Gokart mystery parts - the result

GoKart — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:17:45 +0000

We posted some pictures of a couple of GoKart components a while ago, and asked what they reminded you of (click here to have a look)

Well, the answer is the ghosts in the 80’s arcade game Pacman, A.K.A. Inky and Blinky;

So, the winner of three GoKart golf balls is Marc Smith. Well done Marc; we know what you were up to in 1981 (we favoured Galaxian at the time).

We’re getting well on the way with the design work for our umbrella holder. It’s the most requested accessory, and we apologise for taking so long to get it into production. We’re aiming to have it in available later this year, but that does depend on whether are any issues after it’s been prototyped. We can confirm it will be compatible with all GoKarts though, and we’ll let you have more news as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are a few pictures to show how it’ll work. (more…)

As if the US Open finish at Torrey Pines wasn’t exciting enough for us all; there was a dramatic five way play off held here at GKHQ. Five people, of the hundreds that entered, predicted the correct combination of Tiger on 283 to win. There could be only two winners though, and first and second out of the hat were Chris W from Whitley Bay, and John H from Bridgwater. Congratulations to you both.

So here’s to Lee Westwood taking the British Open. Are we allowed to get excited for that yet please?

I read with interest about the use of hedgehogs on the wheels. Apart from hunting the little blighters down and suffering the fleas I managed to tie them onto the wheels. However, although they improved traction on the hillsides for a short while, they gradually became less efficient as they tended to flatten out and got very messy and did not smell too good either.

According to the votes cast on the GoKart website, 70% of golfers say this is rubbish, which means 30% of voters are masochists who enjoy horizontal rain, seeing their perfect drives kick at right angles into the goulash and getting sand where it was never supposed to be. But who also get most fun playing their favorite game in the midst of a natural wilderness, that has remained pretty much the same since the game was invented.

We can understand that.
