Whooops - random ebay bid
nick205 - 26/4/11 at 09:02 PM

Just perusing the bay and spotted this fairly local to me and rashly put a bid in - thought it could be a bit of fun...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt em&item=120716217372&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Then browsing further and spotted this even more local (like 2 miles local) to me and now thinking I might pull my first bid and bid on this instead...

Anyone played about with one before?

Had a similar one to the second one, great fun - if you have somewhere to use it. Amazing how many places wont let you anywhere near with a motorised vehicle, even if it's for the *ahem* kids to use

We used to use ours on the beach which was an absolute scream but played havoc with the torque converter belts with the sand getting everywhere.

I will defo build another once the kit is finished.

By the way a full roll over bar is essential, anyone who tells you there impossible to roll is lying

Missed a locall dingo on sunday. Having problems with my broadband and it went down just as I put my bid in.

We had a great afternoon on saturday with a kart I bought on here a few years back. But they keep killing the poor little thing.

Absolutely !! ... I still have a steel pin in my left hand to prove it.

the second one looks pretty good

don't buy if you have a bad back and intend to use it off road

Cheers chaps.

I have use of a couple of fields local to me and there's also a local moto-x track/area which I've seen people karting on as well.

If I pick up the Dingo, the first job would be to fabricate a roll cage for it as well as a general overhaul.
