Sorry guys but to be honest to my eyes that escort is just another stance boy special with no redeeming features

I don’t mind the RST but I much prefer Twins from Passionford effort.

I have to say the Mk3/4 escort shape is very pleasing to me. I used to have a series 1 RS Turbo and it was a deeply, deeply terrible car. But it looked good.

I'd love that with a RWD conversion.

Apparently a 1st gen Corvette...

That is just sublime.

Also loving the lunacy in the MX5 Hellcat. And that ridiculously tidy Mk1 Celica.

Might be a controversial entry for the thread but I think this firmly sits in the "batst insane" class of modified cars...

A FSM Niki (Fiat 126p) with the original 650cc air-cooled 23hp engine replaced with a blown 4.0L V8! rofl

The Aussies seem to be really into these burnout shows; have for years. Don’t get it myself...

Imagine seeing them trying to drive that though. It would probably be somewhere between hilarious and horrific. A 126 that could beat anything on track though....that would be fun.

Long time ago now but I seem to recall a Fiat 126 drag car competing at Pistonfest 2003? Crashed into the wall? Anyone else remember that or am I just getting old and suffering poor memory?

Hellcat MX5...

A traditional supercharger coming out of the bonnet looks cool in an old school way but this looks unfinished. Don't like it.

I think if it was _just_ the supercharger it would look awesome but that shonky great big air filter thrown on the side without any effort to tidy it all up just looks naff.

I actually think it would look better entirely without a bonnet.
