Come and play. Oh go on, you know you want to…

Dec 25 2010

No not golf (we wish – it’s still pretty slushy here…), not cluedo, not charades, and definitely not the ukelele (had to spellcheck that one!), but the GRAND GOKART CHRISTMAS PUZZLE.

We’ve done it a little differently this year. The idea is to work out 18 film titles from the clues in the picture. The first letter of each title will lead you to a phrase, and your chance to win a stonking new GoKart electric golf trolley.

So grab your egg nog, get grannie comfy and see how quickly you can solve it. Some clues you’ll get easily, and some not quite so readily.  There’s even a forum where you can seek encouragement or enlightenment (but don’t expect any sense out of the moderators til Boxing Day; you’re on your own until then…)

The puzzle runs up to the end of January, when we’ll announce the winner.  Honourable mentions will be given to those speeding through it quickly on Christmas Day.  The first chap to complete the quiz last year was surprised by a little congratulatory present from us, I’m sure we’ll do the same this year.  Socks maybe?

Hedgehogs defy winter rules!

Dec 22 2010

Absolutely no hibernation on the cards for GoKart hedgehogs. Fit these to your GoKart electric golf trolley and you’re hot to trot.

Now available in the accessory section of the website shop (for ROI please click here), the set includes two drive wheels and a front wheel, all featuring the proven ‘hedgehog’ technology (big nobbles, but very intelligently designed big nobbles) that helps protect fairways against damage in wet, wintry conditions.  The set costs £61 plus £4 postage and packing (ROI €74 plus €6 p&p).
