SOTW: A trio of karts

Some two-stroke fun to help drown-out the Christmas telly

Family fun is what this time of year is supposed to be all about (we'll not argue here about the semantics of whether or not that's actually true - that's a whole other discussion). And Shed is not one to shirk away from festive fun and frolics with all the family, especially if we can shoehorn in some petrol-related entertainment to the proceedings.

But Shed's motoring-based Christmas fun is nothing dull and indoorsy. Oh no. Not for Shed the whizz of the Scalextric. Or even the patio-based radio control car. What we have for you (provided you have a relatively small family), is the possibility of an entire full-sized race.

Well, full-sized in as much you can fit actual people in them, because our Xmas special SOTW is the opportunity to shake-off that turkey-induced stupor in not one, not two, but three two-stroke karts.

Two of these, the vendor reckons, are 100cc-engined adult karts, which means that they should be capable, depending on gearing, of 0-60mph in around six seconds, and a top speed of roughly 80mph. The third is a children's cadet kart - most likely fitted with a 60cc Comer engine and still potentially capable of around 60mph.

They're not quite 'get in and go', mind. One of the adults' karts needs its brakes bled and a couple of bolts for the steering, while the other needs a new rear axle fitted (though a new one comes with the sale). The cadet kart, meanwhile, is in need of a new pull chord...

Once you've surmounted those *cough* minor obstacles all you need to do is find somewhere suitable to drive them, and get hold of the relevant safety clobber. Though that might just put you a little over Shed's £1k budget limit. But what a way to settle family disputes. And to find out just how handy a wheelwoman Great Aunt Gwen is...
