Hello, newbie here - please be gentle!

I am a pom currently spending a year in California and just got my first taste of land yachting on El Mirage dry lake. It was a quick spin two-up in a Manta Twin but I have to say it blew my mind with how 'alive' it felt at speed. Fortunately it had a similar (and quite unexpected) effect on my other half who announced on her return that we must buy one immediately.


I have read through a fair bit of the forum and searched for threads about the various minis but cannot seem to find much comment on their relative merits. We need something easy to store and capable of going into the boot of the car which will also be useable once we return to the UK. I suppose a Blokart is the obvious choice and I do rather like them but would appreciate any opinions on others such as the Seagull Ludic / Silence and Airtrack Scoot family.

Perhaps I should point out that I am a somewhat chunky 100Kg and we need easy adjustability for leg length.

Anyway, I have really enjoyed scanning this great forum which knocks all others into a cocked hat.
