SUPER RARE FORD SIERRA COSWORTH ROUSE SPORT 304R - OWEN DRIVES HIS FIRST COSSIE

We didn't get the chance to drive the RS500 in our last video and Owen was chomping at the bit to give a Cosworth a go.
Big Lee Stevens let Owen drive a rarer Cosworth than the RS500. God this Sierra Rouse 304R throws you back to the naughties.

Great video, love Cosworths, they were working class boy racer cars, Cossies's RS turbo's, Renault 5 Turbos etc. Etc were boy racer cars , was a time when cruising was fun back in 90s,now it's all about people wanting status symbol Audi and BMWs on Finance to prove a point to the Neighbours

Another Essex Boy Racer here that used to be a hot hatch driver back in the 90s. Used to love Southend and racing people round Chelmsford and Colchester. Great times! I fought hard against the Essex/Ford rep so i used to be a Vauxhall man with my GTEs (1.8 and 2.0 16v) I had the subs blaring out The Prodigy and went to Max Power weekends and Bug Jam (had a couple of Beetle owning mates too) I miss the 90s bigtime, it was the best time to be in my teens and into my twenties.

Going back to the late 80s and early 90s I was lucky enough to have a mate only 19 at the time who had a well paid job at shell as a technician and bought a moonstone blue 2dr cosworth new and had it chipped to around 340bhp astronomical at the time.. Yes we had a blast and great memory's. Awesome channel and videos lads 👍

[@exgtt2061]

Used to have fun trying to keep up with these in my old R5 GT Turbo. Always got beat but the sound of roaring 4inch exhausts and dump valves will always stay with me. I was sensible and only ran 14psi but that saw me at 150 odd bhp and 180ftlb. The car was under 800kg so was nippy to 80. Am stunned by current pricing, I'd have another in a heartbeat but £12k+ for anything worth having stings a bit. I bought mine for £600 and went halfs with a mate on a £450 one with a blown head gasket. If there is a car id kill for from that era - R5 GT Turbo Benneton edition (5 or so made by Renault dealer in Leeds) cant even find a picture of one now.
