firstly I reckon that kart is more fun than both minogue sisters on E. Secondly if theres a more typical german shirt than the one the driver gadgee's wearing i don't know where it is !!!

Hahahahahaha very funny, not too sure on the Minogue business though !!!! On the subject of fun machines has anyone on this site tried a Radical??

Excellent!!! I want one. Every kart I've ever driven just farts and pops and crawls forward reluctantly when I floor it. Maybe 'cos I'm so lardy. That thing looks ace, but a bit of a handful though...

yep, had a single seater 1100 for 6 months (with a partner) with a view to race. err...bit unreliable, and so we sold it.

440 kg 185 bhp

6-speed sequential gearbox, awesome noise, makes you feel like an F1 driver.

0-60 early 3.5 secs
0-100 7 - 8 secs

Ballistic, the G-force on bends is phenominal. We took it to 3 airfield days, to get all of our spinning out of the way. And spinning plenty we did.

Then we went to Donnington and posted a time of 1min 20sec, on the short circuit. Which is pretty decent, our times were 3/4 down the grid, there were others who were much quicker. A time of 1min 15sec was posted by the leading 1100s.

I am fairly certain that these type of times are similar to formula fords around the circuit.

When a good friend (who had a race tuned F40) drove it, he said it was ballistic.

Now that I have no money to spend (girlfriend and potential commitment) I appreciated the few laps that I had around Donnington in the Radical. They won't be surpassed.

Bit of a drag trailing it around. It needs a lot of commitment.

That sounds fantastic, I have asked my brother if he gets a chance to drive one to make sure that I can have a go. Looked into last year about buying a Westfield with the Hayabusa Engine which also has amazing performance, only problem not suitable on a day to day business ......... same was said about my R1 and F27 so I promissed work I would but a sensible machine, up rolls a banana VX Lightning, not too impressed. Stuff em , I need to enjoy my driving or riding as its something precious. 440KG 185BHP say no more mate, I wonder if a Seat Cupra Sport could keep up ! (Long Story on another Forum )


cheers

I thought he was still in his pyjamas!

Looks wicked. Was karting last week and could quite happily go every week. Perhaps we should set up a VX220.org.uk karting championship?

Providing we race indoors on a dry track, I should be competitive!
