Brad\'s Backyard Buggy Bash and BBQ - 19 Nov 06 - Pics Now Added ...

Brad · 2006-01-15T10:03:00+00:00

Like all great events they all need to start somewhere. Well this year will be the first off for a new annual event which will be Brad's Backyard Buggy Bash and BBQ. The day will begin at Custom Offroad t 9.00 where all those wishing to compete will need to get there vehicle inspected. This inspection is to cover general vehicle safety and make sure no one is driving an absolute craper as there is enough of them in my yard already. It is also a great opportunity for Buggy Owners to get a free safety inspection and some feedback from guys who work on Buggies all week long. Then at High noon we will cruise out to Brad's place where the fun will begin. We have three tracks to play on and some other events such as barrel racing , grass drags, gravity challenge, spud spearing etc . A trophy will be awarded to the person who has the most points after the events. This trophy which has been sponsored by several of the local VW businesses ( TBC at closer to the event ) will be awarded annually to the best buggy / baja handler. After a few hours of fun and enjoyment we will head to the BBQ / Fire place to tell each other how good we all where and enjoy some good quality Manx Club hospitality. Day is open to all people although only Manx Club Members are allowed to drive the tracks. BUT you can join on the day. C'mon you know you all want to hack my grass up and prove you can get up the little ity bity hill ... Buggy On !! EDIT - more details here http://www.manxclub.org/TripReport.asp?EventID=41 EDIT - Date changed due to conflict with GC VW show. Now on the 19th November [ Edited on 13-9-2006 by Buggy Brad ] [ Edited on 19-11-2006 by Buggy Brad ]

everything is free for members.

Non members are allowed to participate (cos they aren't covered by club insurance or something) and are $5 to watch.

Membership is $50.

The quarterly magazine is a bit late at the moment, this is because the magazine has to be filled using articles written by members, and no-one submits articles so they only have themselves to blame. :P

I submitted an article last year and heard nothing about it...don't even know if it was recieved....I have no backup of it as the pc died,but i went away overnight near Charters Towers and got great pictures and some dirty pictures (in the dirt):o and wrote an article as requested..then nothing. My neighbour who came with me was looking forward to seeing it in the mag. Oh well.

That's probably when the editor at the time threw in the towel and quit. Seemed he didn't like the arm chair critics telling him what he should be doing.

Another likely reason is it never made it through the email system. Emails can be like that. If you don't get a reply assume it didn't make it.

The president quit shortly after nominating himself and being elected last year too. We seemed to be plagued by these sorts of probs. We always end up with the same few people trying to hold everything together. So if there are any enthusiast people out there it's up to people like yourselves to make the club bigger and better. :thumb

Every year at the annual meeting people whinge about not enough trips, and no trips for street buggies. We tell them they can have all the street buggy trips they like, just send an email, we will put it on the site and it will be an event. They agree they will do that, and then we never hear from them...

Hey, I didn't kill Kenny...

I was merely commenting on the effect of todays current economic situation with high inflation, and the price of bananas having a large effect on 2nd hand VW parts, as we all know VW owners eat bananas and are generally unemployed hippies, and therefore need to sell off unwanted VW crap in order to afford their precious bananas.

So these days $1000 doesn't buy good second hand parts, it only buys the unwanted crap that is lying around the camp of hippies, from which they use the money to buy bananas....

Yep, not long now. Sunday the 19th for those that have forgotten.

I will be there in my V6 Baja, Brad will be there in his EJ20T Baja. There are quite a few others I know of.

I drove some of the tracks in the 1600cc powered Geko buggy, and it made it through some of them.

You can bring a stock VW, but you won't get very far. There is a large variety of tracks/lines to suit a good range of VW and driver abilities, but I don't think a stock VW would do many at all.
