Woods…with no Tiger

Dec 18 2009

How’s about this for a different sort of prezzie -
Every now and then we get sent a nice box of chox, bottle of something, or the odd packet of ginger nuts. But this takes the biscuit.  One happy customer sent us a bit of woodland as a gift.  We’ll grant you it’s not a massive tract of land, but we’re happy.
We’ve calculated that if about another 500,000 GoKart owners (and maybe a few friends and family) do the same, we can have our very own golf course.  (that’s not quite in the spirit of it all – take a look at Buy your Own Woodland for details).
And if we have a picnic, we can all go (you’re invited too), and take it in turns to stand there.
With a big thank you to Mike Morris.woods

Surprise! (or not)

Dec 07 2009

We don’t want to get it wrong this Christmas…treeIf you’re ordering something from us as a Christmas present, please let us know so we don’t put our foot in it. We accidentally spoilt a surprise recently and it ruined everyone’s day. On the order form there’s a special instructions box that you can use for anything (not just for delivery messages) so please tell us if you want us to use stealth mode.

Another reason to tell us you’re buying as a present is so we can start the warranty on Christmas Day.

Just so you know, when you order on the website it’ll trigger an automatic acknowledgment email back to you, followed by another receipt message and finally a courier tracking message (that makes us sound like stalkers. We’re not).   We also need a phone number, but please tell us not to call you if this might give the game away.  We’re naturally a bit gobby, but we can do subterfuge too.

If all this makes a web order too risky, you can always place an order by telephoning us on 01227 712288, Monday to Friday, 9 til 5.

A Happy Christmas to all from GoKart

You’ll note, due to GoKart’s light weight and aerodynamic properties, that only ONE reindeer is required. We’ve had issues with the reindeer unions but a few carrots got us out of it.

Advent Calender – GoKart Style

Dec 01 2009

This is a bit of fun. We’ve spent an unhealthily large amount of time scouring the net, to find interesting snippets to amuse/interest/distract you throughout December. There’s a new virtual window to open every day up to Christmas. On the big day itself, you can even play our competition to win a GoKart trolley. Bookmark it now, pass it round to your friends, and make sure you come back every day – we’ll know if you don’t.

Vale do GoKart

A bit of sunshine, fairways that aren’t slush, blue skies and baby elephants trimming the borders. Really.  We wish we were there too.

It’s time to strap Mrs Tiggywinkle to your trolley

A lot of GoKart owners ask us about the suitability of hedgehog tyres. We like them a lot, but, like calamari, can be a bit chewy. (more…)
