Howdee folks,
This is my first post - I signed up to share this footage we filmed in 1984.
Fooling around in my mates Country Buggy near Kalgoorlie (WA).
Filmed on an old VHS video recorder, the quality is not up to modern standards but it's pretty good for an old tape which sat in the cupboard for 30 years.
Apologies for the clunky edits - it's the best I can do with the equipment I have.
Hope you enjoy - Wes

Hey, that's pretty neat!
The quality is actually decent given the age and equipment that it was likely filmed with.
Those guys probably had fun until their beer ran out.

Regards and welcome,

The original (unedited) video footage runs for about another minute but I was trying to spare everyone the background commentary that went with it 🙂
Sorry, don't have any other pics or info on the vehicle but there were 2 CBs in Kalgoorlie at the time that I knew of - the other was owned by a Policeman.

Great footage and good to get it out there before it gets lost or perishes.
Hope this encourages others to dig deep in the photo box.
It's your avatar that's a bit hard on the senses.🙂
