My old car! Spotted 6 months later!

oliver.james · May 16, 2010

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 · May 16, 2010

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

Addz · May 16, 2010

shame! looked so nice before

Tunst · May 16, 2010

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

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

Merk · May 16, 2010

Man that looked fresh when you sold it!!

wtf is it now?

Alan · May 17, 2010

Smart when you had it mate!!

Jason_E · May 17, 2010

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

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

DB. · May 17, 2010

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

Looked like a mint example before!

mx1_champ · May 17, 2010

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 · May 17, 2010

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

caeteez · May 17, 2010

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.

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

Gally · May 17, 2010

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 Chubby Pirate · May 17, 2010

Android · May 17, 2010

thats looks gd champ haha.

the new owner is probably a gimp

Joeh · May 17, 2010

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 · Nov 20, 2010

And another update, just spotted this on facebook;

:dead:

Daz. · Nov 20, 2010

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!

did you heart sink?

Cliorep · Nov 20, 2010

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

oliver.james · Nov 20, 2010

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 · Nov 20, 2010

Looks like a forklift hehe

*edit* and then I saw the update

Poor little thing

oliver.james · Nov 20, 2010

haha yeah!!

Thanks to whoever moved this to right section!

DaveDreads · Nov 20, 2010

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 · Nov 20, 2010

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
