I helped a girl win a bet because I remembered the theam song to the Banana Spits. They were the big stuffed dogs with the Shriners hats that ran around like they were on speed. I think they had go carts?

I must admit it is a blast to drive.

That's right! Those 6 wheel things...Someday I will own one and possibly the dog suit...Maybe when I get rid of my boat, I have been doing battle with the lower unit of an ancient Mercruiser all day. I am getting close to giving it a Viking funeral.

Anyone remember "Cowboys In Africa"? the Chuck Conners tv show from the 60's. The opening credits were the best part...Manx blasting across the African plain, thru the African brush, down the African gulley...and suddenly in the air. I'm sure that African scenery would look more like California today!

FAO all the Limies on here,,, do any of you guys remember the buggy (on UK TV) back in the early 70s in one episode of Armchair Theatre????. The story went,,,,,,,,, a young guy got a buggy ( GP I guess

) for his birthday,, it was all wrapped up in paper and a big bow,,,,, in one scene the guy was sitting on the roll bar with his feet resting on the windshield frame,, whilst eating an ice cream by the beach,,, it just looked so cool,, and hooked me in at the time,,,, never to escape the fun since :driving:
