Finnish rally driver turned politician, apparently
Enjoys a hot tub with Hollywood actors.I have been inform by a Focus Diesel driver that all Porsches are terrible to drive.
Although this same individual claims to have reached 220mph on a GSXR, as a pillion, on the road.

I was driving the other day with the mother in the passenger seat and past an oncoming Porsche 918. I was quite shocked by seeing one of these and found myself blurting out 'Look at that 918!!!'
My mother's reply was 'It looks just like your father's car'
.........my father drives a BMW 330.

As she is a woman she was probably looking in totally the opposite direction to you and did see a bimmer and didn't see the Porsche at all My mother's reply was 'It looks just like your father's car'

Yeah, someone at work recently said this to me. He drives a 1.3 Mitsubishi Colt and said "the Porsche we have in is horrible to drive - really heavy and you sit low down. It's awful". Jesus wept.Also my girlfriend was drunk last week and I picked her up in her own car. She said "what's happened to my car? I can't see the speedometer! "
I said "you're sitting in the passenger seat, normally you're in the driver's seat..."

I was in Halfords not long ago and a middle aged woman asked a worker for a windscreen wiper for her Ford Ka - who pronounced it as "K. A." which made me grin and think 'ah bless'.
PS. it is pronounced like 'car' isn't it?
I've always pronounced it 'K.A'PS. it is pronounced like 'car' isn't it?

Infact, I'd say you'd have more of a grounds to complain if she'd said Ford 'car'

On the KA advert, the guy pronounces it like car but with a very feint 'r'... More like Kah.

I think Ford should be the definitive answer to the "how to say Ka" debate.I still say K.A though.

Ford seem to like using annoying names like this, and the Kuga and Cougar...
Some people pronounce Ford Ka and Ford K A, surely that belongs in here?
It is a capital 'K' small 'a', therefore Ford Ka.
There would need to be punctuation or spacing and both letters in caps for it to be Ford K A.
I don't understand why people struggle with that, even Ford have told you it's Ka.
