It took me some time but it looks like I have the green light to join in on the forum fun. My original interest in the forum was to talk with the experts while trying to research some info on the Manx I bought for my wife last Mother's Day. I am unable to attach the pictures of the Manx, I will take some new ones and post later on. I was able to post one of my buggy in case anyone would like to see it, I have enjoyed seeing all the buggy pictures on this forum. Through my forum travels prior to getting the green light to post I was able to contact a fellow Nevada buggy enthusiast. 'Bob The Tow'd Dude' what a great man. I was able to meet Bob last weekend and we spent three hours talking in his driveway about everything. I look forward to making more new friends and plan on attending the next function, where ever that may be. There's no people like buggy people.

Thank You! It came from Newburg, OR. It was a friend of a friends buggy and I bought it for my wife (I allways use that to buy something I want "It's for you honey"). Anyway when it arrived I told my wife that I had better drive it for a while to make sure it was mechanically sound, four years later and i'm still driving it. So I bought her the Manx "It's for you honey". I also bought her a sandrail that she has yet to drive.

Its making me feel very mean indeed, to think that all I got my wife this year was a new Berrian chassis :o

Welcome
