LOL!!!!! That one dose about 43mph and will wheel stand it around 50' I also have a few sparkies that run 27mph!!!!! But of course not at the Fort I take my carts on ATV trails its a blast.

 

[des1954]

We just sold our Club Car (electric) that my DH customized. He put a special motor & gears on it & it would go about 23MPH. The guy who bought it lives in our neighborhood and he's bragging about being faster than all the other "old farts" around here!!!

We replaced it with a 4 seat GEM Car that does 27MPH. DH is going to try and figure out how to remove the governor so it'll go faster! It's all about the speed!!

 

[tungpo1]

Not too sure about the Gem carts having a govenor, I know they are a 72volt sparkie you can change out the motor and controller and pick up some speed and torque. I will check into that for you.

You've got Jeb Bush on that thing?

 

[bigdisneydaddy]

They traded in Jeb on a new guy. We would be happy to send our Canadian socialist their way.

Off-Course Golf Cart Driver In DUI Arrest
Skip directly to the full story.
Published: Dec 3, 2007
HOLIDAY - After seeing the vehicle swerving in and out of traffic Saturday night, the deputy knew what was up.

So the deputy pulled over the golf cart.

Donald Leonard Carlson, 46, of 4966 Continental Drive, Holiday, was arrested just before 11 p.m. Saturday on a charge of driving under the influence, an arrest report states.

The deputy spotted the golf cart, which had no lights, cross six lanes of heavy traffic on U.S. 19, just south of Alt. 19. The golf cart crossed all southbound lanes and stopped in the center of U.S. 19. It then went north on the highway, making northbound cars slow down to avoid hitting it, according to the report.

Carlson refused a breathalyzer test, but the deputy noted his glassy eyes and slurred speech, the report says.

He was being held Sunday afternoon in the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $250.

It's not Carlson dummy, it's Colson. I noticed he didn't post this weekend now I know why. LMAO. He didn't have any peacocks on the cart did he?

Colson who? He's a myth. Comes on, oh I"m going to the Fort, blah blah blah...... goes, and you never hear from him again.

Myth? Than where did the baby come from?

freaky weird stuff going on here..

You haven't been around long enough to call me a myth

Sorry, real life has been in the way, plus the DIS has been painfully slow. Also, I rarely sign in on the weekends, this is something I do at work.

To be honest, I was kind of getting a bit of overkill on the Fort. I noticed these last couple of trips that the whole "wonder" of the Fort had gone away a bit, mainly because I spent every day here talking about it. Plus, all the new stuff that I would have discovered, I already knew about, so it kind of took some of that excitement away.

I spent the last year and a half as a very active member of this camping community (after lurking for years), but I'm going to take some time off for a while. I didn't realize it, but talking about the Fort 5 days a week kind of took away some of the magic for me, and I don't want to lose that.

P.S. When have I ever said I'm going to the Fort and dissapeared? This is the first time I've been at the Fort since last Thanksgiving, I have a tendency to dissapear after trips (and not the Fort) cause it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things. But I've never once said before I was going to the Fort and then dissapeared. There were a couple times you THOUGHT I was going to the Fort when I wasn't (staying at another Disney resort), but that is beyond my control

It was just losing a bit of the magic for me, and I've never had that feeling before. And the only difference is that I never have spent this much time talking about the Fort before. I'm just going to go back to lurking for a while

Coward.

Life was so much easier a year and a half ago. Engaged, living alone, no mortgage, no children on the way.

Not that I would trade it, but real life has intervened...lol

 

[drafthorsecrazy]

Most of us here are dealing with marriages, mortgages, and kids..... FW is our escape!

it's all good brother, Donnie and I were looking forward to meeting you on 7/4, but we were mistaken, then we were expecting many pictures from Colson's crossing but

You should be proud that so many people want to meet you and hang out with you. Take a guy like Ft Wilderness guy, we only want him for his KUNGALOOOOOOSH

My advice to you is to drink heavily whilst you have a designated driver.......

Yepper. When that baby arrives, you're gonna be toting the load.

I feel so cheap and used.

 

[ntsammy5]

I'm at MCO and leaving AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. The Fort looks naked. When you guys said they cleared out brush you weren't kidding. I think I like it but I'm not sure. I think I'm parked out for a while, but I'm coming back in a month. I did my best to drink Epcot out of beer but I didn't succeed! Ran into BigDaddyRog. I always pictured him as 6'8" tall and a golden Adonis. I WAS WRONG! He's only 6'7"!

BTW the West End bus stop is closed -- have to go to Planet Hollywood to get a bus. Not a real big deal, but.......

Well, I'll save more for later.

 

[Gatordad]

Only 6-7..... i can take him no problem....... i might have to use the hippo hurricane hollar.

I see where you're coming from. Life changes and it takes some time to adjust! DH and I are a couple of homes, a relo and 3 kiddo's into it...and it doesn't get any easier, haha. Have fun with it and enjoy the changes. I think the "making of traditions" is the best part....one of which is our new spring break tradition at the Fort!

Just wait for that little boy, Colson! All that Disney magic you remember will come back to you more intensely than you could ever imagine!
