Hi Jon and welcome to the club. I'm the same in so far as I used to tow a little Aixam behind my motor home but you've made a good decision there because for laughs a minute QPods win hands down.  Just one word of warning mate don't get involved with the Frozen Schnaps it's deadly!!!!!!

Thanks for that Chris

As I was on my way to buy my Qpod on Sunday Morning about 10.40 I saw a Qpod going the other way  just down from East Ardsley  I guess that was you. I've just had a quick natter with Mick Cassell so there seems to be a few about round Wakefield area.  Cheers Jon

Yeah that would have been me having just been told off for going too fast down the lane between Kirkhamgate and Gawthorpe by an angry old farmer hey-ho.  We'll have to have a bit of a jaunt out one weekend while the weather is still warm. Mick is just over in Crofton, Mags is in Doncaster and our friends Mal & Pat will probably come up with their pod for the weekend for a ride out to the pub. Keep in touch, cheers, Chris.

Hi,I,m a motorhome owner and I,m looking for a post 2003 Qpod sport. Anyone thinking of selling one please get in touch! Also any input about towing one would be greatly received. I heard the 2003 on models have better wheel bearings for towing?!?

Incidentally Eddie James, since you mention your experience in Parliament Square...

When I lived in Sussex, before we moved to Gibraltar, we used the Funtech very often on sunny days.

One day, we travelled 13 miles around the Sussex countryside being followed closely by a Police Car.

Suddenly, it blew the siren as a signal for me to stop, which I did, in a country lane.

A very friendly police woman got out and said"Its all right"..."yoiu have done nothing wrong"..."you have been driving  faultlessly"..."I have been following you"...."but ...PLEASE...what is it ?"..."You see there are 55 entries in the police computer (come and have a look) as we are really puzzled" .."can you put us out of our misery and tell us?"...As she had a co- driver, my wife waited on the side of the road and I took her for a short spin, and then the co-driver. They became instant fans....So...whenever a Police car went past us..they used to blow the siren as a salute, startling everybody....LOL.

Hello everyone, my name is Roy and the other half is Debbie, we live in Dorchester, Dorset. Saw a Qpod a few years ago, in fact  a local garage was dealing them for a while, loved the look of it then but had no money.

Times change, kids grown up, promotion at work, mortgage nearly paid, more cash than before so had enough to get one Yippee.

Then it was a challenge to find one, after weeks of surfing the net i eventually stumbled on one in Cardiff.

So I Fitted a towbar to the camper on Friday and went to Cardiff saturday and collected it. Brilliant condition QPod Fun, had a drive round the estate in Cardiff, paid, hooked it onto the van and headed home, tows lke a dream, Got home around 4pm and decided to let the wife have a go in the pod, big mistake, she drove straight into a skip. I forgot that she has never ridden a motorcycle and hand throttle control was totally alien to her.

No damage just a scuff on a tyre phew.

Just need Road Tax now and i can get on the road. :-))

Hi

I am Suzanne I bought Ian Hancock's Funtech 50 and I love it !!! We both live in the glorious Central Coast of Australia ( Avoca Beach) Its handy for me because I have a severe back problem and cant walk down to beach and shops which was costing me $$$ in my car. This little guy has saved $$ and lotsa fun in a beach community. Lots of looks and photos from passers by. You should see Ian's other vehicles !! wow ....

Anyway nice to be on board here.
