MY 10 yr old grandsons school has an after school club called " Go-Goblins " where local school`s can assemble a " kit " 12v electric car , ( all the same ) but design , build and paint the individual bodywork , as a " get interested in engineering " project , last weekend saw the inter-school challenge held at Plumpton Agricultural College , complete with a slalom course and a drag strip ! Our team werent the fastest... due to being the heaviest - REAL grass , daffodils and cress growing on it ;D but all the kids had great fun , and we won the " Greenest Car " award.....

The Daf drive-belt syndrome arrived....... [/img] then it was back in the garage....( well , teachers car...) , but the kids all had a GREAT time !

Oh, I like that! Wish they'd done things like that at my schools! Wouldn't have changed my love of machines cos that was there already but might have let me indulge it a bit earlier ;D
