So... your walking down the street, what is the most unlikely event to occur? A tornadoe, a tsunami, a plane crashing infront of you? NO...
It's a shopping trolley on a go kart!!!

Note: The engine wasn't mounted at the moment, it is sitting under a towel on the bottom left of the picture...
Running on a very pleasant 6.5HP Honda GX200 engine, horizontal shaft of course, and amazing power as you push that foot right down hard on the accelerator! Made all by myself and my father, in his workshop we made this, over 20 hours of hard work. It's worth it though, once the final product is made.
Brought some new wet tyres for it, as racing slicks would suck going around the roads in the wet...
I just recently blew the engine up, I was driving across the motorway's bike path, full speed (Bout 60 km/h) and it randomlet starts smoking like a pig! Turns out I wasted up the head gaskets, the piston rings stuffed up... and it just... sucked...
Cost $230 to fix at the moment, and now we're having eidling problems. Air is actually COMING OUT of the air cleaner, no kidding, we acellerate, and it blows **** smoke out... sucks.
Anyway, just a picture to make you all dribble, and to know that the go kart world isn't just boring fun karts, there's a complete different story, when a 14 year old is involved!
Note I'm now 15 :p
