Serious bit of kit got to love the oldskool man👍🏽B💥NGER👍🏽Sick vlog rick keep them cuming bruva🔥
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
@@bigmatt2896 i totally agree mate , this car should have got a bit more attention 😍 , as always great vid dude 🔥👌
Another awesome vid!!!! Remember back in the day when my old man had one and it frightened the shit out of me. I’ll have one in the garage one day. 😉
That is a serious car!!!!
Back in the 90’s we had cheap Cosworths and decent ecstasy.
Just saying.
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Best comment I've seen😂
ecstasy is stronger now
@@slonky821 no it isn't!
@@slonky821 nope.
Very few cars can be labelled truly ‘legendary’ the Escort Cosworth is one..
Deffo bro deffo👍🏽👍🏽
Definitely 👍🏼
Just the word cosworth in general
Looks amazing too
Anyone old enough to know about this car will tell you what a legend it is.
"When does boost come in?"
".....when it wants" 😂😂😂
"I'm Frowum Glowuscester. I've been theyur fouur ten yeauurs."
"Your a mechanic aren't you"
"Yea, when I get home I check the wheel nuts and stuff" 🤣
CCB TV 😂😂😂 I read this comment before that bit of the video 😂
@@Baroldinho1 🤣
Lol but the speed it hits. Needs to check the wheels ain’t coming loose from turbo boost vibration
I think when your playing with 750bhp, it’s sensible to periodically check things are tight!
@@KING0SISQO basics
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.
Nothing like coming home after a 12 hour shift blanking the misses and kids and watching LLF #Priorities
Shame on you
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! :-)
I've been in a 550bhp Escos, that was insane.
This must be on another level 🤯
We need more of your vids Adam 👍
Luke compact working on them for you 😊
Arite Chris 👍🏼
Hey Adam!! Just seen these comments to you so jumped across to your channel,content looks great!!..Got yourself another subscriber!!😉👌
trevmartin4 thanks. Welcome to my party 🥳
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
That straight cut whine! 🤤
Absolutely mega car 👌🏻
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.
How does Ricky make a 11 minute video feel like 3 minutes? Unreal.
Without fail
@Joel Berry Exactly, amen brother.
I'm telling you Ricky & Rory
Miguel Santiago So true - I was thinking the exact same then saw your comment!
I didnt notice until i read your comment.
This is epic, I've not seen a cossie pushed this far, props to the owner,
His sons got a super car level cossie waiting for him 👌
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!
One of the most important cars ever made....it changed the game forever
@Joel Berry good point mate....but the cossie will go down in history
ST220? lol
@Joel Berry ST220 come on now mate lol jesus 😂😂
@Joel Berry didn't know it was AWD?
Lotus Carlton is up there too
This cacks all over most of the new shit in my personal opinion. A real legend of a car, one for a person who likes to feel the road.
Even looks as good and I'm a fan of new cars. New interiors are better but this car from the outside with its performance looks the dogs
All day everyday!
I can't explain that feeling to anyone.
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
rajiv vadgama yep fully agree, nothing today beats that old skool feel...Kids of today don’t know what they missed out on
I prefer the normal video format , just seems more professional. Still great car ricky ! any updates on arthurs ttrs?
I love the handheld it's abit different
Ttrs waiting on something can't remember what now but nick said won't be too long till it done, check Instagram llfnick he post updates ever so often
Agreed, the original formatting is much better!
Agreed, if he can have the handheld and cut between would be quality
Agreed, just seems a bit more amateur this way! Should have a couple of cams on the car “getaway in Stockholm”style! 😂
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.
04:56 sounds like a damn evil transformer
Mohammed Khan 😂😂 new ringtone
Remember the reason this car feels so fast is because the power to weight ratio. Modern cars have side impact beams in the doors Airbags etc etc..
Guys let's take a minute to appreciate the owners grin when the turbo kicks in
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!!!
When you look down at your phone and see a LLF notification 👌😎
An*
Ricky, hands down the best car to feature on any UA-cam channel, sounds like a 90’s touring car . Keep up the good work fella.
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.🤙🏾
Absolute weapon 🚀
Ricky, you a driver my guy, the look on your face says it all, raw to the core
Best escort cossie I've seen I be happy with a standard one this is in a league of its own top work to the owner
My sons just seen this at Smeathorpe and put me on to this........what a machine!
gotta love the sound of straight cut gears
"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.
There was an xr4i on the street next to me in Doncaster for 250 quid ono ,think it was around 1996
Much love for Dave !!! He knows his onions ! ❤️❤️❤️
This legend of a car deserved a full normal style feature video. Gutted when it ended, what a weapon of a car!!
The one dislike will be from a stock Escort owner 😂
I mean the stock one will be worth more.........i doubt they'd be mad, probs just 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
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🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡
I remember seeing one of these dus out a fed car in the 90s 🔥🔥
A B used to have them in my home town and a 3 door scooby
My boss is a ex police officer and he had one in the 90’s haha
I had a couple in the early 80s good cars
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.
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 👍🏼
Spot on. The usual format is very easy to watch and relaxing
DILLIGAF definitely positive elements, but the first few minutes felt like hard work. 👍🏼
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.
How could you not click on that notification!!!🔥
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
NEVER HAVE I EVER CLICKED ON AN LLF VIDEO SO FAST IN MY LIFE!!!!! GASSED AINT THE WORD!!!!!
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!!
Love the big brake kit. Looks amazing!
Nothing in my mind is a supercar killer more than a well tuned cozzie 👌👌
6:14 - Looking green geezer! hahaha
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
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 ?? 😂
Dude the smile on your face, is anough to express the hole power band of the car and the pure joy. Just a awsome car👌
Need a big power sapphire or 3 door on here too
Totally agree 👍🏻
Unbelievable 🤩 Golden era. This car is something very very special.
Great vid keep it up Ricky
Absolute chaos ! She rips
So many iconic shapes to this car, the oval pipe, the wing, the arches, never gets old. 👌
I wouldn't let u drive my cossie either😂😂
@Joel Berry you need a psychiatrist
Raw old school car doing the busines with some up to date tuning and love😍😲😲Owner seems a man with attention to detail. Will watch again. Cheers Ricky.
"Cosie" (Jeremy Clarkson voice)
The whine sounds like 'a lady having a crisis' 😂. Makes me laugh when Jeremy says that.
Ferhan Khan Photography “coseh”
@Rowan Cartright you got it! Seem to remember Clarksons Escort was quoted at £20k to insure in the early 90s...
@@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
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👊
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.
Can see this vid becoming one of the most popular on the channel just like Abz Golf R32. This is defo a keeper
2 seconds in already know this is gonna be a banger
Got so so so much RESPECT for these cars my teens❤ nice one bro🥊
The guy he over took at 4.56 will never forget that moment
Sounds like a podracer
When I was 17 yrs old in 1998 my Renault 5 turbo was what started the obsession
raider
Liked before watching
When Ricky turns green and lost for words.........
Ford Escort Cossi!!! ❤❤❤ dream car from being a kid! Nice vid and an awesome car!
ford said: small turbo
this man said: hold my beer
Has to be the best Ford Escort Cosworth this channel will see. Beast of a car 👌🏾
When does boost come on? "...when it wants to."
lmao, great video!
Literally nobody:
Screamer pipe when wastegate opens up:"CAAAN YOUUU HEEEEAR MEEE?"
SO GOOD❤️
You can tell by looking at him he loves Fords lol. Got that dodgy ford guy look down to a T
You know hes got one of them calendars in his garage with trashy birds in it with massive fake tits lol
@@Jimskateuk He's a GEEZER
You can bet hes got a work van wiv a huge turbo in the thing 🤣
Ain’t no dsg or auto that’s beating that amount of fun and how it feels to drive it. What a classic beast 😍 PROPER LUSH
Do another video on this beast that was to short 🔥🔥
Ricky you should put a little go-pro above the drivers shoulder but mount it facing inwards, simply attach it to the plastic above the door, then you have a boost cam you can switch to !
I live in the US and it's a dream of mine to import one of these over here and own one.
They're around in the USA rare but they are there
@@callyse6 yeah I was looking some up. I want the 94 in white.
Me too
I saw one imported a few years ago. Amazing car. Show those dodges how to drive.
Saw this at castle coombe in the past, glad to see its not only built properly its also drove properly too
Who needs drugs😵
The Legend of the Cossie😎
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
What a car 👌👌👌👌 sounds like a Boeing jet taking off 🤣🤣
Nows that's what we are fucking talking about Ricky 👌🏻
I actually thought Ricky was going to throw up at one point.
@Joel Berry you need sectioning
No, this is Patrick
My heart was pounding watching this . Absolute monster of a motor . All the best
0:02 seconds in and already in my head I’m saying yes yes yes.Been waiting to see some cossies.Yes I was born in the 80s the 80s
That is mental! Super clean and puts the power down really nice. Reminds me of Getaway in Stockholm!
Theres a Escort cossy in Wolverhampton with a Sequential gear box, moves like lightning 😂
By far the better channel to watch
If I had to have one car for the rest of my life, regardless of value... THIS exact car would be the one.
Agreed and the 911 widow maker
Revs for days! That sound is so pure. Raw power
Flamespitting cossy 😍
Big Dave!!! Legend this guy!👍 Great vid Ricky, you should of got to drive it😢 would of loved to see that....
Wonder if he keeps mr jingles in the glovebox...
Dale 😂
Nailed it 😭
JT STEALTH 😂
He’s living one of my biggest dreams! Great video as usual 👍🏻
So bummed I didn’t see this being filmed like 10 mins from my house :(
Ben B where is it? I swear i recognise the car and the roads?
Around Westbury
Greg Around Frome mate.
CarlosFandango yeh roads between westbury and frome, the car park they shot the intro shots in I was in on Saturday 😩😩 missed em by like a day
If money was no object it wouldn’t be a lambo or Bugatti, it would be this or the Sierra, and everyone knows you can’t pick between the two
Loving the Cossie... One of the best Cars Ford ever build 😍
Not as nice and quick as the ford fusion
@@motomash6143 Sure but in the 90's the Cossies where amazing and this one is right from Hell 😂
Old School BOOOOOOSST
Absolute ICON of a car 😍😍😍 old school power over new school power every day of the week for me...👌
I still shed a tear over selling mine years ago :(
I'll never able to afford one ever again - fml
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!!!
@@welloilbeefhooked4984 I've also sold series 1 and series 2 Scort RS Turbos :(
How much you sell for and how long ago?
@@mmaworld552 £14k in the early 2000s
Ditto 😥
For the new video method, i'd personally recommend doing the normal side of it for conversation and general driving, but do handheld for the pulls
That cossie is insane
