a car like this should have had the full review from you buddy, the new style is ok and will suit some lesser cars but something like deserved more in my opinion. loving the content though ricky so keep up the good work
PurgatoryVLM it’s psychology, really. It’s more information for your grey mass to process and if you like driving and know what you doing it provides more joy
Glad the owner modifies and rips his car especially in the winter is a true car enthusiast!! Hats off to him and ricky i hope this makes you buy a classic beast car🙏💯🔥❤️
Cars with high boost pressure actually run better in the winter, especially diesels, the air is more dense and humid in winter, only problem is tyre temperature and grip, brakes cool down alot faster too in cold weather which means less brake fade when your rallying through country lanes...also the clutch and turbo is alot less likely to overheat in the winter.
I keep coming back to this video - never fails to bring a smile to my face. The car is insane and the moments where you’re just in awe/taking the whole thing in at certain times just makes it. A proper honest and enjoyable video.
I think this is one of the coolest modified cars in the country, love seeing this up at Combe! Big power, lightweight, AWD with a sorted box and front and rear diffs! Big up the old school tuner builds Dave! :-)
happy with either format Ricky...great video....almost felt how quick the car was just through your reactions! Straight cut box, no boost control options....just full boost all of the time!!!! my kind of car, simply badass!! I salute thee!
This comment is for you Dave ... It is Dave Anderson and brad... Thanks for all the work you done .... Load's of memories ..... Keep the love for them Ford's up 🏭 old Granada survives warminster lol
@Joel Berry Not saying i agree with the pricing but they're not making any more are they. They'll always hold that nostalgia for the generation that grew up with the posters on the wall and as such the price will likely remain high, though I do feel it will level off. 45k for a current minter
@Joel Berry that bubble aint gonna pop lol the end of production petrol and diesel cars is just on the horizon lol and you think the price gonna go down. 😂😂 they are only going to get more expensive as time goes on and some cars get even more rarer. even lil cars that might be common rust buckets today might become rare and collectable because of the end of petroleum fueled cars.
@Joel Berry They arent over the top in price i dont believe. If you converted the price of one of these new into todays money it's probably 50k plus, so a nice clean low mileage one i see no reason why it shouldnt be worth more than that as there are far less of them around now than when new.
@Bat man here in the uk the ban on petroleum fueled production cars comes into effect by 2031. theyll be no more production diesel or Petrol powered cars allowed to be made after 2031. thats 11 years away. the aim is to go zero emissions by 2040. that means the end of hybrids by 2040 because they still have a petroleum fueled engine. they want totally zero emissions electric cars by 2040 2050
Savage car, them straight cut gears sound incredible as well, absolute beast. I'm a Ford man at heart it got me a bit emotional lmao. I'd love to see another video on this but twice as long with some proper footage of some flat out pulls aha. The owner seems like a crackin bloke as well who truly appreciates his car. Incredible motor
4:30 until around 6:00 is just unbelievable - seeing your face like that just shows this thing is an absolute monster! I love rewatching it. The uncontrolled smirk at 5:55 mins says it all really.
That was f@£€ing outstanding!! The sensation of speed in this video was epic! Felt like I was there at certain points! What a weapon! Great vid mate! Thanks LLF!!
One of the sickest looking cars Ford has ever made, so damn rare nowadays. Props to this guy for modding it coz I guarantee a stock one in good condition is worth a fortune. The noise it makes when you open her up is👌. Sick vid once again bro, man like Ricky.🤙🏾
Great video, definitely prefer the other format though. This one feels a bit ‘rushed’. Not rushed as in the quality, but when you’re watching it you feel rushed, like a lot going on. Great work though 👍🏼
Awesome as usual but for me the format is too hectic / busy I like to hear about the car separate , but I’ve got about 10 subscribes soooo 😂 and is he key banging that ?? 😂
Thought this was a 360° camera at first, I'm swinging my phone round the kitchen trying look out the back window of the car. WE NEED 360° CAMERAS ON LLF!!!
"How can you want more power than this?" Pretty much sums up everything😀 Appearance-wise it looks fabulous too, especially that dually on the back, similar to on the old XR4TI.
@@richardbaker696 I'm sure of remember hearing these were quicker or near as the ferrari released around then. Just shows how nuts cosworth went with this and the sierra
@ Zain K Yeah I think they were supposed to be 220ish BHP from factory 0-60 in 5.5 secs, so something like a Ferrari 348 wouldn't have been much quicker. It's the fact they were detained rally cars built for the road, so their potential has always been massive, as this car proves
Respect ! back when cars looked liked how cars should look and when you felt proper connection between the road and the machine. Modern cars are so heavy even hatchbacks ruins the experience
Beast!!! I love the sound, an old friend of mine had a 275 bhp Saphire cosworth that felt rapid back in the 90s, I'd love to feel what this is like🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡
true what Ricky's saying about different dynos, I remember watching this one guy who thought he had an M4 that made over 700bhp, turns out it was mid 600's, can't remember his name though.
Michael Zak exactly! These old YB engines are legendary for big power...I can’t remember seeing a cosworth with a turbo this big. And it’s built to run and handle the power, head work big pistons rods. All these dsg Audi’s look too easy to drive this thing scared the shit out of Ricky enough said
It’s not just different dynos giving different results even looking at 2 cars that are 500bhp... if one peaks out at 4k rpm and tails off towards higher revs and one comes in later but increases and peaks towards the limiter it will feel/pull/accelerate so much better throughout the gears.
Cartoon fast They were bonkers mental to insure when they 1st arrived on the scene. Remember seeing 1 in a service station when they were just out and fell in love on the spot. Thanks again Ricky and to the Owner for sharing his cherished brief.
Nice one Dave 👊great to see the cossie smoking round Granada👌 Back in the day DP motorsport tuned my escort rs turbo and it flew . Top man awesome car👊
Saw the word cossie and auto finger kicked in,awww I love my auto finger. And the digi boost numbers going up and up in time with the hiss of the turbo and then Pop pop pop pop pop,as they hit warp speed. Dude I been with you from day one and all I can say is fucking progress is a beautiful thing bro.
First time I ever got pulled over was by an unmarked escort cosworth . The two coppers where absoloutly sound and let us have a proper look round it . Always been one of my all time faveroute cars . This one is amazing
Different style vid like back to the basics the car though wow real credit to the driver he has built a weapon awesome ... Ricky you been churning these out for time and you know what there are guys out there going the same but falling to the wayside. You just keep finding these great cars and driver's ... Your the new Top Gear for anything and everything worth documenting. Love it
You can just tell this guy knows his onions. Long time honed machine. It sounds amazing and very solid. I bet it’s been a lot of trial and error but when you find a good engineer / engine builder - this is the result. Sooo fast!!
I think most people who have owned RS's years ago regret selling them as there all worth loads now. I regret when I was selling my mk1 Focus RS back in 2005 for £17k, a guy wanted to swap his 50k mile 3 door Sierra Cosworth plus £8k in cash for my FRS and I kindly rejected because the Sierra was to old for my liking!! That 3 door is probably worth £25k+ now!!!
ONE OF THE MOST SAVAGE CARS YOU'VE ENTERTAINED ON THE CHANNEL SO FAR , JUST NOT LONG ENOUGH BRO , THIS KIND OF FLAVOUR MAKES ME PROUD TO BE BRITISH, BIG UP MR DUCKWORTH AND Mr COSTIN, AND YOU SIR ,SMASHING IT LIKE NO OTHER👊
what a supreme beast and scary fell it gave in the video like its not a joke car and owner was a pro.-well-done Ricky once again enjoy your week looking forward to your next epic master skilled content thank you best on youtube
