We seemed to have missed a response from the owners of the the October picture. I saw those buggies in October too... We are now almost half way through November as well.

So what is the story with the VanHalen wrap. I am guessing it was used as a promotional tool at one point.

Post a picture of the rear of the buggy and we can see if it is a California Clipper.

Thanks again for putting this together. I really appreciate the ones I have gotten in the past.

I appreciate it, but I have a new, in the box windshield and a gull wing hardtop that needs a little work. I just recently met Bob Elliott face to face for the first time, even though we have communicated since I decided that I was going to get a Deserter. This is a picture from when I brought it ho...

Mine is really a long story, but I will shorten it. I was a kid in the 60's living in Virginia Beach. My parents, aunt and uncle, and some friend of theirs took four wheel drives to a section of beach in Virgina Beach called Sandbridge. We drove many miles south on the beach to the Outer Banks (wher...

most of these key chains use either a hot wheels or JADA toy. I can not imagine what it is like to haul this in a pants pocket. So far I keep my spare key on it, and wouldn't really drive with something this heavy dangling from the keys. If I did I would build a platform for the little buggy to sit...

I have one with a racing Manxter

I was going to ask this same question. I have no size restrictions, as I have not bought a cooler yet, but plan to. A cooler would have to look good on a buggy. Ideal is just up in the air stream above the back of the body, but I want something that looks better than that. This would be for casual o...

Just FYI, I do the calendar for the Deserter Owner's Group. We are a much smaller group, and I have FAR fewer pictures to chose from than Brian does when I out together the DOG calendar. Just FYI the Deserter was probably the most popular buggy on the East coast with about 1400 buggies made. But I a...

August is almost over and I would really like to hear about the pictures. All of the pictures deserve at least some comment on this month...

Time for some updates on the June Calendar pictures. I recognize some of them, but not all. It does look like they are all OBX pictures.

It is time for the April 2017 Credits post. There are 6 buggies in April and I only know anything about one of them. I also know something about the Monster Truck in the background. It is sort of a local celebrity and was a past sponsor of MOTB events.

Happy Birthday Bruce. You have given a great many people joy with this simple little cars. We all thank you for that. I was late to the game enjoying these buggies but that doesn't mean I still appreciate what you gave us all.

I tend to like old magazines that have things in them that I am interested in. I have managed to find a few early magazines with dune buggy articles from the 60's and 70's. I like to read and collect them. I ended up with two copies of the 1967 February edition of Popular Science that had a great pi...

I live near the Outer Banks and went to Gloucester, MA to pick up my buggy when I bought it. We took the Expedition towing a tow dolly, so we pretty much made the same trip in reverse. We didn't have an EZ pass, so the prices were higher. I don't remember the total, but it was even worse than your t...
