The Black Turd

[Alex H]

So, the cup has gone and the van I was due to buy was a rotter, so I thought I'd scratch an itch. I know how much Christopher loves his Jap crap, so thought I'd tease him with this....

Its a 1.4 with a massive 85ps. Drives like a steak bake. Body roll is comedy.

 

[l33th3tr33]

Az it got boost?

 

[jesus]

izit rapid br0???

 

[Cub.]

Great work. I have a Shicra as a daily turdmobile.

That one will never die, even in a nuclear holocaust. K11's are indestructible.

I'm with you on the body roll, I've been on stiffer waterbeds.

 

[McGherkin]

I would take the piss, but it has 25ps more than my car.

 

[Ash']

Drive the b****cks off it all day not giving a funk, K11's love it.

 

[banther]

Hero wagon.

[Jack-D]

My mate has a thing for black Micra's.

Quite rare around our neck of the woods too..

 

[Ben]

Nice alloys.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Did it come with a disabled badge and allowance book ?

 

[Alex H]

They have possibly the best handbrake in the world.

 

[Craig.M]

[Cliotoby]

Ha. Not as many bad comments as I thought...

No Turbo, yet.

[Alex H]

Anyone want to lend me some monies....?

 

[Alex H]

I sold this Made money on it after tidying a few bits up. The buyer came from Dagenham. To North Yorkshire. Drove it back. It's still showing on the insurance database so it must have made it back...

 

[TimR26]

Good going making money on it. What are you getting next then mate?

 

[Clio172T]

[Ali]

Steak bake. That made me chuckle!

 

[Matt_90]

[JD]

These make great entry level rally cars!

They were the second most chosen car to embark on the Mongol Rally '07, only to Suzuki SJ410s (because of the 4x4).

Tbf the K11 was a brilliant little car

 

[Crybert]

Everyone talks about the k11(engine I presume)

Are they bulletproof? What's the story behind them

 

[GTXMike]

I had micra k11 from 96' absolutely lovely car and there is nothing to brake and fall apart lol engine is indestructible lol chain instead of belt

K11 is the model code, the 'bubble' shape is a K12 and the current is a K13.

And yes, the K11 as a car was pretty bullet proof cheap motoring.

 

[Alex H]

Fairly bullet proof. Good tuning potential, they'll rev to silly rpm before blowing up. Faults are the front crossmembers are made out of aforementioned Steak Bakes.

I've got a Slocus for now. On the hunt for the next project though. I fancy doing a classic, something fairly cheap to start off with, maybe an MGB. I need to improve my welding and fab skills, so figured may as well look around for a classic to learn as I go!
