Please please please accept my appologies - I was not trying to insinuate that any site was publishing unethical lists.... I might be old, but I know that I saw it and made sure my Manx was on it, I have had it for quite a while, it might have been before the club went with the new website software ...

One of those is me (McIntosh, FL) (Serial # below) There are others????..... that is great news, perhaps I need to purchase a copy of the registry. How do I get one, with the new club makeup, etc.... If Winnie still has copies, can I get from her? I know that I saw it on the web because I double che...

Manx Registry

I know that I have seen the "holy book" somewhere on the web. Was it here or at the Texas club site? I saw a buggy the other day, looked in the usual spot and there was a Manx tag. Last time I looked, there were not any registered in the Gainesville Florida area. Either the owner does not ...

No - it is not mine - - - it is yellermanx's self build. at last count, he had three manx bodies. He is quite the inventive sort and has a knack for building stuff at home. Ask him about his front bumper - - you will get a smile out of it. If you cant reach him here, you can get him at another site ...

I think that it is time to laugh a little - sometimes it will be at ourselves, sometimes at the expense of others... YOU DECIDE!!! All I want is a warm bed, a kind word and unlimited power. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys. ...

Great article!!!, fantastic car. #033 could not have been what it is without the use of your magic wand.

Sounds like a deliberate and well planned transition. As a former NCCC (National Council of Corvette Clubs) Governor, I know the time and effort that must be put into a club to make it have it's own identity. In that search, we struggled with SCCA rules and classes, but opted for our own. I trust th...

glad you ask - from start to finish - the body was blue when Bruce made it, but someone along the way painted it several colors and ran into something with the left hand front. They tried to fix it, but really botched the job. I had a boat place sandblast it then fiberglass all the holes and fix the...

Old new member updates on Manx Body

Some of the new guys might not know me, and some of the "old" guys might not remember me (that is the second thing to go). After too many years, I have gotten the Manx body painted - thought that I would share it. This flame job is invisible when viewed straight on, but in the sun, the pha...

I just got my body into the registry and ordered a fresh set of emblems. Winnie told me that the ones she is selling out of have slight flaws on the bottom of the Myers Manx name. When mine arrived, it had swirl marks that will be easily covered with the paint techique outlined above - that is a Gre...
