WOOOO HOOOO, sold the golf cart today!!!! I am kinda sad, but kinda happy, that's a chunk o change that will almost pay for the fuel to get to the fort!!!! We are going to bring dad's cart, its ugly, and needs painted and seat covers, but it runs great!!!

Well, that puts us one step closer to the party, I would say our chances are up to about 60% now!!!

That's great man I hope you make it. Maybe you can get Ron to bring some cart parts to the Fort and he can Trick your cart.

Thanks Michael, I thought about having ron bring me some seat covers LOL.


OK fort fiends, something else happened last night, that sent us 1 step CLOSER to the fort!!!!That puts us at about 75%.


If I can get one more thing to fall into place, then I think we are definite!!!! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!

Maybe she'll put the kids on the porch and you can have a bunk.

rumor has it that someone in my trailer snores, I promised Patti I wouldnt tell anyone about it. The porch would be safer.

Well, since you offered.....I will need:

4 tires, a couple of axels
1 chassis
1 engine
1 battery
1 steering wheel
1 gas pedal
and as many as you can fit cup holders
and a key.
no need for seats - - I can just duct tape my lawn chairs in it
also, no need for a roof, that's what umbrellas are for.


oh, and if you could pimp it all out for me (like maybe somehow add a tiki bar on there, I'd really appreciate it

Thanks! Can't wait to get there and take everyone for a spin!!

p.s. I forgot to mention instrucions for assembly, thx

 

[tungpo1]

I'll bring my tools

 

[LONE-STAR]

I'll bring my tools

That's what I was thinking you really needed to bring. You know somebody's cart will break. Maybe you should build a tow cart and bring that.

Ebay had the most awesome roll back golf cart a while back, it really worked, it had hydraulics, the bed moved back and down, it had a winch everything just like a real roll back tow truck.

Now that would be COOL!!! Golf cart tow truck driver at the fort, why didn't that show up on my career assessment test in high school???

, it had a winch everything just like a real roll back tow truck.

I'd be more impressed if it came with a wench!

With wenches you have to be careful when hooking up.

We will be there the last week of October... unfortunately, we have already had to drop one of the parks (AK) for money reasons..... our water heater has decided to die.... perfect timing. We went with a tankless... got a really good deal on it, however, electrician says we have to modify our breaker amps? and more wiring to accomodate it....chi ching...$$$$$ We're still taking cold showers until we have him back out finish installation. ugh.... had plumber come out yesterday.... thought that was bad. Going tankless may have not been the cost savings we anticipated.... oh well. We're still going to WDW... atleast.... we're hoping.
