Just about every time I get on the M1 (once a month) a Ka comes flying
past me at about 95mph. Flat out all the way.

Trying to catch up my old modified micra no doubt.
108mph out of a 1 litre no less!!!
Bwahahahahahaha!!!!
GPS or speedo reported?

That seems crap compared to what i'm playing with now.

And of course, you can probably get a Sportka for less, too...

And i bet the sportka is substantially heavier than its "roofed" sister.
=== Slower.


Streetka even. But then you don't buy this sort of vehicle for speed, if it
were that quick, who'd see you posing in it?
I'd want it to be quick so no-one _could_ see me in it.

You could take some kind of cream for that problem?

I had the mk1 "gps3" unit made by garmin at the time, the one
with the whole country in it, and loads of user adjustments.
I think the latest equivalent has a colour display and cdrom
or internet upgrade facility.

Gps reported b.t.w

I sometimes wish that when i'm stuck in traffic in the ax.
The only chance it gets to redeem itself is when its out
on the open road.
Bloody tough clutch as well, at least you can use "m" mode
with the handbrake in the beemer when you are stuck in traffic.
Ax= motorway cruiser.
730i= town car.
