A GoKart guide to earning brownie points…

Dec 23 2009

“It has been a month now since I took delivery of my GoKart – fantastic service. I wish I could say that it does everything it says on the tin but unfortunately I CAN’T !! – I “lost” it.

My wife returned from a shopping trip just as I was test driving it around the lounge – she thought she had discovered her surprise Xmas present – there were a rare few moments of silence then, “WOW it’s fantastic, I’ll love you forever” – I’m not sure whether she was speaking to me or “Apollo” (so christened for its space age looks and innovation).
Having gained trillions of brownie points I still find myself carrying my clubs. As Apollo is so simple to set up and put down and stow in the car she who must be obeyed now insists I have one! – everything comes to him that waits.
I hope your breeding programme is up to speed and your “GoStud” is in the mood to sire another ‘Kart’ to replace my lost one.

Merry Xmas & a Prosperous New Year Keep up the good work, love your website.
Ordered replacement today”.

Woods…with no Tiger

Dec 18 2009

How’s about this for a different sort of prezzie -
Every now and then we get sent a nice box of chox, bottle of something, or the odd packet of ginger nuts. But this takes the biscuit.  One happy customer sent us a bit of woodland as a gift.  We’ll grant you it’s not a massive tract of land, but we’re happy.
We’ve calculated that if about another 500,000 GoKart owners (and maybe a few friends and family) do the same, we can have our very own golf course.  (that’s not quite in the spirit of it all – take a look at Buy your Own Woodland for details).
And if we have a picnic, we can all go (you’re invited too), and take it in turns to stand there.
With a big thank you to Mike Morris.woods

There’s something a bit wrong here.

“Got my GoKart this week because I was told it would improve my game.  So far I have only managed to hit the ball 80yds. off the tee. I am finding that the wheels are catching the back of my head as I swing back…… It’s the only problem I have found so far. I spoke to my club Pro’ about it & surprise surprise he has changed my grip……….lovin’ it.”

Tiger’s Troubles

Before getting into the meat of this week’s discussion I feel obliged to mention Tiger, en passant, if only to explain why his apparent marital difficulties will not be getting a lengthy airing here. Newspapers, magazines, websites and even TV broadcasters are having a field day, speculating, discussing and commenting on his recent dramas – and also, incidentally, having a rare old time making really poor jokes about the world’s number one preferring to hit an iron rather than a wood, after colliding with a fire hydrant and then a tree. (more…)

Surprise! (or not)

Dec 07 2009

We don’t want to get it wrong this Christmas…treeIf you’re ordering something from us as a Christmas present, please let us know so we don’t put our foot in it. We accidentally spoilt a surprise recently and it ruined everyone’s day. On the order form there’s a special instructions box that you can use for anything (not just for delivery messages) so please tell us if you want us to use stealth mode.

Another reason to tell us you’re buying as a present is so we can start the warranty on Christmas Day.

Just so you know, when you order on the website it’ll trigger an automatic acknowledgment email back to you, followed by another receipt message and finally a courier tracking message (that makes us sound like stalkers. We’re not).   We also need a phone number, but please tell us not to call you if this might give the game away.  We’re naturally a bit gobby, but we can do subterfuge too.

If all this makes a web order too risky, you can always place an order by telephoning us on 01227 712288, Monday to Friday, 9 til 5.
