Default 3 favourite modified cars ever?

Whats yours? Not ford specific any make any model.

For me it's got to be-
Martins new escort,
Sean Bicknell's Exige in its new war paint as that looks awesome and is properly a tool,
Stian's Escort as it just rocks in every way.

Max Powers Project Thunder--Its what got me into cars and i still think it is a mega car



Martin Escort Cosworth-The one that held the top speed record, Gumball and the caravan tow, that is until the new one is read




Ian's 3DR Cosworth--Truely stunning and a properly built car in all aspects

There's tooooooo many to list imo! lol

But if I HAD to:

Old Reyland Escort (Gumball spec as above)

Bailey's Mk2 Cosworth

Stians WRC Escort

All stunning cars, but I do love Ron Kiddell's R32, the new Norris Evo 9 (SWB) and A1 Rallysport's RWD Focus was stunning! Loved Sean B's old Polaris Grey Escos too lol
