Where Are They At???

I recently loaned a bunch of my buggy related VHS tapes & DVDs to a local fellow, to help inspire him to rebuild/restore his original Meyers Manx & to start using it more. When he brought back the tapes/DVDs, he asked me where the 100+ buggys that show up at Big Bear each year, go play the r...

Don't know anything about the EMPI raised balljoint spindles, but I know a number of guys running the 3" raised spindles from http://www.blindchickenracing.com that have never experienced any installation or use problems. They have the speedo cable hole too. Just bolt them in & go! Probably...

I've never had any trouble on this site. Posting &/or posting photos is actually quite easy here, I don't understand why people have a problem with it. There are a few things here that can be a bit annoying, but pretty much all sites have something like that about them. Folks always say change i...

I tried it your way Tom... we'll see. Since you cannot have more than one member per IP address, my wife won't be allowed to have her own membership since we only have one computer (i.e.- IP address). We have AOL & they give us 7 screen names! Not only does my wife use this computer, our niece L...

I have the same sign-in problem! Since I'm already a YUKU member on several boards, it says my email is already in use! I only have 1 email! I've tried several times, always same response! Any ideas???

We only have lap belts in Xena, though I plan to upgrade them to a 3 point system in the near future! Some buggy drivers don't wear seatbelts, Ken Trongo didn't! He told me, that after seeing some of the buggy wrecks he'd seen, he'd prefer taking his chances by not wearing one.

2011 Mojave Adventure March 11-13

It's never too early to start thinking about the 9th Annual 2011 Mojave Adventure, held March 11-13 next year! Nothing is written in stone yet, but next year we may be staying in a different spot & exploring some totally new areas, though they are still in the Mojave Desert, hence the name chang...

I think that in our buggy Xena, 300-400 miles would be doable, maybe even more. Her 1965 Ford Mustang bucket seats are very comfortable & since I only run 10 psi in the rear tires & 8-10 in the front tires, she has a real nice smooth ride! We've driven her 300 miles with 1 stop for gas &...
