26/09/05 :
And the winner of the Italjet Dragster.com Caption Competition is... Soeley from Oldham, Lancashire (member #1397) who
wins himself an exclusive Drag.com Wall Clock. Thank you to all the wordsmiths who entered. The winning caption (as chosen by my missus so that the
judging was impartial) is as follows:
"Go Go Power Ranger, mega-morphin flying mode."
Well done Soeley! The clock will be winging its way to you shortly...
20/09/05 : eBay Scooter Links
It has come to our attention lately that users of eBay have been preying on scooterists
by selling links to websites where they can purchase supposedly 'cheap parts' for scooters,
when in fact they have been selling links to the following companies:
www.ve-uk.com
www.scooter-centre.com
www.beedspeed.com
What's even more worrying is that several people have actually found this information useful! Are they
that stupid considering all they have to do is take the wording that is put up on eBay, and type it into a search engine
and therefore get the information they need for themselves? Some self-respecting scooter owners have been getting their own back by purchasing
these items and leaving the links in the feedback of the sellers, nice one lads!
At time of writing eBay have not replied to emails about this subject.

TAG mag on tour in Wellingborough for shop opening
If you live in Northants you might be interested to know that there is a new scooter shop
called 'Boost Ya Scoot' opening at 7 Cambridge St, Wellingborough NN8 1DJ. You are all invited to
come along - and TAG, the UKs premiere auto-scooter magazine will also be there, so you might even get your picture in print.
'Boost Ya Scoot' will be concentrating on selling all things relating to customising and tuning.
The open day will be Saturday 8 October and there will be special offers for the day.
