Wot! No WOF?

Go-Kart drivers will have anything on--otherwise they wouldn't drive go-karts -- so Tom Kane, the vehicle inspector at Gisborne's testing station, wasn't surprised the other day when Alan Hill and John Worsnop turned up at the door looking for a warrant of fitness for their diminutive vehicles.

It was just a "have-on", of course, but Tom obligingly went through the paces, discovered the karts qualified in many of the tests, but fell far short on others (brakes, one wheel only; lights, none at all).

A big Anniversary Weekend Go-Kart Meeting is planned to take place at the Patutahi Domain, January 28 and 29, when enthusiasts from 10 other North Island centres will be present.

Brake tests: Wheels 1, 2 and 3, nil. Wheel No. 4: Extra good.

No warrant, so the karts had to be karried away
