Re: Introducing to the discussion area

The link is enough evidence to me. I would also expect better grammar from a professional essay writer.

Re: A question and a little help?

Not a Manx. Looks like a Boonie Buggy to me.

Boonie Buggy made by Fibe-Ron Manufacturing. Designed for either a regular shortened pan or Corvair use.

Re: It's not you it's me

Just to clarify, I don't tow mine anywhere either. I don't have the money or free time to drive or tow it 1700 miles. I would tow it if I was going 1700 miles so I would have the security of an enclosed trailer to store it in. I'm more worried about theft than I am my buggies reliability. There is a...

Re: It's not you it's me

Some of us live no where near a coastline or even near many other buggy people. We are very great-full that the on-line presence exists. Without it we would likely feel quite alone. If I had the expendable time off to be able to attend an event in the US, I'd probably be dismissed by you because I'd...

Re: Lookit this!

One thing I noticed is there seems to be several types of boots... Some are sorta pyramid shaped, and some (mine) are not. Mine are the same diameter from one end to the other....The tapered ones would seem to be a better choice.... I noticed that you have a swing axle and the picture of the smalle...

Re: My new Manx

If your rear view mirror is glued to the windshield, you can carefully remove and reverse the glass too. It should slide out the bottom after you remove the bottom of the aluminium frame.

Re: A Buggy Sighting: One of my Kindle Space Operas...

Is the sixth book in the series as good as the first, or is it a series that went too long?

Re: Looking to buy our first Buggy (Real Manx)

Not all pre-tags have the 2x4's.
The glassed tubes on the side and metal dash frame should tell the story.

Re: Custom Licence Plate Holder
