Well after owning numerous cars,the time came to look for something reliable and fairly cheap to run,yet still be fun to drive.I'd already had my fix of fun from the mk2 XR2 before but now I wanted something sensible.
I'd driven a Ka once before and loved it,was impressed with the way it pulled up hills and the way it went round corners.
I started looking at secondhand examples but they all seemed to have something wrong,dents or scratches.I went down to Ford thinking I'd find a better example there.Found a lovely state blue Ka,back home I went to get my dad to come down and have a look that evening.He ended up persuading me to look at a brand new one instead.
I remember reading through the brochures constantly,reading all I could on the web,went in,started telling them what I wanted,thy tried to tell me that there wasn't a glass power sunroof,I insisted that there was and eventually they saw the light.I ended up getting nearly all the options,minus abs and passenger airbag.They then tried to talk me into option and finance but I decided to pay outright in cash,which I think alarmed them a little lol
So after a 3 month wait due to all the options on the Ka I eventually got it.After many attempts by the dealeer to get me to take a different colour or lose the sunroof.I knew what I wanted and here is is,one week old and just returned from its maiden voyage to Newquay,not a bad way to break in a car.

The intention was to keep this car standard,I'd always fiddled with my other cars but this was to remain a standard 2002 Ka Collection.
Oops,6 months later it was rolling on chromed Team Dynamics Monzas that I'd kept from the XR2.A little while longer and I decided the chrome was too much so I resprayed the wheels black.This was how it stayed for anotheer 6 months or so,then I lowered it 35mm with some Pi springs.The car was looking a lot better now.

I then added some smoked rear lights I got off from SykaTurbos old Ka
