great times, we used to get the retreaders to scrub all the tread off the case so we could get nice soft round tyres 😂 oh yeah, i also have some shorts like that.
BTW why would you want to wear a skid lid, bloody fairies only wore those, but we did wear gogles to keep the sand out of our eyes (no not the type you wear snorkeling you clown !😁 )

How about telling the scrutineer you don't run front brakes because they effect steering and are therefore dangerous

Not only that, Col.....a helmet could cause over-temperature of the brain, which could seriously effect your ability to drive safely.😂

Some fantastic footage. I certainly hope they keep Stockton Dunes open and don't close them up.

I wonder if any of these buggies till survive today? And if any of them still get used?

Smiley 🙂

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

If they get used it's not at Stocko, unless illegaly, any vehicle on the dunes these days has to be road registered as I understand it. 👎🙁

Classic! I used to won one of those many years ago. Bought it from a guy called Tony King who'd built it for racing.

So much fun! And being able to scream up the bush tracks to get out to the beach before they made a nice neat road.

Would love some of those tyres for the baja. From memory the ones on mine were off a Cessna!

Mmmm, individual steering brakes. Made climbing dunes easy but was hell on the diff.

Thanks for the vid, great memories. 😎
