Hmm...I see a couple of problems.

The constructor seems to have the variable name that you want to create gokart in it. It does not need that. Also it looks like you are assigning the member variable to your argument, those seem flipped. And finally the constructor should not return, they just initialize your values.

Hope it helps! Keep at it!

Dear Craig,

Thanks a lot for your support, I figured it out my self before you reply :). I just have a small suggestion, if you can please add hints in the quizzes that would be great. Hints that are hidden by default and if we try and couldn't do it then we simply look at the hint.

Regards
