tbird Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Just on the off chance, anyone got an old wheelchair kicking around, this is not for use by someone who is unfirm, I am involved in organising a charity auto trial type challenge but we are going to use wheelchairs, passenger navigating, driver blindfold, can't promise wheelchairs will survive so no bright shiny decent ones that might go to someone who needs one, happy to refurb if needed, and if we can figure out a way to get it up here , Northumberland not Skye. cheersTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Lots of second hand ones around for sale ... for obvious reasons. Watch out for lightweight ones with small swivelling front castor wheels ... as they can start to wobble in an uncontrolled manner at any speed ! Not good for racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Cheers Ian, we have one so far, just need a second one for that side by side edginess and maybe a spare or 2 for the pits may have to buy if no free options, talked to local red cross, response was, if only you had only come 6 months ago we skipped loads of them, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
