Fun fact, I own a Ford KA, she was produced in 2008 and she's barely got any rust. 1.3L engine, and she handles like a large gokart in my opinion. This model is the '97 to '08 model, same as shown in the video, but it's the most base model version you can get. No aircon, plastic bumpers, steel wheels, etc. The only buttons, other than an aftermarket stereo, are for a heated rear windscreen and rear fog lights.

Not fast by any means, max speed is 92 mph. Takes forever to get to 60 mph, but you can quite happily cruise at 60 or above once you get there. As a 19 year old guy with this KA as my first car, I think it's brilliant. Almost wish I could find a honda to race, just to see if the fart box could beat my little KA, but I dont have any good racing roads around my area, plus the honda would probably thrash a stock KA. Who knows?

One amusing thing is that the KA is technically faster than the fiesta with the same engine, due to being smaller and lighter, yet it's got cheaper insurance. Costs me £163 per month to insure my KA, would have cost me over £225 per month to insure a fiesta with the same engine lmao

The grave stone is sponsored by Kove Speakers...
Imagine, hundreds of years down the line people would be looking at that stone and thinking "what the fuck".
By the way, 1987. An excellent vintage that ;)
