I just got the lates Mazda magazine "Zoom Zoom" and there was an article on blokarts in it!! This is what it said with a large picture of someone in a blowy up on two wheels:

Ridethis...
Blokarting is the latest hybrid sport catching wind. A fusion of go-karting and sailing, blokarts are custom built in New Zealand. At a trim 29kg, these land yachts fold up small enough to fit in your boot, just take five minutes to assemble and can top 90kph www.blokat.com

Hi Hills,

I have a Mazda Tribute and the only thing that goes "Zoom Zoom" is the Fuel gauge, from Full to Empty after only about 300kms

...and the seats are only marginally more comfortable than a BK also.

Well here's my Falcon list:

XP 4 door sedan (first one I got and the last one I got rid of)
XM 2 door Futura hardtop (still kicking myself for ever getting rid of this one!!!!)
XT sedan
XD panel van
XF station wagon

Ironically I now have a VK Brock commodore locked away. Talk about going to the dark side!! [}:)]

Yeah just rub salt into the wound

I saw the exact model (XM falcon futura fordomatic 200 super pursuit) on the market for over $20k a while back. I sold mine for $1500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to get a bloody escort panel van

My uncle's father started the biggest Ford dealership here in Adelaide (Maughan Theim Ford) and ordered 2 of these, one for a client and one for his son. I bought it off him for $1000 so I thought I was doing alright. (Now I'm really depressed)

Please let me know as soon as Kody builds a time machine!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! THis is what it looked like, ok now I'm just torturing myself

Unfortunately, Kody can't respond to the request for a time machine. The Government took all her plans and equipment away. She is also unable to do any work for at least two more weeks as she has partialy dislocated (torn) her shoulder muscle. We were asked to help track a lost pedigree dog (neighbours) and as Kody was running along following the day old scent of the dog, she collasped on the ground with lots of crying shrieks that drove my heart into my mouth and tears from my eyes.. I took her to the Animal Hospital in Rockie and now Kody has to stay quiet and not run or jump for two more weeks. The Vet said she should be ok but we are to watch her closely and give her lots of TLC. She is taking drugs to ease the pain and inflamation but it's possible she may have future problems with her shoulder joint. We hope and pray she will be fully restored, she is after all, our little girl. (Anthropomorphics is alowed for our Kody.)
I am also out of action with a badly infected foot. I had to front up to the Base Hospital where a speargrass seed/point (??) was cut out from deep in my foot.

Apparently in their day the XM and XP hard tops were called "fish shop falcons" as a major percentage of them were owned by ex-mediterranean fish shop owners. (Before they all moived to purple valiants )
