Mr Laurence Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Aston Martin said: The roll bar was added, because Ford said to Fiat it needs a roll bar for the KA. I think it handles fine. @mk2_craig needs to give it the beans and he can give his thoughts. I have no issues with this setup. I always forget that the 500 and the ka are the same platform. Does this mean that the rear axle from a mk2 Ka would also fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Fuck me. Running late.... Had to take 4x4.... First train machine fucked.... Ran to second machine. Card processing.... Card processing..... I run back to the car.... Run to platform 7.... The app said 7 this morning. The fuck is this homemade garbage? Check app... Platform 2. I get on the train at 8:56... I walk from one end to the other to get to first class.... I sit down and the fucking train sets off. In conclusion. I'm piss wet through. Cost me £10.24 in parking. P.s.

This turned into a few months because Covid, but no serious grumbles resulted, and no demand for compensation was ever made. However, it was asked if these: Could be made available for his son to use on his car: PO couldn’t find the key to unlock the security end caps, so a pair to the matching serial number were duly ordered. £2.85 delivered, sellers feedback seems reasonably ok, should arrive in plenty time? Hm. These hadn’t turned up by Thursday and with no post on Sat, and the Panda on the boat Mon, it was looking like the bars might not be able to come off. Hm really. Strange how the BINI wheel bolts I had ordered two days earlier had managed to turn up eh. Anyway, a quick (and expensive) trip to the local locksmiths later and: Alright!! Back on track. Soon: But: #shite This was after no.4 lock put up a fight and wouldn’t allow the key in. Ok a change of tack required. Briefly engaged Harry Hacksaw: but swiftly encountered metal. Ach tae fuck wi it Bar-free zone. No Pandas were harmed in the making of this production. Couple of adjuster bolts gave up the battle, to be fair to Thule they must have been on there for well in excess of a decade. RIP also 5mil Allen key. Let’s get some pez in the tank: All right!! Quick spot of SHOPPIN Some air in tyres: And back to site so that the bars can be dropped off to their new owner. Stay tuned!
