1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth from UK and Ireland - Comments

Wiper arm, caliper piston, master cylinder.

Great for hammering those roundabouts! I find myself looking out the passenger side window....

Downside is every boy racer wants to race you in his shopping trolley.

I find the boy racer problem very annoying. I usually let them get about 100 yards ahead of me in their Nova SR or some other piece of crap. I then hammer it and show them why people who drive Porsche's are afraid of Cossie's, especially a 460bhp 4x4.

I can imagine how you feel about the boy racer problem, but I must make a point. I don't believe that they want a race for the simple fact that a Cosworth would beat a nova/fiesta any day. They are simply trying to provoke you to drive fast because they like and admire your cars, and want to see how they go and sound etc. Most boy racers would like to aspire to own a Cosworth one day, so count yourself lucky!

I can understand the boy racer thing totally and I believe most of them DO actually believe their silly little shopping cart cars are quick. I had a similar problem with my Saab Carlsson.

To be honest I learned the best thing to do was to ignore them although at times it can be difficult.

As a bike rider I must say that we love our machines and the way they look, sound, go etc.. I would absolutely love a Cossie and love to see them being driven fast but well. Cars of the last few years are so bland and are actually no quicker than a Cossie was when it was in production and that is why it is exciting to see a great car putting down the power. You'll be able to tell which ones appreciate the car and the others that don't by the way they keep and drive their own machines.
