My SportKa

[Spedz]

Now I've put on my small PH smiley on my car.. I thought it necessary to post a quick picture of it up here



Being 18, I needed a small, cheap yet fun car to enjoy hooning around in. I didn't really like Ka's before, but it's grown on me; especially the handling and nippyness of it. I use it purely for A and B roads and it suits me fine!
I sold my old car just before uni.. But soon got bored and just had to explore the Sussex roads. I didn't NEED a car at all, just a massive want.





I enjoy it, laugh off the usual guy-driving-ka etc comments.. and somehow pay less for insurance then people my age for a 1.2!

Oh, and of course..

Great shots.

Great cars just watch out for the dreaded tinworm.
Also lift off over...


Make 'em tough though!

[HereBeMonsters]

Nice. Another car I've always thought I'd own one day.

[minimatt1967]

Great looking little car. Nice first car too.

[The_Burg]

Cool little cars, handle way over the power.
How on earth could it be wrecked?
Huge over handling to power ratio.

Always had a strange softspot for these. Would love one on oem 16" esc cossy rims.

Look good these, a bit different and you don't see too many.

Don't ruin the handling/usability with cossie rims!

They have one of the most benign Chassis set-ups I've ever driven. The liberties you can take it one without it biting are outrageous. I suggest you might be blaiming the car unfairly there.

I like the look of these, bet it's a right riot! Down the road from me at Uni is a silver StreetKa on 3 alloys, 1 space saver, no Tax, no MOT, just sitting looking sorry for itself in a garden... Seems a shame and a waste really..

Aaah, remember you talking about this over lunch after the MINI SS, did your OH drive it home after that..?

[Spedz]

Cheers for all the comments

It does have a bit of cosmetic rust around petrol cap and other spots.. But underneath/sills it's all fine; and as I picked it up very cheap (£1750) I'm not bothered!

It really is a riot to drive too.. Great in any twisties! Tempted to book a 20 minute taster track day, just to test where its limits lie
Friend of mine took the pictures, which I'm very pleased with. If anyone in SE Kent wants any of their car for free, I can pass him on

ETA: Nicely rolled (?) Batty! The crash-test videos are pretty grim for the Ka too

I like it too - looks fun. Wouldn't mind to drive own one at some point

[v64motion]

Looks good, I still love mine 3 and a half years on.

They are huge fun, in terms of smiles per £ these take some beating and loved to be pointed down A and B roads.

Looking at your profile.. Are you also studying here? I'm in need of a hooning partner! Nobody else can ever be bothered!

I'm at Brighton Uni doing Foundation Engineering with Automotive next year.
I have my car every now and then too, purely to enjoy the roads round here! I'm in need of a few tips for the best roads too
Get in touch sometime if you need anyone else for a drive too
