Top five favorite Esc Cos's
Tough one, and I'll probably edit it once you lot start remembering better ones 
In no particular order
1. K44 ACE originally Mark Shead own car, was very fast, very mint and probably one the best all round road Esc Cos there is. Clarkson vid was cool aswell
2. Martin Hadlands original Reyland Cossie remember being at a daddy thrash at brunters and watching it get launched over and over again
3. Efe's Aubergine beauty. The performance Ford feature was very influential to me, loved the spec and detail that had gone into the car
Could only find a engine pic
Someone get me a pic please
4. The repsol WRC car.. the best rally livery ever!
5. Damo's Monte, this car to me is probably the most influencial in different ways, mainly because it used to live around the corner to me in my teens and I would see it all the time with its twin headlights and gold Rondells its looked amazing and made me want a Esc Cos, I never quite understood what the Monte buisness was about as it was the only one I'd ever seen back then Later on in life Damo has also been a influence and reading his thread prompted me to do the work on my Escort myself and try and follow in as much detail as he did

do we have to be limited to 5?
The ones off the top of my head are:
Daves WRC styled Esc - Mainly because it was different!
Damo's - attention to detail
The original Reyland Esc. - Don't really need to say any more!
Repsol WRC - Ditto!
Mike's - ulimate road weapon!
Stian's.. - Pretty much the best parts of all the above rolled into one!
See, I'm on 6 already

My favourite colour Escos is imperial blue, but Mallard green ones look stunning in direct sunlight
