Default £47,000 Ford Escort Cabriolet

If you're in the East turn on Inside Out on BBC1. Not long now and you'll see Mark's little beauty. Quote: "I just wanted it to be the best".
Now some people really are crazy.

I saw the trailer bit to that on Look East...

Everything thats wrong with car modification in one place, on quite possibly one of the cars with the worst possible reputation - the Escort Cab....

Style, Taste, Class, Performance.... how to fail on every single point

I had the misfortune to watch it!

It wouldn't have looked out of place on Barryboys.

What a pile of cr*p. £47,000 on an Escort!

Put it this way, the bodywork touched the floor the whole way round the car!

I watched this last night, can't believe you could spend that much on a car for it to look like that. The bloke could have had a very nice 993 turbo for that kind of cash with change. Liked the bit where they invited comments from a couple of Escort club members, they properly slated it in front of him. But as the owner said, it's his money and he's harming no-one, so as long as he's prepared to take the 'abuse' fair play to the bloke

I remember watching the North East news a few years ago. Some bloke spent £35k on Mods on a £30k Audi S3.
