Our `Modified Car Video Competition` in association with CarThrottle
In February, we announced that we were running a 'Modified Car Video Competition' in association with CarThrottle. Since then, we've had many entries and we're still deciding on the best modified car video. The winner will WIN £500 + the car will be chosen to have the full CarThrottle Video Review treatment by CarThrottle’s very own Alex Kersten.
We thought now would be a good time to show you some of the entries we've had. Take a look at just how modified some of these cars are...
