Saul

​glad to see you back in ford

What happened to the van?

Hi Saul, back meself after an inconspicious abscence lol. Youll be glad of the little Ka for the winter. I did several winters on bikes when i was a young fella. Bits of you cold that you didnt think could get cold.....rofl

Same here, been away a while lol

Anyway as the man says...what happened to the van?

Hey all missed ya all :P

Well the van had a very strange accident where the rear axle came off on the left side he shock and leaf spring took most of the underside of the van out on the way and with the lack of control I ended up hitting at tree only was doing about 35 thankfully :)

Saul

Ouch, lucky that you weren't injured in its suicide mission

I was thinking the other day funny enough that you haven't been about for a while, glad your okay! Shame about the van! Was anyone else involved in the accident?

Thanks guys, Nope was 4am on my way to work up the country lanes (was going uphill a lot that's why only 35mph the van wouldnt go any faster haha) just me and a tree were bit battered up but all good again :)

Except my knee clicks a lot now hahahah

Saul

Sounds like you had a lucky escape there! It just goes to show that depending on your beliefs there definitely is "something" out there, be it God or just luck, as the axle could have easily gone whilst you were traveling at 60MPH on a busy road with on-coming traffic.

Had to do some work on the car, changed the powersteering pump and had to do some impressive bodging ;)

Then fitted body coloured bumpers ready to spray the car :D

Saul

Good luck spraying the car! Will you be doing it yourself or getting a professional to do it?

Looking at my finances I'll most certainly be buying a Ka or 3-dr Fiesta when I pass my test, they are the only vehicles with low enough insurance.

I'll probably be doing it myself matey, it's not to bad tbh started a little already, kind of one part at a time at the moment haha :)

Then starts the work on the performance side :P

Tbh ka's are great little cars can have a lot of fun with them so think you'll enjoy fella :D

Saul

May have done some spraying today ;) I think it looks awesome, matte black and moody looking and im not finished yet by a long way :D

Saul

The first Ka RS500 ever :)

Lol it'll be its own social kind of monster when I'm finished ;)

I found 5 door fiestas to have cheaper insurance.. as they're easier to exit in an accident & they're less likely to be driven by chavs in the insurance companies eyes :)

£2,300!? I could insure a Land Rover for that price! A Ford Ka/Fiesta for me (new driver, 20 years old) would be around £1,800.

That's what happens when a 17year old wants to take pride in his car... It's appalling

And all because of immature idiots driving Vauxhalls.

I hate to say it but I've seen fiestas end up just as bad :(

Hahaha!

Insurance has got to the point now that they'll charge us thousands of pounds, knowing that if we have an accident we'll try our best not to go through the insurance otherwise they'll take even more money off us in the future. it's wrong
