Default Poss OT: Time for a break from the 32. Fat bloke in a Kart!

I'm a bit burnt out after the thrash on the 32, so I needed something that I could put out without a ton of editing. I was invited to Geoff's motorbike club's Kart night recently. Members and friends had brought along a selection of beautifully restored vintage Karts, and made them available to drive. It was great fun and it was interesting so see the Karts in action. Many thanks to Geoff, the owners of the machines and the motorcycle museum for allowing this bit of madness to happen.

Mart, I think I see a V8-60 powered cart in your future, with a custom seat.
