yes, this is subjective and yes, opinions are like arseholes - but, what is your favourite looking style and why. mine is some freakoid 1970 ripoff of what would have been an astrum. thus i dont mind astrums (tank stays in front, same WB as manx's, one of best approach angles about, no headlights on stalks to be attaked by the forest at speed, side pods for storage and deflecting the sand sprayed up off front tyres, ect. but, i really like the look of the bounty hunters. for an old body style they look pretty modern and good front approach angle. they prob dont have enough guard space for articulation?? iguana is nice and modern but..... whats your thoughts???

G'day Andrew. I agree that the Tow'd is an amazing machine off road, with go anywhere ability.

I think that part of Bruce's reason for not liking Tow'ds is that he had that serious accident in one in the Baja 1000. He broke both legs and it was the final straw that finished of the B F Meyers company. He lost his business and his marriage to Shirley. He went to Mexico for a few years and took a long time to get over it all. He's OK now.

One of my mates at the school where I work has tracked down a Tow'd. He will get it soon. I want one.

A Manx is a much better looking buggy than a Tow'd in my opinion.

as a package, a manx might be better looking but the towd was the next evolution of the buggy "way back when"

why cut and join a pan when you really only need the beam front end and the backend joined by tubework and a bit of bodywork to keep the pedals dry.... this is the towd. - i look at it as a 4 wheel dirtbike or the first quadbike... haha?!?!
