Happy 90th Birthday Bruce

Post by manxvair »

Happy 90th Birthday Bruce, as a kid growing up I watched my dad build your buggies, I spent my youth in the deserts, dunes, and on the streets riding in a Tangerine Red Meyers Manx. We all can't thank you enough for all the joy, happiness and friendships your little car has inspired! Thank you to Winnie, the guiding force that keeps those creative thoughts and ideas channeled in the right direction.
Happy Happy 90th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Bruce!

I first met Bruce Meyers at MOTB '12. I had known who Bruce Meyers was for many years prior, but never heard him talk about life, business and buggy's before that date.

I have never worshipped or followed any celebrities except for my parents. I do not worship Bruce, but hold him in high regard. What is so cool about Bruce, if you have never met him or had the chance to talk to him, is his is just another cool guy. No pretense, no over inflated ego, just another craftsman who is creative, dreams of ideas, messy in his shop when he works, lives modestly, talks to anyone, approachable, laughs with involvement and is cool guy yo hang around with.

Life is not always fair, but it is there if you want to live it. One of the things about Bruce that has affected me, is how many times he has been "hit" with life, and got right back up and proceeded to live, with grace. If I can look back and say the same thing when I am a senior, I will have accomplished a great thing in life.

I wish for Bruce many more years, and many more friends!

Happy Birthday Bruce!! Even though that doesn't begin to cover the amount of joy you've brought me!
Wish I could be there but I'm on the other coast working on my build. The thought of you keeps me going! I hope you enjoy your day and I will be seeing you soon!

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.

Happy Birthday Bruce!!!

My hope is to meet you this summer at the Big Bear Bash.

My Wife and I plan on driving our "clone" buggy down to California this July from NW Washington for a distance of 1300 plus miles to meet you in person.
I would consider it an honor if you would sit in my buggy and take it for a little turbo ride to see what you have infected me with even though it is not a real Manx.

Maybe some day I can re-body it with a real Manx...... 8)

Happy Birthday to the man that started all of this buggy madness and brought us all together. May your days be as sweet as your demeanor and as exciting as following you up to Big Bear! Happy Birthday, Bruce and we look forward to seeing you and Winnie at Manx in the Middle!

Happy Birthday Bruce

I'm pleased that your stay at Forest Lawn was a short one. Keep it that way.
