jmmy1234
47k is a mad amount of money to spend on a ford escort, to be honest you could of bought a lambohghini gallardo on a 2002 plate for that kind of money...... me personally wouldnt of done it but its good to see u have passion about your car

ashley
i think your car is very cool and when i leave school i am going to get a saxo vts

rs1600i
i just want to say to you ppl slagging the car , get a life , i've known ppl spend £90 or more on one night out i think that is crazy ,also ppl that smoke are killing themselves and wasting there money but i don't slate them for it , so why are you ppl so nasty and rude ?? just because someone has a passion and likes to spend there hard earned cash on something they love ??? im a car enthusiast and show a concour's RS1600i and the money it cost's is crazy but both me and my wife love showing car's and spending money on them

ashers

Vio/Marlo

Victoria
I love your car Mark and im half thinking of getting you to take me to my prom!! See you soon x

Ash
i carnt say i see a car that has had £47,000 spent on it looking at the pic's, i too drive modded cars, and adding up rough prices in my head on what things cost just dont seem to add up... looks no different to my mates modded fiesta that has had 10k spent on it..

mark
also for those of you that have asked what my next project will be, its a lotus elise. i wana pimp it out

dan and del
i see you all moan about how much has been spent but bear in mind thats over 5 years and the third time the cars been modified,if you guys tallyed up your motor obessions and expenses over the last 5-6 years youll be just as shocked, its not how much we spend or expecting to gain back what we spent..its how much we enjoy modifying our cars its a hobby that we love like everyone else and are proud of it...so think before you dis him and the car or its just jealously you dont own a car like this..also this time round Marks and Elaine has clearly gone balls out and proved to be the best in britain with best modified car in the uk and with one of the demo car of one of the biggest car audio companys out there so what more can anyone else say but...well done guys!! look forward to seeing it back out at all the shows this season.

JorDee
That's proper sweet man - almost as nice as that Blue Angel I saw winnin a trophy a while back.keep it up!

neil
Typifies Essex in one big fat word - CHAV.Nice, no. Embarrassing, YES.

Ross
I'm not sure if I more impressed with what you've done or the fact that you managed to get £47,000 of mods past the wife! Mine moaned at £100 for respraying the wing mirrors!!

sam
dont hate! he decided to do this i think he could have chosen a better car to spend that dosh on but i have to admit its bl**dy nice, good work man im hoping to show my classic mini when its sorted out and on the road. good luck in future shows

mark
hi im the man who owns the car. thanks everyone for the nice comments and ******* the rest. work hard and then spend it on your cars

Will
Bit O.T.T you see cars like this all the time, nothing special! Bet you couldnt get Ten percent of what it cost when you want to sell it! Shuda brought a brand new Scooby or porche or summit :):):)

lee
hi i am from doncaster and i've seen this escort at the doncaster show in 2007 and it looked proper sweet. i am now 16 and when i get in to my 20s i want something like this but maybe something like an xr3i

coolboy
that is so cool, the best part of it i think is the custom paintjob, the bodykit and the engine block.

tonyy

boroboyben
Hiya all im from a modified car club borocruisers.co.uk, and this car is the mutts nuts, Mark's car is simply the BEST escort cab i have ever seen. It's Marks money so let him spend it on HIS car you don't have to drive it so hush! If this car could be on stand with us at a few shows that would be a real privilege. It should be in Britain's Top 10 Unique cars. And in my opinion that's 47K well spent! Nice one mark and keep us updated ;)

simon
I love the Ford Escort and Mark, well I want it - basically it's a classic

henry
this car is one of the nicest escorts i have ever seen, u below may comment don't understand the whole modding thing, its not about money ist about style and while ur driving ur cheap japanese fuzz boxes around mark is enjoying drivin the quality escort safe in the knowledge that it aint gonna break!! also i bet it goes like....!

kirky
shite its an escort at the end of the day. ad rather ov bought an audi rs4 it look better

james
look mate thats some serious modding but a escort? for 47k it should fly lol

toni
what a total waste of money and he could of picked a better car to do up then an escort how common

Chris
Nob head!! what a waste of money, its a box for taking you from A 2 B really boring I guess

Big Tone
I don't understand the obsession, but it does look good. I must confess to being puzzled as to why you need speakers in the boot though! Mark can spend his money on whatever he would like, that is his business. By the way, some of the spelling in the comments posted is dreadful. They probably say far more about Essex than Mark's car!

Danny
I think he should get a life and think what could have been done with kind of money. too extravagant by far.

Steve Connell
I like the car it is diffrent but 47k is a hell of alot to spend on an escort but at the end of the day its your cash

chris
totaly awsum

dave
ok. fair play with all your mods mate,its not to my taste and to most its an escort, but its well done.now all you need is to do a cosworth conversion and you can realy play.coz it looks all show and no go so far.

Shorty
Mark I think your car looks great. It ain't the best in Britain for nothing, so don't take any notice of those who don't understand. It's unique! X

ralph coates
not worth spending all that money on a daghnam dustbin

steve
i just had to right in as i live 4 doors away from mark & elaine. I have to say mark works very hard must of the time he works 7 days a week. they aiso spend hours cleaning the car; some people wont understand why they do it and some will. if you ever come across mark when he is out in the car go talk to him He is a very nice bloke. you should never judge some one you dont know.

Suzy
Wow your car looks fantastic! The leather interior looks superb, It's money well spent i'd say! It's a shame your married coz your not bad looking yourself. Elaine's a lucky woman!!!!

caroline
your crazy! its only an escort!

simon
i think mark and elaine are very lucky to have a great partnership. i think it looks out of this world good on you both.Be happy and hope to see the car on the raod one . Good luck at the shows

Dens & Gems
We think it's the dogs danglies! And a message to all the non believers out there 'Your Just Jealous Cuz You Can't Afford It'! Nice one Mark & Elaine. xxx

JAMES
WHY NOT BUY A PROPER CAR WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON IT, BIT SAD!!!

David Leonard
awsome job m8 car luks pure class! dnt listern to them people sayin ur stupid, they will never understand the whole car mod scene!

smasher
what a whopper! utter waste of money, should be ashamed of himself, and to be honest the car still looks nothing special apert from a chav mobile!

Pete, The West
47k later and you have an Escort with a telly in it.Has your front room got a handbrake?

Luke
love it!! well deserved hope to see it at the upcoming shows through out this year

robin, southend
Still just a Ford.Loks like mutton dressed as lamb.

Kel
its not my cup of tea but a lot of hard work has gone into this car its what mark likes so who gives a stuff what anyone else thinks

john
some people just crack me upwho in their right mind would spend neally £50000 doing up an escort!!! sort it out mark, your givin people from essex a bad name.

John Gold
I have a 1-door Ka which suits me fine, but then I've spent over £50k on stamps and some people call me sad!

cossie grant
fairplay pal average people will never understand our passion for modding cars or the scene! ur car is not to my taste but can see how much work and passion have gone into it,lots of small minded people out there who cant understand someones hobby,cars are a waste of money? so are pubs,gambling,sports etc but its each to there ownwell done matey

Graham
'CHAV' Could of bought 5 top hypersports motorcycles with the wonga......

Sam
Appreciate it's Mark's hobby but it really does look awful! It's a stereotypical Essex Boys car and I agree with Joe (1st comment), £47k would buy something with a lot more class. They must have something missing in their lives!

Adrian Hull
I think your car looks exceellent. it must of taken you months to look this good

Karl
1.> I cannot believe this guy spent £47K on a Ford Escort. He could have bought a very nice car for that.2.> Have the panel of judges who voted this car the best modded car in Britain left primary school yet?3.> Message to his wife - "You poor woman!"

Tanya Turner
Love the car would love to get my car up to his standard and compete with him for trophies. Not many women have passion for cars but i have, i'll raise to his challenge.

Ethan
For 47K he could have bought a decent car. He'll not get over 5K for that when he sells it.

Joe
Personaly I would have bought a bmw 3 series convertible maybe a 3.35i sport.Is mark going to get his money back when he goes to sell it?

Brain
Well done.Nice car

Yumma
What an eejit!

Jason Pye
Well done Mark!
