looked at 330 beemers, series 1 rs turbos, cossie's but nothing has appealed to me and nothing has matched the power and looks of a s4 so think im going to get another one :D

You've looked at old MKIII Escorts and Sierra/Escorts - shame on you sunshine ;)

There's nothing wrong with a good old Ford as long as it is rear wheel drive.

Some of thos Sierra cossies , the 2 door racing ones are extreme fun to drive.

A friend of mine has one in white. Good 500 brake.

First time I went in one of them I nearly had a brown pants moment. Scary with the 2 weel drive. Just spins out everywhere. Really have to know and practice how to control one of those cars. I remember also that it drank £10 of petrol in under 10 mins. Literally just going down the road and coming back. Makes our S4's seem tame (because of the 2wd and the power going through it).

Not something Id have as a daily drive though.

The two guys at Cosworth who did the Sierra Cosworth engine, but not any of the others, were Mario Illien and Paul Morgan, who, together with Roger Penske, started Ilmor Engineering. They make McLaren's formula 1 engines, and have done for years. They're also why Europeans are not allowed in the Indy 500.

Bet they wish they hadn't wasted the effort on something that will rot away ! (Joking...only slightly)
