Why is this getting over complicated? <Modified or not is totally irrelevent in this case. The Masarrati driver in this case assumed it was an old Ford and therfore insignificant and was promptly shown otherwise. That imho IS the point and why I love my old Escort. So many people under estimate what it is and what it can do. Certainly there are a good few cars out there that have shown me a clean set of back tyres but then I've equally humbled a good few as well
