Build an Off Road Go-Kart

Last year I built a off road buggy using the Haynes Manual "build your own off-road buggy for £100 or less". This video breifly explains how i do it, the finnished buggy is great fun and if you have acces to the tools needed (welder, grinder......) I would definatly recomend it.

It's not Euros, you dingbats, it's British pounds. Surely no one is that ignorant? Also, at the time of writing, £100 = $154.06 USD. That's $197.84 AUD for us Aussies.

that's right Clonkex, us Aussies pay the most for anything compared to other countries

Wow, 8 years ago. I would have been 19. I love rediscovering little bits and pieces I've left around the internet. Will be interesting to see how much survives until I'm old :)

Also just to be pedantic, you should have said "we Aussies". The way you work it out is by removing the second word. In this case, "we pay the most" becomes "we Aussies pay the most". It makes no sense to say "us pay". In my original comment, I said "us Aussies" because I was saying "that's xxx for us", hence "that's xxx for us Aussies".

And now to bed I go because I actually need to be awake for work tomorrow :(
