I’ve just returned from a day out to Silverstone with my brother Brian and boy did we have a blast. You get the chance to blow around a rally circuit in a top of the range Ford Fiesta which was absolutely thrilling to drive and complete with roll bars. I didn’t want it to end; they had to prise my little pincers from the steering wheel!

Brian was a little more reserved but I would not fancy paying the servicing costs after he had his way with poor Fiesta, though I guess they are built to take a bit of a thrashing. As much as I love Kelly the Ka, I must admit I have been browsing the web for a used Fiesta with dreams of getting deep under its bonnet, in an attempt to recreate the driving experience I enjoyed at the Silverstone Rally day.

For now though, I’m going to start saving for further racing experiences at Silverstone, as it was truly ace.

Kelly the Ka’s 13th birthday

Good day, my (nick) name is The Code Byter! I plan on keeping this blog running in order to discuss my true passion… Cars. I am your typical petrol head and I drive a second hand Ford Ka, sure it’s not the most reliable car in the world but it offers much more in the way of personality and character and constantly keeps me on my toes in the garage, something which I welcome rather than begrudge.

I am obtaining many skills thanks to the demands of my Ka, I have mastered all the basics and can now replace my own headlights, air-filter, spark plugs and I am sure my Ka will force me to learn something new before too long.

It has passed its MOT check over 10 times and it fills me with pride to think that when I bought it, the previous owner slashed the cost and warned me that it probably wouldn’t last too long.
