My old car! Spotted 6 months later!

[oliver.james]

So, when I sold my old car, a black SportKa, I was really happy with how it looked!

Got sent a photo tonight from a mate, who spotted it this evening with some new additions!

Described it as also having deep swirl marks all over it, bad kurbing on every wheel and looks as thought the carbon bonnet has been dropped a couple of times. Found it amusing in quite a sad way, so thought I'd share

Wheelbarrow??

 

[JCC]

Holy sh*t. So you made a streetKa look acceptable, and then some chunt goes and undoes all the work again. Awesome lol

 

[Addz]

shame! looked so nice before

 

[Tunst]

I love street KA's with cozzy wheels, bit of tyre stretch and lowerd

 

[Englebert]

[Omid]

Wheelbarrow??

If I knew they were going to do that to it, I would have scrapped it.

 

[Merk]

Man that looked fresh when you sold it!!

wtf is it now?

 

[Alan]

Smart when you had it mate!!

 

[Jason_E]

Remember seeing your's in FastCar and thinking "Minter"

Now I see that and think "c**t driving."

 

[DB.]

LOL! I do wonder how some people can think that looks good with tailpipes like that!

Looked like a mint example before!

 

[mx1_champ]

do you have much to do with the ford ka scene ? a mate of mine is building a cool black ka zetec engine itbs s**t load of carbon etc

 

[The Ironist]

some chav has got their hands on that....

 

[caeteez]

Whenever I sell a car I always hope its going a long way from home, as I never want to see it again.

My Dad sold an absolutely mint Lotus Cortina (Savage) way back when he had it, to a guy who lived in the same sort of area. Within months it was a wreck and ended up being written off. Pretty sad to see something you cared for ruined by some scrotum.

[Leeshez]

Health and safety. Pick it up and turn the car aound.

[Chili Red]

Looked mint before you sold it

Now it looks like a wheelbarrow.

 

[Gally]

I don't think it's sorted yet; he ordered new injectors last I saw

Loads lol :rasp:

 

[Gally]

Without doubt the best looking sport KA ever!

Imperial blue pwns black tho!

I'm a ford nut! Looks great. Chuckable but not that quick?

 

[The_Pirate]

Ka's are bad mm'kay

 

[oliver.james]

Chuckable but not that quick?

You got it in one!

 

[Android]

thats looks gd champ haha.

the new owner is probably a gimp

 

[Joeh]

Always had a secret admiration for sportka's, they look nice as they don't have un colourcoded bumpers like normal ka's
yours was stunning.

Still think they look like a teapot though lol

 

[oliver.james]

And another update, just spotted this on facebook;

:dead:

 

[Daz.]

I know when you sell a car it's irrelevant really what happens to it but you still don't like to see your old pride and joys looking like that!

 

[welshname]

And another update, just spotted this on facebook;

:dead:

did you heart sink?

 

[Cliorep]

Bad Times, I can imagine this happening to mine when i sell it

 

[oliver.james]

It's a shame to see it's been crashed, but as above really; once sold it's irrelevant what happens to it

It would have been worse if it still looked the same as when I got rid I suppose lol

 

[Bubbles]

Looks like a forklift hehe

*edit* and then I saw the update Poor little thing

 

[oliver.james]

haha yeah!!

Thanks to whoever moved this to right section!

 

[DaveDreads]

Why didn't you put it back to standard when you sold it?
Surely you could have got a fair bit of money back on the mods and still got a good price on a standard car?

If i'd made a car look that good over standard I wouldn't want to think some prick
was just going to make it look worse.

Not nice to see how your once pride and joy has ended up.

 

[Adz172]

That has to be the nicest ka i`ve ever seen! Such a shame to see it spoilt now.

The hassle of it really; I didn't have many of the standard parts left, so it would have meant acquiring original bits again before hand.

I removed the audio, which tbh was the most expensive thing and sold that separately
