Hi all,

The shoot was done along the 40 Mile Beach and Rainbow Beach on Sunday.

The feature of the programme is about the differences between the Myers Manx of the 60's and the Sharpbuilt GS Limo, 4 seater buggies of the 2000's.

The cars from right to left are

Myers Manx - Dark Blue - Andrew & Ilene

GS Limo - Purple - Kevin & Baraba

GS Limo - Blue Metal Flake - Mike Sharp

GS Limo - Tangareen - Robert & family

GS Limo - Red - myself Brian

Hope you enjoy the attached photo's and for you Queenslanders who might watch the programme.
