Sometimes you see some funny things that are hard to relate in words.
I was sitting in my local pub yesterday reading the paper and noticed three older people arrive asking for a table. One was driving an electric buggy.
She managed to get it ten feet into the dining area, then proceeded to do a right turn amongst the chairs and tables.
At this point she must have hit the "go" button then all hell broke loose. The reception girl was sent flying over a chair whilst the buggy continued on demolishing tables, chairs and every other thing in it's path. By the time it ended, a third of the dining area was in shambles.
As much as I tried, I couldn't stop this thing until it did a full ark and hit a wall.
I shouldn't say this, but it was a comical scene for a while.
However there's a serious side to this. I'm selling the Prado and buying a buggy. Far more torque and totally unstoppable. No more sissy Toyota's and Nissan's for me!
Regards
Kim

Steady on Crazy Dog. What's this reference to
grey nomads?

Absolutely lethal in a shopping centre.
I live on the Central Coast NSW where Spike Milligan referred to it as the worlds greatest standing up grave yard.
Bloody things are everywhere.
LOL

it made me laugh anyway.
i must agree as
well, there's an old regular in the local pub who has just got a new buggy and it goes like hell.
the 0-20kph is pretty good and there's always a big cheer when he hurtles out of the
carpark after a few bevies.
