I have just had my main engine rebuilt and it is being real problematic ... so I am actually back to my original one ... I have no idea how long it has left, but at the mo she is running like a minx!!

No replies ... are none of you petrol heads and like anything that goes??!?!? or is the footage really that lame?

blue your actually pretty good at this, when you going in for the championships ETC

I noticed there were no responses. It's mainly cos I couldn't think of anything to say. The only thing that pops into my head other than "he's pretty damn good at racing in general" is "how the f*** does he afford to have all this fun?".

My kart is about 15-20yrs old, there isn't actually a class that exists any more that I could race my kart in!!! Saying that I think they have a 'run anything' class at Matchams, but that hardly seems fair ...

So it'd mean a new kart ... to be honest I have been thinking about that anyway, as ... well mine is always breaking down and I am now throwing serious money at it to try and keep it rolling and to no great effect ...

But I am not sure I want to race karts anyway ... from my bike days I take racing far too seriously and putting pressure on yourself to perform totally takes the 'fun' out of it!!

I see you are Southampton, Forest Edge is near Andover, so not far form you, I'll let you know next time I go Karting and you can come have a watch ... more importantly you can come push!!!

The kart only cost me £250!!! (ok, ok, so I have spent many times that on karting since but it really is ‘bottom end’ stuff I have got!!)

I am not a rich man, therefore always have to do stuff ‘bottom end’ … I only direct money at stuff where it is important … you will never see my kart/bike with a decent spray job … you will never see me turn up in a massive transporter … you will never see me buying a round down the bar!! … Stuff like that!

I am like that with everything I do ... I only direct money at things that are important to me … no frills – no spills - if I can find a more cost effective/logical way of doing something I will!! I just try and make the best of what I have - minimum wastage!!

FE is always run on a Sat (or do you work weekends?)

Pushing would bankrupt me?!?!!? Am I missing something!?!?

[Wideboy]

some times i work away doing shop fitting at week ends i make more money




and you would be bankrupt because i charge so much

edit will rephrase the post just saw how mixed up i looked

well only if you let me have ago, u used to have a peddle on you know

was ment to say "well only if you let me have ago, i used to have a pedle one you know"

I can't really let you 'have a go' as you have to have signed on (and paid) to be allowed out on track. They check you have wristbands (issued at sign on). But I can guarantee after seeing these things in action you will be on eBay finding your own
