Well.. Jocelijne has a new set of wheels...
a W-reg Ford Ka Collection

It's a nice car, drives well.. and it's younger than mine!!

But 2 cylinders less, and a third of the power

very nice had a escort that colour years ago why white wheels ?

looks like a nice little motor as well

McOlaf · #3 06-09-10, 20:04

Why white? Because they were hand painted black ( got it without the alloys ) and that looked bad..

white wheels makes it a bit nicer

Looks very nice mate, I bet she's well chuffed with herself!

Yes she is, but the first thing she said when she took it to the open road ( A9 ) it's so slow, and sounds different... hahah sorry sweety, nothing beats a V6... okay, it uses double the fuel, but is more than double the fun.. but having said that it's a nice drive for around town.. pretty nippy with the old skool OHV engine...

They're not bad.. Is it the 1.3 endura engine?

Having to do the tappets every god dam service was annoying! lol.

First thing I did when it was cooled down from the 134 mile trip home ( bought it in Dundee ) damn it was noisy... but it's easy enough to do it.. half an hour job.... only needed a new exhaust, and got that for a bargain of eBay...
