You can keep those fake buttresses.

Vtec it.

Jamie Kitman, along with James Rupert and some other bloke called James May were the reasons I bought Car with my tiny pocket money in the early 90's.

As I under stand it, the first gen Ka was heavily based on the Fiesta. The SportKa, and its sibling the StreetKa were revisions of the same design with different suspension, brakes, diff and engine, most of which had also come from the fiesta.

Next time one of the Jalopnik team are in Europe or the U.K. I absolutely recommend you hunt a good Ka (SportKa if you can) down and drive it. It’s a bloody brilliant little thing.

Also, generally speaking you’d have to be making a Bellend of yourself to get done without the ‘advised’ ten percent plus two. I do 80,000 miles a year and I rely on the rule to keep me in a job.

Anyone who’s qualified to explain to myself and my right honourable friend here, the difference between statute and prosecution?

Spot on. Though I would say that if you are, let’s say, hurried enough to find yourself in a speed awareness course they will quote the 10% +2 at you all day.

I believe our mutual friend ChuckyBoy has already found the relavent link.

Just to at least try to address all of the armchair critics of how draconian/centralised/not free the UK is, the law is you get caught at and above speed limit + 10% +2mph.

That’s why the law allows 10% +2mph.

I’m late to the party,but I’ve brought this:

You are correct. I realise that I’ve implied that, I apologise. I guess what I’m getting at is that they are both anarchic, but one relies on total selfishness, the other, total selflessness.

As we say in the U.K., ‘Fair play’.

Yes.

This is the thing about Randian ideology, like its counterpart at the other end of the scale (and almost joined in a loop), libertarian communism, it fails to take our mammalian social need to take care of one another.

Yeah, Guildford is wank. Come to Bristol! Pub/car crawl!

I’ll swap you Rick for Manhatten?

Living in London with an F150?
