Well what can i say , i'vve done some crazy stuff over the years in this car or that and driven my buggies a lot further than most , but come the 5th Oct myself , Eileen , Paul ( Manxiberty ), his wife Kate fly out of Australia to meet with Buggy Brad in San Deigo and a few days after that drive across America in dune buggies with the grandfarther of Dune Buggies , Bruce Meyers .
THE CARS
Me being me , i have purchased another Tow'd in California which Brad kindly picked up for me and yes that is fully legal to drive in Amarica as it sits
Needs a few small items repairing but with 10,000klm in front of us in 13 days it needs to be right
Paul and Kate will also be in a Tow'd although their one is actually a Tow'dster as it has a full set of guards and deck lid etc , which belongs to Brad and has just been finished .
THE TRIP
This trip is being orginised by the American Manx Club and is aptley called the "Sea to Sea Safari" http://seatoseasafari.com/and as mentioned in the intro is a drive from California to North Carolina over a 8 day period with Bruce and Winnie Meyers and know doubt many other buggy heads from around the states and world to an event called Manx on the Banx.
The kickout buggy that Bruce and Winnie have recently finished is then to be auctioned off at the event as part of the celebrations .
OUR BIT
Along the way from the point of leaving Australia together the 4 of us plus Brad when we get there will be armed with go pro's with the aim of trying to capture plenty of fun times , the car prepping and interviews etc and of coarse the Safari which at the end of we should have enough footage to put together a DVD to show at events like Valla next year
Will keep you all posted as the days tick down
