A mate and I want to go karting at Matchams (http://www.matchamskarting.co.uk/content/howtofind/) next week (prolly Wed) ... but our karts are Direct Drive and therefore we need a push start ... this is fine when we normally go as we have people to help ... but this time we don't ... does anyone live near Bournemouth want to come watch/help??? ...I am sure we can let you have a few laps (technically you need to pay, but I am sure if we pick an inconspicuous moment you can get a few laps in .. as way of thankyou :) (my mate and I are there to primarily play, so don't be expecting to be driving all day :P .. but a 5 min sesh is more than enough to get you fired up/hooked ;)))

Anyway, push starting these needs a bit of power, (you need to lift, run forward and push (against engine compression) so you need to have at a minimum eaten a few pies in your time!! :D But you need to have a few muscles really ... happy to have brolly dollies 8) to watch ... but I am not sure weedy gurlies can get us going :cry: so a Russian shotputter gurl, or a reasonably hefty boy ...

Anyone about to help on wed??? [-o<

here is some footage form last time :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxNNGl0euUg

Blue, mate, having read a lot of your stuff I'd say 'in your head' is unknown territory for most of us;)

Makes me chuckle, though:D
