Matt16v on 19 March 2004
My mate bought an abolsute mint Cossie summer last year.
Its a 1992 K plate (big turbo) and it only had 30k on the clock - seriously the thing looks brand new and drives and sounds like a brank new car.
He paid £15k for it and I reckon its worth every penny - its just so fast for a standard car. He travelled along way to find it as well.
Also know another guy with a 1995 N plate (small turbo) thats modded his up to 284bhp and that (obviously) is even quicker. Its auralis blue which is a well nice shade of silver. Dunno what he paid for that though.

Thanks for the input guys, the Escort Cosworth bit at the end i liked! Try and find a nice one though. In Newcastle where im from your very lucky if you see one. I would love one but it comes down to finding one that hasnt been hammered into the ground by some little spotty freak whos parents have just bought him it for his birthday, he has a heavy foot and no respect for the beast that he has at his feet!.
how much do you reckon you could get one of them for now? about 12 Grand? or more...
You have gotta be kidding me!!? :s lmao
How many little spotty freaks do you think can afford the insurance on an escort cossie!!? lmao
Youngest coss driver ive ever seen must have been late 20s!!
Its a kinda Purple/Silver colour I think!Quote: Originally posted by dave182 on 19 March 2004

Just a quick one! I would just like to have all your views as to what you would prefer given the money.. a Focus RS or a Clio V6???
Would love to hear your views, and the reason behind your choice!
Cheers...
yeah but if the spotty little freaks parents bought the car for birthday then they would prob buy the insurance too.Quote: Originally posted by G16NNN on 19 March 2004

RS - more subtle - similar perf - still got bag fulls of road presence
The Vee six will attract more attention than A Ferrari !! Youll be frightened to leave it anywhere!!! Thats my main concern actually - maybe if I bought a crap car to leave in car parks when going out I might go for the V6. At least youd have a hope of disguising the RSs credentials, the V6 looks mental from all angles.
you gotta be real about these things - if someone is gonna nick it they are gonna nick it - whether its in a car park or on the drive unfortunately.
when I bought my 172 I said similar paranoid comments to him, he said, "Kathy - its only a car, and it is insured" made me think !!
you cant not buy a car in case it gets nicked for goddsssake !!!
