> Yep, you're right there. If it's possible that a car could be smaller than a mini, then the Ka proves it. I drove one for three weeks while my Mondeo was being fixed once. I hated it the entire time. I still hate them and will for evermore.

My dad had to put his Rover 100 in for a service last year. The garage gave him a courtesy Ford Ka.
While driving it, he was required to make a left turn into a driveway every day. He kept bumping the bollard on the inside of the turn. He's never, ever done this before or since.
He gets his 100 back, turns into the drive exactly the same way, doesn't hit the bollard.
We then met up with a mate who drives a Ka a few days later. He actually got a tape measure out and found that, although you'd never think it, that the Rover 100 (Knightsbridge) is actually thinner left side - right side than the Ford Ka. This explains why he kept hitting the bollard.

Oh, and the Ka radios SUX0R. The only station we could pick up was London Live, and that SUX0RED.
