Stu, Bruce once said it was because of a Manx cat, but I'm not sure about the whole story. Bob

If I remember correctly, it was about a manx cat. Since there is no tail, you can see all of the business in the rear end and the buggy reminded Bruce of that cat.. Kris(wife)

When you think about it the Meyers Manx is probably the only car in history that is accurately described by its name. Like the Manx cat the Meyers Manx is short, chubby, jacked up in the rear end, cute and it has no tail. Regardles of which other car you think about, it's name doesn't describe it. A Cobra isn't serpentine, a Mustang isn't horsey, a Jaguar isn't feline, etc., etc..

Not really, Savannah (the cat) came into the family a little bit ahead of the buggy. I thought it would be cool to get a pict of her on the buggy. She didn't think so. I had to snap the picture pretty fast. Bud
