Well coming from the "King of Contradiction & Ambiguity", you too should perhaps try to explain yourself in such a way that cannot be open for not only misinterpretation but also the expression of other people's opions - If you no longer wish any more comebacks or retliations from my Husband, may I suggest you drop it and especially as he does indeed have a damn good point or more. If you'd like any further clarification on what he's saying - just ask him... The only thing he's tried to voice here is that Trophy Karts should be able to be either BUILT or made available to BUY for the more budget concious and those who LOVE to race and quite simply are BORN with this ability/talent but the prices are quite simply out of reach here in Oz unless you're well and way above the average wage unfortunately.. WHICH IS WHY he was saying about the more 'talented' of those should be able to build their own and from 'scratch' ie. NOT from buying the parts from a shelf. Is that clear enough or do you need even further clarification on this matter... ? AND may I add that EVERYTHING is open to Interpretation and even Mis interpretation and especially REACTION - Reaction especially comes about from those most 'sensitive' to a remark or comment, but also some just simply like to stir the pot for those reactions... Thanking you for your time and Have a Wonderful Day... My Day will be MADE the day that we can 'afford' to get our son who believe me is a NO FEAR - Go Hard or Go Home, Competitive lil Off Roader ALREADY into A Trophy Kart that is BOTH AFFORDABLE AND SAFE... THANKYOU.
Why hello there mrs killarpaint....... Your big words don`t scare me.... lol... Now why would i want your husbands retaliations and come backs to stop? I don`t mind debating this subject at all if it puts a stop to some of the negativity and cheap shots that has been instegated here. I have been very clear about what i have written its just some people may have problems with comprehension.... How can i ask him for clarifcation when i don`t even know who i`m talking to you or him? Pretty funny you had to step in though.... Did he even know???

I agree 936, this is the funniest thread Ive read in a long time. Here's a thought, why not use the weekend to SPEND TIME with your kids, & not wasting it on the bloody computer talking about how much MONEY you want/dont want to spend on them!
good point lenlord but it is entertaining the only reason my name is on the topic is i forgot to log of before kuster arrived at my place oh well it was funny
thanks boss truck finally some one with cents/sense!!!!! not dollars !!! i agree if u want to spend 10k or more on your kids truck then do it , but you also should be able to do it for a lot less!!!! and yes to the buggy idea , because we here in oz , have a bigger buggy field than truck followers , if they r the same chassis , suspension , motor , equal shocks , what dose it mater what body is on it!! the goal here is to teach our kids how to build and maintain , an off road truck or buggy , and not for dad just to go out and buy the best because he is loaded and spoil his kid forever thats just what this world and sport needs more spoiled rich brats!!!!!!!

Pete, as per your other inflammatory post, consider yourself warned. As also stated on the other post you're well outside of the spirit of this forum set by other members. Personal attacks will not be tolerated and some of your (or mrs peteskillerpaints) comments are very borderline.

well thats what i was trying to do get back on topic , and if you ask any one from my club that trully knows me! they would say to you i am a top bloke and will bend over backwards to help if i can , and yes i do have a problem with money as money is the root of all evil but thats just me!
pete we all have things that pee us off or dont agree with .mate dont start me there is one topic i started a week or so ago i would dearly like to expand on which would open a can of worms but i treat this site like somebody elses home and i am a visitor and i thank sorra for giving us offroaders a place to come and talk serious as well as crap on and with over 30years in the sport there is only a hand full of $#@% heads not worthy of being in our sport and they usually slink of into the sunset .get back what is important and go to the shed with your boys and work on that buggy yours in offroading
All I have been wanting to know is when something might happen with the trophy kart class...is it going to eventuate? Would anyone have any pics/info on Paul Simpsons karts? Has CAMS approved anything yet?
All the above has made great reading, I must agree with wolf that some of killa's remarks do seem inflammatory (and wolf must get involved as he is a moderator).
Come on guys, dont stop now. I have just got channel ten interested in doing a mini series. Cant settle on a name though. " The Bride & the Predujice", or "Kusters last Post"?
HAHA good one 936, who you got playing my part????

(In my opinion) I found the rudest/most inflammatory comments here (are you on crack? something about sniffing paint) have been made by Chris Hutton. Wolf, Is it because you guys are mates that he does not get a warning?
so i have skills in other areas i can wire a house i can aircondition a house i cant weld and i cant fibreglass so if i was to buy my kids a 10k trophy kart does that make them a spoilt rich brat that daddy gives everything to i dont think so i will still spend every moment i can preparing it for races with them which is a skill i do have so if my kids get branded spoilt rich brats for that there is something seriously wrong all we are thrying to do is get our kids into the sport we love so much how ever we can possibly do it. every body is in different situations

We had Hugh Jackman & Tom Cruise VERY Interested in the two leading roles........ unfortunately, budgetry restrainst ruled them both out, As an almost equal alternative, Some say even an improvement, we have signed on Norman Gunstan & Dame Edna Everidge as our two leading males. (Please dont ask me who is who cause I'm scared).

I don't know what hoops Paul Simpson has had to jump through to get approval but I can imagine that if you were going to get CAMS approval for kids to race you are far moe likely to suceed if you are using a 'certified' race car rather than letting anyone build one.
At this stage let Paul do it his way to get kids racing or it may never happen at all.
what about a kit version? Chassis notched and bent to be welded by a licensed welder, hubs, engine, body supplied to be bolted together by yourself? It could get delivered on a pallet. Mind you, so could a complete trophy kart I guess! haha.
Would that save a few bucks on buying one?
