    33 Ford Ka's damaged in the Netherlands

    In Oosterhout, the Netherlands, the past few weeks 33 Ford Ka's have been damaged. The vandals mainly damage the rear of the cars. The damage is estimated on €1,000 - €2,000 per car.

    Why the vandals are damaging only Ford Ka's in still not clear. The police also hasn't arrested any suspects.

    The newspaper AD mentioned a Ka equipped with camera's was being deployed at the moment. If it was up to me, they'd use a Ka with shotgun aimed at the drivers. Every time they make a mistake, BANG. Worst drivers on the road. Not saying I am perfect, but noone is.

    I was thinking about removing my avatar, but thanks to that ridiculous post I'll keep it.

    After you have reported at least one episode in which you supposedly reached 160kms/h in your alto, I support the shotguns too.
    Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

    I don't know how they drive around in your area, but here it are always the same kind of cars that make dangerous maneuvers that could have been avoided when they payed a little more attention to the road. Renault Scenic's, Ford Ka's and Volvo's in general... In the past (2000) I was also a witness of a deadly accident with a Ford Ka, caused by driving error. I must admit I was not exactly subtle in my words though above and apologies to those offended..

    They say Adolf Hitler invented the Ford Ka. Plans to build it only surfaced half a century later due to copyright purposes.

    I think you'll find that those are probably down to the driver not the car.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Offcourse. But as is normal in daily-life talk, the entire brand is blaimed

    These quotes are all from drakkie and sort of tell us a story:

I am seriously thinking of a turbocharger ... i tried to get the speedo of the scale..

    J/K, keep rockin' man.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

I never drive in a unsafe manner, because of my (lack of) crumpling zone. I do like to hit the gas pedal and drive swiftly through traffic, like most of us. I get dozens of compliments by people, that i drive well. And that is what counts. So if you'd stop making too fast judgements please, thanks.

    That post you quoted was when I had barely any experience. My first car and then a petrol at it(learned to drive diesel). It's like when the parents leave the house, the kids go party, you gotta have tried everything..
