Motor Vehicle Dept.

Doon Academy/ Kilmarnock College’s Motor Vehicle Department has taken delivery of two quad bikes and a Vauxhall Vectra for pupils to work on to develop their motor mechanic skills. Vehicle ramps and tyre-changing facilities will be fitted to the base in the near future. For their courses S3 pupils have been given the task of designing a cycle with more than two wheels. They will compete against each other around various designated circuits. S4 pupils have almost completed their 6month project to design a barstool racer. Plans were downloaded from the Internet and, upon completion, the group have to file a report and send photographs to the designer in the U.S.A.
