I'm about 6ft and fit on it alright. They are GREAT fun, Theres actually loads of places to race them now from carparks to gokart curcuits. It'll do about 35MPH, It's the beginners one with 3.4BHP, They do 4.4BHP too or even ones with 14 or so BHP!which do about 60-70MPH. 35MPH is fast enough for the size methinks. Mines a Blata which is one of the best makes (and most expensive) you can pickup chinese imports for about £200 but apparently they aint as good. http://www.minimotoclub.co.uk/vb/index.php? is a good site for info

Sorry, but Blata are cheapies too.

They're better than the chinese tat which seems to be flooding council estates at the moment though.

For 'proper' Minimotos you want to be looking at Polini, Pasini, GRC etc... big money for something so small but worth it for the amount of fun you can have :D

I've just got rid of my 12hp Polini as I wasn't using it enough. Second hand with a few spares and stands etc, I got £800 for it. I had a 4.2 hp before too.. brilliiant for hooning around deserted car parks :cool:

Looks very similar to mine jimbo, except you got diff wheels and a 3 door, that a 1.4 CL? :D

Just an 'L' according to the v5.
Whats the difference? a few mod cons or something?

I don't have any central locking, alarm or power steering, nothing like that... an alarm and central door locking are the next things on my list :)
 
cheers for the positive comments :)

Tis quite hard to modify a car without it looking daft, but i think i achieved what i wanted........subtle!
 
i join you all in the land of 4 wheels today :D

pics later though of my box-mobile :D :D :D
I'm going to try something creative, a 360 degree quicktime VR so you can move around my car!
 
Completely standard apart from EK9 (Type-r) grille:

You may be thinking, why has it changed colours? Well its Supersonic blue pearl (factory colour) which changes in the light and the camera struggles in low light to produce the colours. :(

In reality it looks blue with a purple metallic. :)
