Back from holidays and part of my usual activities I went round to visit each of our divisions, while I was at Aspitech I couldn't help notice they had a couple of "unused" electric buggies, sadly the motors and gearboxes have been removed, but thought people might be interested.
Also I noticed they have quite a few laptops piling up there too, they tell me they are low-end and untested, but remember some people have been asking me about them.
If you want them, give them a call and tell them you would like to have a look and make an offer when you are there, tell them you are from hackerspace and Robert sent you :-)
If you are representing a community group, club or arts, music, organisation/artist - Tip: Aspitech will give freebies, if you can prove it and offer some in-kind promotion that Aspitech in return ;-)

Yes they are, no details, other than they are red, they are new stock (though covered in dust) looks like they have been cannibalised for parts.
Sadly lots of this kind of thing comes in, but the cost of photographing, reading specification plates and pooping it on ebay is not very cost effective particularly as they have a shortage of space, so often they get dismantled for recycling.
I only mention things like this when if notice them, when I'm on one of my visits from time to time.
I really encourage people to visit there is something different each day, ask Tamsyn she has been doing some casual work there recently.

upload if you want?

Still here. Even managed to pick you up a small LCD monitor for it - just
needs a mouse and keyboard.
