Karting.

A friend has given us a new toy for Millie (aged 6).

I've already broken the cord thing that starts it.. Tumm tee tumm. Hope this ends well.

Looks wicked fun in these conditions! I hope she enjoys it!

It's incredibly generous of our friend but part of me is terrified to let her out in it. So far she's buzzed round his drive in the ice (with one of us holding on to it so she was mainly sideways at about 2 mph).

Carefull mate thats a proper race kart and should only be used at a MSA track at the age of eight.

She'll be grand, get her some practice at the Kart place at cambuslang as they do lessons on a sat morning and then once a member she can go every sat am for a couple of hours for £15 if my memory serves me right as I was taking my eldest there last year..

All the best

Thanks for the advice...

(Although we were going to try and borrow a car park, strap some blocks to the pedals and et her have a go there).

Best used at Cambuslang as Mark has said, safe enviroment and you will also get good advise.

Pete, Mig in Symington (in the old school house) has children around that age and runs a Karting track somewhere near Kilmarnock (not been yet), maybe a good idea to get in touch with him?

I'll see if I can dig out his details, will PM you.

One of the tales Mig tells is growing up next door to Estoril and karting with Senna

Ask for Ian Brown, and tell him Stuart Pollock asked you to call and look after you, top guy..

Cheers

Cheers folks, really appreciate it (although pal who gave me kart has a huge history in karting himself, and is just starting off with his daughter. But I feel bad pestering him for advice when he has been so kind to get us started!).

(exits stage left to read up on "Kart maintenance for the mechanically inept". There's got to be a website somewhere.)
