GoKart

[Pants]

Interesting reading and just cements if for me, cheap as chips trolleys and to be avoided at all costs

Seems that I may have made a mistake in a previous post. Unlike the GoKart, perhaps you haven't got any redeeming features after all

I always thought it was RTFM (manual). What is the I?

Instructions presumably.

I did, I didn't understand them

Ah, fair enough. I kept thinking information and couldn't get past that. It didn't sound right.

Sometimes the instructions come on a sheet of paper - tricky to call that a manual but it works the same..
Must be a bloke thing...who needs instructions..

I was intrigued into this automatic control thing on these trolleys, so I googled it and found this video. It must be the worst advert/social media piece I have ever seen

My SiL used to work at an ad agency. They had a creative team who would follow a brief and come up with some great ideas. Quite often however the client would get more involved and insist on certain phrases, scenes etc. Those were invariably appalling and she would always apologise first and explain before showing the advert . This looks like one of those . Hearts in the right place but.....................

Speak for yourself, I'm convinced. I'm off out to buy a GoKart so I don't accidentally start dressing like the other guy.

Seems fair. It has clearly worked its magic on you

It isn't as bad as the local window and carpet firms where the owner insists on starring and just shouts the words out. Now they are awful.

No knobs sounds good to me.

Hold on though Smiffy owns one.

Never a good idea to mock those who don't own or use your product.

Nice to see Crawford back stirring it as usual . I've had the GoKart automatic for donkeys years with no problems or complaints.
Mibbie slightly under powered.
But my PP had to send his back twice because the speed control was faulty, it would shoot away at full speed at the slightest touch

'You buy one, you get one free, I SAID YOU BUY ONE, YOU GET ONE FREE!'

That little guy shouting that at me through my TV, still lives in my head and I doubt it will ever go away.

The advert is similar to their web site and their attitude when you deal with them - they dont take themselves too seriously, but they do make a good trolley. I've had mine some years now, anything goes wrong they just mail the bits out pronto, I have it serviced occasionally and it comes back almost brand new and with a new 2 year warranty. If you talk to them nothing is too much trouble.

The advert does have a (now) former European Tour player (and damn fine coach these days)

Apparently that guy was their top salesman hence why he starred in the advert, and a bit whacky which is always memorable

Wasn't the guy from that advert an actor from Coronation Street?
