I was standing there with all my mates we were all taking photos cos we were in stiches over it, then some other lad asked if what the system sounded like,
So.... He turned it on and it sounded even worse than it looked !
He should have called it the treble escort

I'd say it is worse. The Escort looks like a child was let modify it. We made a point of walking past it quickly it's that bad. If you stood near it long enough you'd probably come away covered in fucking stickers.

Had a look at it and it was rammed with everything under the sun but sounded awful and had less bass in it than my runabout (which as i'm on a bicycle at the mo is my MP3 player). He loves it and seems to get a lot out of doing it so let him crack on I reckon.

What I could not understand, was things like that should not be allowed to enter the concourse competition/section at all. It may be done for a joke, but regardless - it was shit beyond belief and wasn't even fit to park on the grass on the way in, let alone be in the concourse part. 90% of the show cars were so much better!

i've seen that at previous shows and thought it was quite good - obviously a lot of work gone into it

That Orion is a bit of a staple of the shows now, I think people would notice if it wasn't there!

It's got quite a lot of "bolt-on" stuff (tat) that I wouldn't ever do, and some interesting colour schemes, but the trailer is well done, it's a bit of a laugh, and I don't mind it being parked a few cars down from mine

That escort however.... dear god
