Is this a stupid thing pedantic grammar nazi non-petrolheads argue about?
I don't think many petrolheads give two hoots either way, it's not as if there are any mentalbd editions to get excited about.
Petrolheads may not care, but this is Pistonheads. Everyone cares about grammar and pronunciation!I don't think many petrolheads give two hoots either way, it's not as if there are any mentalbd editions to get excited about.

I've always said "K-A".
Ford seem to like using annoying names like this, and the Kuga and Cougar...
mind you they've also come up with some corking names which gives them some credit...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.
I should hang my head in shame, but for a good few months I also thought that it was the Porsche KN (and not Cayenne)!It is a capital 'K' small 'a', therefore Ford Ka.

1990s era Vauxhall that. Cavalier I think.
My first thought was a mk3 Astra , the switch is the same but it's the headlight adjuster being in line that is throwing me. As far as I remember a Cavalier had the headlight adjusters above the fog light buttons.

Good thing it isn't an engine ejector really.

Same switch arrangement as a Corsa B, although the dash looks different.
Not so much a 'what they said' but a 'what they did' - found this on Facebook....
Prestige Motor Services - "We recently had an Audi TT 3.2 V6 because of an engine issue...The guys opened it up and this is what we found. This is the worst engine we have ever seen. Judging by the service manual it looks to have been 83,296 miles since the last service."
A testament to Audi engineering that the thing was running at all !
