    That bit really irked me. I bought mine last year when I was 18 and I've heard nothing but good about mine, even from my friends that haven't got a clue about cars...but I suppose that's more about who you associate with. Just takes a robust sense of humor, really.
     
    What's scary to me is that she'd rather be caught in their Picasso.

    I liked the bit in the description that said "Sadly it is getting used less and less mainly due to my 16 year daughter refusing to go in it unless its dark". Personally I'd keep the car and get rid of the daughter.

    Ooh, I didn't expect to see my Instagram on here! Glad that you've got something from the pic. Here's an early-ish estate and super late P reg I've also seen.

    Looks straight, but a bit £much perhaps? Especially since the rabbit isn't included.

    I really fancy one of these heaps. Theres one on eBay at the moment that looks quite good but is VERY FAR AWAY and another on FB marketplace that is being sold by one of these 'testing the water' dickheads.
    Theres also 2 sat festering out the back of the Kia dealers near me, I ought to go and see if they will let me have one.

    Hello there.
     
    It's come to my attention that I haven't been very active on here since acquiring my latest car, and I thought you lot may like some pictures.
     
    Here's my 1993 Kia Pride 1.3 LX, 1 of 26 remaining MK1s, and mine's in the lovely Kingfisher Blue.
     

     

     

     

     
    I came into her through a Facebook car spotting page; the previous owner posted after pulling her out of a garage where she'd been laid up since 2015. An intended spares car for a 121 he had at the time, though he remarked it was far too tidy for such a purpose.
     
    Some work was required for the MOT and she's undergone a pretty comprehensive service but I've had 1,000 miles of joy over the past month so far!
     
    Lovely to add to the variety of cars on here and be part of it all.

    I worked in Macrae and Dick when there were new, and some customers didn't like the whitewalls.. 12" if I remember. I had to flip the tyres round on the rims on the pdi.  Forever changing rear wheel bearings on them too, under warranty. I had a turquoise 5 door, a later one which was a great wee car, bought as trade. I do remember it didn't have much front end grip. All wheelspin and understeer.

    Been a while! Not much to report. Sorted the dodgy front bumper, replaced the alternator, ticked over 50k and passed the MOT in August. We've done London, York, the Peak District, Sheffield, Liverpool, Cornwall...
     
    Also had a feature in the Retro Cars magazine around February with my friend Jude and his fantastic white 1.3 LX 5 door.

    Nice to see one of these still around. I had a 5 door in the late 90s, bought it with 115k on the clock, sold it about 2 years later with ...115k on the clock. Only noticed the odo was broken  after a week or so of ownership so lord knows what mileage it had really done, felt high-ish. To date I think it's the only car I've ever actually sold on as actual working transport. Offered it to a bloke from work for about £300, he came to have a look and it just refused to start, ran the battery flat turning it over, them jump leaded it up to the wife's car and continued to crank while it sort of tried to fire a bit until eventually it relented and finally spluttered into life - at which point the guy just handed me the cash and drove it away😮 Couldn't believe he still wanted it.
    Also remember having an argument with my MOT guy who refused to believe it was fitted with a cat. Not relevant to the MOT, it had already passed but he was laughing at me because I'd referred to the cat and he was convinced that was just a silencer box because the Pride still had a carb which as everyone knows definitely doesn't work with a cat. He was so convinced he was right he shoved his emissions probe up the tailpipe to prove his point, at which point he had to admit he was wrong😄 Not only cat fitted, but still fully functional after 115k miles (honest) behind a carb.

    There was a dealership in Preston in the early 1990's selling these. I always recall those whitewall tyres.
    I stupidly didn't give these a second glance then..now i think  these motors look bloody cool.
    Well saved and great colour.
