to be honest my free time is too valuable to watch his whole video.
i did scan parts of it.
it looks like any guy trying to make a buck on a new trend.
and somebody wanting a vintage kart to be cool will probably buy it.
anyway, if he has an external points box on his "artpiece" it isn't an mc9.
good chance its a kart converted saw motor or worse a repainted and refitted with kart parts saw motor.
almost makes me willing to make other comments on his kart.
but why bother?
instead i will say at least people are becoming more aware of the potential value of a vintage kart.
why is this good?
price wise it won't be but we probably will see less old karts being cut up to make "improvements".
that possibility is a good one.
and like cars and bikes someone with little or no knowledge may start out at an unreasonable price.
but when it doesn't sell that'll self correct.
will this trend raise prices?
i'm sure it will.
but the good side of that is it makes repops a viable option.
just my random thoughts for today.
