OK, time to sort the men out from the boys (and girls)!

It's all very well cruising through tunnels with your Tubi sounding , or posing around Hyde Park, but we all know that's not proper

What we need is a go-kart race!

Is anyone else up for it, or are you too scared to lay it on the line?

When - don't mind, so open to suggestions at the moment

Where - the outdoor place at Mile End is local and looks OK, or else there are a couple of indoor ones at Streatham or Kings Cross. Again - open to suggestions, so I'll go with the majority vote.

If you're happy sitting on the grid spinning your tyres while the rest of us head off into the distance, then go for it

Yup, count me in. Carting's all power to weight. Ah, so that's why Ed's suggesting it

out door 125cc is the only way Ed... none of that lawn mover indoor stuff

I know the majority of the chaps on here prefer that (Big T springs to mind) - but really - they should just stick to their flymo's at home..

bring it on

Outdoor is fine by me, but costs more and will probably have to be a weekend, with no option of post-karting

Can anyone who's interested state your preference for:

1) Weekend or after work
2) Outdoor or indoor (outdoor will almost certainly have to be weekend though)

What's the outdoor one like that's near Lakeside way???

Isn't that an evening/after work thing??

How about Buckmore at a weekend?? Don't mind indoor or outdoor Ed.

Brian prefers the 125's cos he weighs too much for the smaller ones to go anywhere with him in it!!! .....who ate all the pies, who ate all the pies, you fat...................well you all know the rest

Its pretty good big man, Beeston & I had a race up there a couple of months back. I lapped him. I guess he didn't mention that?

Lets get over there one Saturday, then back into town for some drinks? Its arrive & drive, but if we have enough people then I guess we can book a session.

Pah, Some kid spun me off, not hard to lap someone who's in the tyres

Lakeside is ok, Buckmoore park is better, but further away.. lakeside is nice and local.

I'd be quiet if I was you Bebbs, you remember the day we first met???....A blue 4.5 Cerb on your rear with no electrical aids and you couldn't shrug me off in your 360 with all the buttons turned on and with ABS???

Let me show you a thing or two about using a manual gearbox properly my Danish friend

I probably should have used the whole rev range back then but 4500 was enough to stay in front of you with ease
