He probably did. Some people just have no sense of humour.

Great vids, what a cool little kid, loving every minute of it

any bets as to how long before the chin strokers etc arrive to moan and bitch about this??

"Speed limits" this, "not on a public road" that, "irresponsible father" the other......

Vertakill

That is so cool.

For a kid that age, it must be like having your own personal rollercoaster!

Looks faster than it is. I've had the pleasure of being in a westfield and 30 miles an hour feels and sounds like double that when your 6 inches off the ground with practically no suspension under you!!:D

Where's clip three, where the little lad throws up all over the seat...?

I visited the westfield factory in Birmingham and had a spin in their demo car, I was a bit like the little kid in the vid asking if we could go fast again

Is it just me or does it look incredibly uncomfortable? I appreciate the type of beast the Caterham 500 is but it looks to be a regular public highway (which in the UK are better than ours by the way) yet it appears to be very hard suspension?
Maybe it's designed as a track? Or maybe the amateur camera makes it look worse than it is? Still love a blast in one though.

Coolest.

Dad.

Reminds me of my nephew when I took him for a drive in a 225 audi TT.. I just could not get it to accelerate fast enough for him... He was only 6 LOL

CarMuppet

They look like they are having a blast... great clip... the small fellow is grinning from ear to ear.. time to get him Karting!!


Now without being pedantic...... that seatbelt on the kid is not tight enough! tut tut....... sorry had to be said. :P
