"We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing."

I love these random unhinged Diresta videos every now an then.

Gotta love the way you feel reliving your childhood, a grin so wide it’s painful that lasts for a few days, aches and pains that remind you of your age but you still grin knowing that you loved every second of it, and the memories that keep making you smile every time.

Nothing is cooler than seeing a grown man smile like a 15 year old kid on a gokart! The 13th is gonna be awesome!

I have great memories of ripping around my neighbor’s yard in a dingo. The thing vibrated so much that it would shear bolts all the time. One of the great things about it is the solid live axle.

look at this old child how happy he is with his kart...I love it Jimmy boy

What an amazing surprise this was! Great video as always Jimmy and glad to see the foam came in handy 💪 It’s a trip seeing you in the Shadow Foam Tee at the start too! Would you fancy a tool hunt next time I’m in the states? 🇺🇸 ❤

Yes!! Sorry I missed you guys in May ! Maybe next spring 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Well...there goes the neighborhood :). Jimmy makes every 12 year old's dreams a reality.

now we need a diresta dirt track, hope to see you sat

I could say “I wanna be like Jimmy when I grow up,” - the problem with that is that Jimmy never grew up 😂

I had one in the 80's, and man so I miss it to this day!

Next mod could be a mower deck slung underneath and you can mow the lawns while having fun. Now that's multi-tasking!! Have fun! We had a kart many years ago and used to rip around a vacant block behind MiL's house, so I know how much fun you are having.

Your buddy is going to want that cart back now. (giggle)

Such an impressive transformation: Agile, speed machine in red, so delightfully inspiring to watch the build & drive. Thank you for sharing!

My Dad tore apart my little sisters swing set and welded me up a go kart. it took her years to forgive me...that's 65 years ago.

Jimmy boy reliving his youth. Love it!

Great transformation! Thanks for planning the steering wheel oopsy for our entertainment.😉 Seriously, happy you were not injured.

This is what enjoying life should be like. well done. I wish I were this talented. Please use this tool constantly for everyone who likes this video as much as I do.

You just miss the opportunity to call it The Direskart And great job (of course !!)

Amazing go kart rebuild Jimmy! Those driving scenes were just nuts! Well done! 👍👍

Looks great! Straightforward fun “restoration”

Can't wait to see it next week!

Awesome restoration! I love the leather wrapped steering wheel. That was a nice touch. Looks like a blast to drive.

Amazing transformation, looked like you were having a blast.

From Jimmy to Jimmy, as Always Truly Inspiring, with everything you do

Absolutely great video Jimmy love to see you smiling like a little kid with his new go kart on Christmas morning. . Thanks for sharing

I love the way the music speeds up during the time lapses! :D Makes the whole thing seem so manic and urgent!!!!

Sigue así haciendo lo que te apetezca . Keep doing what you want.

Thats awesome, I'm sitting here taking a break from fixing my go-kart after a major crash....love it!

I assembled so many of these back in the 90's at a lawn and garden shop I worked at in Terre Haute IN. They even made a two seater version that IMHO was the birth of side by side off-road.

This was so fun to watch!

That's awesome! Really rips 🔥

Now that's a lot of fun for sure ! Great video Jimmy

Looks like you had a blast filming the last couple mins of this one.

So many great and refined tips, the race track is going to have the best collection of go-karts ever!

This looks like soooo much fun!

Cara, você é inspiração para mim, aqui no Brasil! Parabéns!👏👏👏👏

OG did it again! Nice Job!

You deserve every minute of your life... well done, Sir. Well done.

That's sweet! Great job! See how you hold the steering wheel mainly on the top, you could chop the bottom half off...

Wow. What fun! Super build.

Love to see you guys keeping this annual go kart event going.

Thanks! The bit at the end with you just tearing around, got me laughing, so hard and so long throughout the whole thing. Yeah, it works.

Always a cool project and a cool video!

Reminds me of jumping on a trampoline with my daughters and laughing my ass off like a little kid. Forgot how fun it was. Good job jimmy.

Wow great job a always Jimmy! Thank you for the video!

That looked like so much fun.

Love to see you having so much fun Jimmy !!! Wuuuujuuuuuu!!! Love and respect from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷!!! 🤙🏼🤘🏼🌴🌊🏎️🏎️🏎️💨💨💨

I'm in full support of more such videos!

Bonjour ! Quel super boulot !! Vous êtes vraiment le meilleur !

New farm toy! I can already see a tow hitch being attached to the back of that thing!

A real fun project!

Looked like you had more fun "test" driving the kart than anything you've done in recent memory! Wish could get up to the track and see it on the 13th. Have fun, Jim!

2:10 Now there's one happy person! A picture of pure joy :)

Loved this jimmy. 🤙

Love the custom steering wheel!

If I had a huge garden and a few grand to spend, I'd do the same thing Jimmy 😂

Jimmy I sure wish you’d have fun with your projects once in awhile! 😉 This was really fun to watch!

Great format. Feels like OG Diresta from 12-15 years ago!

And now I'm imagining him dragging that cart up a set of stairs out of his basement shop and racing around the streets in it. Made with a bunch of tools painted white, and his logo spray painted on the back of the seat of course...

Feel like what this little monster needs extra to really finish it up is some flood lights on top and a small cow-catcher bumper on the front. Love it, cute little beast it is and seeing the ear-to-ear smile on your face tells me it must be really fun to zoop around in.

The push sticks reminded me of the articulated ones you made as props for Spike . Jimmy is the Godfather of Cool. 'Nuf said !

Sweet ride 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 like the leather seat

Fantastic work, Jimmy! Really well done!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Man you're out there living your best life

I can see a market for custom-fabricated steering wheels! Great job and you didn't die having all that fun.

nice work, would love that amount of space, id be making crazy stuff!

Always keep a pair of Vice Grips handy in case the steering wheel falls off! Cool build , the colors are spot on. Be Safe!

Wow, a Tecumseh motor... Haven't seen one of those in ages. They used to make them here in my town. 😂

I love it. It should have a big antenna dangling on the back.

With a Diresta flag.

Great film. Looks like fun. Cool cart, very capable. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Jimmy! Awesome video! Looks like you rediscovered your inner 12 year old with the sheer amount of joyous fun you were having.

Wayyyyy too much fun! 😎

it was so funny to watch 🤣 very nice kart! the wheeldrive is a nice madmax touch!

You’re having too much fun!🤩

Wow another great video You’re awesome keep up the good work

Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad to see you're having fun, Jimmy! Even though pulling the rope was a workout. LOL!

I love watching you make toys

You are having entirely too much fun and I’m jealous 😅

Rode a dingo when I was around 12. There was also an Excalibur that had a serious cage and four-point harness. Both scared the hell out of me but I guess that’s because the huge yard and gravel road became so much smaller when you’re going full speed. I preferred dirt bike for going between trees and jumps.

It's like Bowser from Mariokart 😆 Also, don't underestimate superglue, I "fixed" a deep slice in my car tyre that'd gone through to the inner fibres using some (it was Thursday, I noticed the damage when I got home, it needed to survive until the weekend when I could get it replaced, modern cars here don't have spare wheels any more). Both me and the tyre repair guy were surprised it worked. I didn't tell him I'd done 300 miles of motorway driving on it though...

Really inspiring👏🏻👍🏻

The excitement!!!

The adventure music is great!!!

I always love a Jimmy Direstorations That is one schaweet gokart 👍 🏎

As a 53 year old man with a go-cart of his own I can say that I totally recognize that $h!7 eating grin on Jimmy's face! Who know going 25MPH could be so fun!?

Hi Jimmy. What a cool build! Really neat steering wheel design, even if it did need a little tweaking, during the Qualys Assurance phase. I was hoping you would be putting on another get together at your racetrack after the teaser last week. That one looked like a blast. I remember Mustie came down for it and someone (I don't recall who) had a cart with a motorcycle engine that went like 100MPH. Nice that you have that track. I think a public track might limit the festivities and frown on some of the activities! Looking forward to seeing your cart in action.

Awesome mod! That’s got some power to spin those wheels. I’ve been wanting to attend since the first one so definitely got to put this event on the calendar for next year. Thanks for all the riding footage at the end. Always great to see the payoff.

16:08 - An amazing moment🤣

Thanks for sharing

Wow! Awesome. I was getting dizzy just watching you.😵‍💫 Lol

I need a lawnmower that can go Diresta go-cart fast. Don't lose that wheel Jimmy D.

This heals my inner child. My mom never let me ride one of these. Super jealous 😂

Cool! I've seen those speed changing pulley assemblies for cheap online. It would be cool to retrofit one on a drill press or mill.

I think, Colin Furze has something he could race you with😂,NICE rebuild

Nuthin better than ripping around on a go kart or little dirt bike 😊

It's the Jimmy DiRedsta Roadstah!

Hello Jimmy good job well done

I've been thinking that an overhead bridge crane would be a helpful addition to the new shop. And potentially a really cool project as well.

I haven't driven a go-cart in a looong time, I want one again after watching this :D
