Re: Fiberglass Buggy Sand-Beach Driving - Advice and Suggest

lastmanx, I do appreciate your reply. Personally, I have taken my dune buggy on the sands of both North Topsail Beach and the Outer Banks (Corolla), without sand-steer brakes and without airing down my tires, with very good success. Obviously, both options should be considered if soft sand condition...

Fiberglass Buggy Sand-Beach Driving - Advice and Suggestions

Hello everyone, I plan to link to this thread from my East Coast Dune Buggies website (http://www.eastcoastdunebuggies.com). Personally, I have some experience in what I would consider to be driving in the sand and/or on the beach involving fiberglass dune buggies, but it never hurts to add to the o...

Re: MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS APRIL & MAY

APRIL & MAY RENEWALS went out today. Those of you whose membership expired in March and you didn't renew, this will be your LAST mania and your access to the forums will be denied as of 5/10/17 Certainly, I encourage all active Manx Club members to renew any lapsing memberships, but it is my un...

Re: New Buggy

From what I can tell, the rear cage bumper offered by meyersmanx.com (although pricey) provides for that step-up feature to allow for clearance, but others that own that particular product should chime in to confirm on what I think I see in the photos. Here is a link to the bumper that I am referrin...

Re: It's not you it's me

I sent the text below as a Private Message to lastmanx, and he replied by asking me to post it publicly. In his response to me, I could tell that he in no way wanted his original post to be taken in such of a heavily negative light; he was just telling it like it is from his point of view. I have no...

Re: New Buggy

Hi mykee50, Man, that buggy looks fantastic; I like the color and simplicity. Looking through Ryan's old thread, I noticed where he had purchased a Manx sidewinder exhaust. Just a word of caution; the newer versions of the (one piece) sidewinder exhaust may not accept the traditional rear cage style...

Re: It's not you it's me

Your comments such as this, "as I have noticed lately here at the manxclub it would probably be a group of trailered buggys and a support vehicle for the one driven buggy, who will receive a patch for driving it more than mile" will be missed. But then again; perhaps not.

Re: NEW REVISION OF MANXCLUB BYLAWS

My concerns on the By-Laws changes were plainly stated in a previous post. I received a quick response and most of my concerns were addressed and made part of the process to change the Manx Club By-Laws in April 2016. There may be a few concerns for me in terms of some policies/methods that are now...
