Get a kart. Much better than doing a track day in a golf!

If you are a little pixie with a 28" waist and a 14" neck.

For actual full size people, there are cars instead.

I've done a track day in a new Nissan GTR and found it slow!

What's that? You went out in a car that has sufficient driving aids you just need to point it in vaguely the right direction and squirt and you found it dull after a kart?

How shocking.

Get something that needs some skill to drive fast, doesn't flatter the driver with electronics, or have any safety nets and try again, numbnuts.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I'm 6ft2 88kg and 6% body fat. 32" waist.

I have a kart for that, that had no rear diff and takes a lot of skill to keep in a straight line. Having to get setup just right so it doesn't under steer or oversteer. Have you ever raced in a competitive kart championship?

I've drove enough cars to know I would rather stay in a kart. Unless I bought a caterham, but that costs more and has same practicability as a kart!  :grin:
 

know champion ship karts can be fast.  they cost quite a lot of dollar to run for what they are tho... 

built enough kart engines ( hatefull things ) for the guys that take like 3 engines to one meeting and swap engines as often as tyers.  developed quite a few not so legal mods for the hatefull littel things. we allways just used to end up knobing about with them on the road for "testing pourposes". 

For me rallying is where it's at  tracks are all good fun but give me the choice and i'll take tree lined gravel tracks any day even tho they hurt more

Never done that so can't comment on rallying. Looks great fun and takes a real man to drive flat out on roads like that, or a stupid one  :lipsrsealed: :grin:

Yes and there you are, as if by magic.  An unmarried funny little man with no kids, up early on a Sunday morning, to join in on the very argument you're trying to lampoon.



Better to be spouting sh*te than shouting spite, which is all you're capable of.

Anyone who's read an MSA bulletin knows trolls like Tweed are attracted to karting like moths to a light.

As before - for grown ups, there are cars.  Even Caterhams (which cost a lot less than a GTR) are a lot more practical than a kart.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Tell me how the mk2 is so much better than a mk3 other than power to weight ratio?

Sorry how is that fishing? You ask a question and get an answer?

If you read my first post saying, "mk3 is so much better than a mk2" you will know I was fishing. If I was to build a track car I would have a mk3 abf and running gear in a mk2 shell. That post was just keeping it going!

Your post is a fail! So let this old thread lay to rest
