Or looking at it the other way...You could use your handbrake to slow down - it won't show the brakelights at all and they'll get a hell of a shock at this rapidly-slowing car in front of them.
Particularly useful if you already have a scratch or similar on the back of your car that you want to be rid of...
As for the Ford Ka, the one that k2k6 tried was obviously broken in some way. They're lethargically underpowered and built with all the finesse of a damp fag packet, but the handling is an absolute hoot - they outhandle just about anything in their class, with flat cornering and progressive breakaway. I do know what I'm talking about too - I have a day job that involves me pushing some quite exotic machinery to its limits on a private circuit (e.g. Jaguar XKR, Aston Martin DBS, Porsche 911 Turbo, Maserati GranTurismo S all in the last week)
