I would be lying if I said I don't ever think about selling mine and buying something like a MK2 Focus RS to enjoy every single day instead of 20 days a year........ But every time I go into my garage I just don't think it would be the best decision, the escos is my dream car and if I hold out then maybe I can have both in a couple of years1995 Escort RS Cosworth (Gone but not forgotten)

I have noticed over this past few years that every time I have a bit of money in the bank something happens that I need to spend it on that I don't want to spend it on, that's why these days I spend it as soon as I earn it lol.

Ive always said these cars are great but there by no means God status. I cant understand why some owners say they would like a car they can drive every day......well the ESCOS is just that. Its what we did before the Focus Rs's etc came on the scene.
I think part of the love hate relationship with these cars is self inflicted....no one seems to want to drive them anymore. I can understand to a point the "it will loose value" argument, but so will any other car.
My advice always has and always will be just drive it and enjoy it. Put right what goes wrong and repair any cosmetic damage when it needs it. After all its not an RS500 or RS200 which were limited in numbers.
There should be a new years mantra on here.

Any info on the 96 plate on rsoc, I can't see the add, I'm not a paid up member!! On that note I have a focus rs 500 (I know it's a Volvo) but I really want what you all have, I can prob buy a Porsche, r8 etc etc but is rather have two rs's in the garage that prob won't lose too much money and sell easier if I need too!
