    By cycle Karts, do you mean you pedal them?
    If so, that would be a fun form of exercise.

    Hi David!
    That article brought back some old memories.
    Frazer Nash built some great sports cars in the 30's.

    Its size made me think of the Lotus Seven used by Patrick McGoohan in 'The Prisoner'.

    Hi Barry,
    The answer to that would be "Nope"...
    The reasons being: -
    1: that I had only just been thought of...
    2: my parents didn't have a TV & so, even as a baby, I wouldn't have been exposed.

    Magnificent photos though = Me
