Not only will it get you noticed by customers but also notice by the police as its probably no MOT TAX INSURANCE ETC it will probably losr you your licence so you will have to do your round from an asda trolley

how did you guess I have no valid mot certificate?
No flies on you.

Then maybe it's on an 08 plate.
And you have stylish teavellers near you if they drive Dune Buggies.
Around here it's transits & flat beds.

It looks like a piece of hi tec plant. Well done for putting it together.
If it does the job, and why shouldn't it, that's all that matters.

Hi tec plant?

Its a go-kart Dai, theres nothing hi tec about go-carts.


If someone who is meant to be a professional turned at my house in a bodged go-kart,  looking like its all been salvaged from the local scrap yard and thrown together for a bet I know where Id tell them to get off.

No wonder the general public have a poor opinion about window-cleaners.

Why would you waste the time effort and money for something like that.....sorry but it would be the laughing stock anywhere....
I dunno, some people just do nt appreciate enginnering prototypes.
And also this is for my wifeto work with a girlfriend. And they look good!

Kev, I don't think they will look so good after a week of driving rain and sub zero winds   ???

Well Dave,
it's just the sunny days for them.
My wife thought T Shirt promo piccies would be good. But when I pointed out that 99% of the clientelle are female she realised that it might be targetting the wrong sort of custie.

it would seem peoples definition if professional does vary.

dài, Have you managed to work all through this cold spell?
I would define professional as somebody who had all the tools that meant he could return every 6 weeks, no matter what the inclement, & do a quality job with no complaints.
This country has long devalued engineering talent & gone for fashion.
Thiscontraption of ours will be still going strong when your van has gone through clutches, brakes galore.

Dave,

I've had nothing but positive comments on the quad. Everyone,
ale, female, youngsters, oldsters, all love a quad.
I now use 200 litres on a full day: so with a125 litre tank on the bike plus a small trailercarrying another 125 litres plus L5. You got the best vehicle fir wfp. It ain't gonna rust, bits are easy to replace yourself ( though apart from tyres, I've had no mechanicals in 5000 miles).
AND it can handle this ice & snow with no trouble.
Picking up on other threads, I've discovered you can buy snow plows for these can ams, so hopefully next year we'll add car park clearances to the services we offer.

Kevin.
