Not my thing, have seen this getting slated all over the place, some proper harsh words said about car and owner. All I say, is that if it makes him happy, then good luck to him, he's lucky to be in the position to spend that sort of money. The article was the usual Sun crap getting the facts all wrong but oh well.

The finish has always been outstanding on that car though, so fair play to the chap

this is true, but no one in there right mind would shed 47k on a mk5 escort.

But just cos you all like lots of power, doesn't mean he does?

I agree, he is pretty mad for spending that much on an Escort cab, but it's his money, if big bodykits and big stereos are his thing, then that's up to him.

I just think it's a bit out of order for all the abuse to be flying about just cos it's not what you'd spend 47k on.

Oh, and the reason it's cost that much is cos it's in it's third evolution and labour for bodywork etc soon adds up, especially if you have it done about 3 times over.

I'm sure plenty of people would say people are wasting their money on making a Cossie do 180+ MPH, doesn't make it right or wrong.

He's doing what he enjoys, good luck to the bloke. May not be to everyone's taste, but doesn't give anyone the right to just chuck mindless insults anyone's way

As per above, ive seen just as mad money wasting on here.

I wouldnt do it, no way in hell, not my style of car at all, but thats money spent over a great number of year, it all adds up, will be a lot of people here spent a lot more over the years than that.

I know the guy n his mrs, they sound, he just does it as he enjoys it, not into performance in the slightest.

Fair play to em, i mean, they obv got better things to do with their lives than sit on computers at home and slag people off on internet forums
