How much is 20,000 pounds?
Currency converter says about $39,700 plus or minus a buck or two.

If I had that kind of scratch ... I'd have one in the stable !!

If you have never run a competitive level "go cart" (technically called karts), you should try one.

They are way faster and harder to drive than you might think and are the best bang for the buck if you want to go racing.

One of my karts is capable of breaking 100 mph....at less than an inch off the ground...

The Ariel Atom is one of the coolest machines for the road I have ever seen....I plan on getting one....some day.

Well, I just drooled over that thing for the last half hour... Now I have to win the lottery to buy two of them, and enough land to build a track to have some serious fun...
