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!!! :neutral: 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 :cry: ...

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!!! :D

The kart only cost me £250!!! (ok, ok, so I have spent many times that on karting since :oops: 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!! :D … 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!! ;)

I'll give you 1p per push!! :D … It’s a good workout … perhaps I should charge you to push me!?!? :D

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 ;)
