Big Ben(t)

From Go-Kart To Woe Kart

Things to remember when selling an item on eBay - don't damage the goods! Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton pranged his McLaren Mercedes go-kart - minutes after selling it for £42,000, with the proceeds to go to charity. He damaged a rear axle when he crashed on a corner of the specially-built track in Central London. McLaren Mercedes will repair the damage before it is handed over to its new owner. Ironically, the prang took place at only 40mph.

Thanks for your comment David. I have the children felting now too - should be an interesting day! (yes, it's still raining).

Hi Papoosue,

Just the thing to do in that sort of weather. You could send some of the rain to us. We really need it here!

Cheers

David
