I use to own a little KB Laser and it went to hell and back, Even blew a head gasket but it still got up and went. A little too small for my liking but I have to say they are a tough little car that can handle a thrashing.

My first car was a KA or KB (don't remember now) 2dr S with the twin carbs. It copped all the abuse as mentioned above - airborne at various locations, loved gravel and dirt tracks, handbrakies everywhere in the wet and didn't miss a beat. As good as they are, when you plough into a light pole at about 90, they're f**k.
