Just buy a kart.

I paid $3k for mine and $400 a year and a few days volunteering gets me keys to the track.

Edit: I can't say enough that I'm more excited for the 2017 season of my lovely kart club championship with my Minardi-esque kart than I am for the F1 rule changes.

Me @ your poasting

I used to love go karting and was pretty quick, but these days I get horrible motion sickness from it :(

But is karting really that viable outside of the UK? I know that all the gear would cost a fortune in AU retail, or to ship here buying online. Also a shitload more tracks overthere i assume.

Yup, hundreds of the things, mostly in the midlands (which is where the F1 teams live) even my local garden centre has a mini kart track. Baseline for a second hand entry level kart is £150-£1000 if you buy from tracks (the entry level get passed around A Lot) and if it's a honda then there are tracks which will let you store it there for £5 a week with free access to the workshop and whatnot. Honda is a thing here, with a lot of tracks if you don't bring a honda you be hiring a kart.

Someone needs to tell this guy that you can't actually domesticate big cats. That thing could still rip his face off if it chooses to do so.

Hell, an ordinary moggy can gently caress you up pretty badly if it gets a mind to. 5 out of 6 ends are pointy, and the 6th sprays piss.

Moggy


From what i can gather, "Maggy/Moggie" used to be a generic name for a cow, like "Bessie" is today. And there were so many nasty-looking wild cats running around english cities 100 years ago to keep the plauge away, they called them "Moggie" or "Maggie" because they..... looked like cows?


Wow, we sure dont care about Nico Rosbergs legendary title-winning performance. Just like his dad: Second placing himself to a boring WDC.

There are probably only a dozen people on the planet who are genuinely excited that Nico Rosberg is on the verge of winning, everyone else is just satisfied to have a winner who isn't called Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel.

My dad used to have a South African client with big cats. They later mauled him to death.
