    How to make money from cars "spend your entire budget with mods that will limit your marketplace before even looking under the car" Smort! 😂
  • @dan5825
    I really hope this isn't gonna be like some other YouTubers when they start it and never finish the trade-up series
  • @stephenpugh3914
    Maxwell is quite possibly, apart from James may. The best addition to a car show ever.
  • Nothing wrong with a ka, i had one it took 3 adults a child and 3 suit cases from Sheff to Gatwick and back never missed a beat
  • @Snowmunkee
    This is gonna be a fantastic series I can already tell.
  • @arkeon_6321
    PLEASE make this into a full series!!! This is gonna be great!
  • @fenix2k1
    Cheap ebay mods are a reason to walk away from a car, not a selling point.
  • @user-vy5jw1zm1o
    The food stuff failed and the top gear/grand tour stuff is over so now let's take a page from wheeler dealers
  • @pendragon6207
    This is among the best ideas you've had so far! Absolutely love it, can't wait to see where and how it goes!
  • The Ford KA is a nice car. Had a black S reg, with no power steering, for 3 months, the hottest 3 months of the year back in 2009. Remember that bit where I said it was black? You cooked as soon as the fans stopped blowing. Was a nice little go kart even with the only 60hp (they made it 70hp about 2003 and made power steering the norm to boot), nice fun car. The issues? Well, for starters, I got the car in exchange for a bicycle. Most of the car was filler, especially around the fuel cap. I don't turn my nose at the KA, but sadly its a 90's Ford and extremely easy to rust. Even heard of one owner being told to get rid of it after its first MOT as the sills were already going....

    Remember seeing this car at the Drivetribe Live Event 🎉

    'added a new air filter to my ford ka today, my ryobi hoover was handy' man i hope i never have to say that sentence in real life
  • @chriswvtr
    Can of Monster on the workbench, Red Bull will not be pleased 😂
  • I used to hire these on the cheap to go to London years ago and I can assure you that the KA is fun quick ! Everyone knows hire cars are the fastest cars around.
