The Manx Club Aust Inc will be providing support to the Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Sport and Recreation Association of Queensland Inc in the form of a Beach run and day out in the greatest vehicles on earth - Dune Buggies.
In order to make this happen I need as many VOLUNTEERS as possible. I have committed to 20 seats through club members but would love to take more if possible. The day will occur on Sunday 18 Apr 2004 and will consist of a Cruise from Brisbane to Noosa Heads - Onto the Beach and up too Rainbow. Lunch at Rainbow provided by the Assoc and then back through the Inland onto the beach and back to Brisbane. It should be a great day and well worth the effort.
The day will be fully supervised by the Assoc and both the Manx Club and the Assoc have insurance to cover any concerns people have.
For more detail or to volunteer the services of you and your Buggy / Baja please contact me.
Cheers,
[Edited on 19-4-2004 by Buggy Brad]

Brad ·
Should be a great day. We have been looking for a charity to support which wanted something other than $$$$. These guys are not only a great assoc they are very excited about going "Dune Bugging " as they call it. 😀
MickH ·
Extremely worth while cause:bounce Thought you would have had heaps of replys by now.....c'mon people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎😎

Wrong side of Oz again for me Brad. 🙁
I would be in it like a flash otherwise.
Good to see the club helping out though.

Andy42 ·

Baja Wes ·

daz67 ·
I WILL BE AWAY SUPPORTING ANOTHER WORTHWHILE CHARITY "THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION".
But I will donate my Buggy for the Day...
Might have to interview for a driver though!
Don't want any crazy people driving it!!!!

Towards the end of Feburary I will be talking to all those I can think of and asking for 100% confirmation.
Once I am sure I will have the numbers I will line up the publicity with a few TV shows and Newspapers I have spoken to who are keen on the Human interest story about clubs giving stuff back to the community.
C'mon people I knwo there is more out there who want to come out , play and have a great day by giving a special day to wheelie assoc members :thumb:thumb

After seeing you snatch Brad out on fraser, I don't think you should let yourself drive it 😀
Wes,
I have taken your advice, Ashley will drive the Manx for this trip.
Andy42 ·
So come on people has every one confirmed they will be there. I know i will not have my buggy there as i sold it but i will be taking my van which is sort of cool and well at least it will be used as a suport vehical. I think all the members should try to make this a great day. :beer :beer

Brad ·
mmm not looking to good numbers wise... C'mon people anyone else going to support this worth while venture ?
Baja Wes ·
I've only got one seat unless you want the back seat passengers to be cooked. The radiator makes it a little warm in the back seat when cruising on the highway.
Andy42 ·
So I know me van is not a baja or buggy but do i get to try and scare the bejesus out of anyone or am I the baja/buggy recovery vehical.
So come on who is coming for sure😎

:bounce common peeps, we can all buzz around at drop of hat, donate just one day to those who can't take off when the offroadie feeling arises...... hmmmmmmmmm beeeeeaaaacccchhhhhhh.........sun, sand, surf, hooning past the $60 grand 4wds bogged.......U know ya wanna..... its funnnnnnn.................I have my fishoil ready!!!!! 😀
OZ Towdster ·
C'mon you bloody slackers come out and donate some time for a good cause and plus it will be a heap of fun.
MickH ·
BUMP......:cussing
Jamox ·
Man I'd love to. You East coasters have all the fun. I would be there with 3 seats for sure if I was on your side. Ok, it might be a bit snug in the bug. But it would be good. I am quite proud of the club for doing this. I am surprised you can't get more seats though with what... 75 or so members??? If a third of them took people you should have at least 20 seats. ??? I wish I could be in it. Hope it all goes well. Getting close to the day now too huh?
Best of luck with it although I am sure you won't need it. I am just a bit sad thinking of the people who will miss out if there aren't enough seats.
RIghtio then, seeyabye
Jamie
MickH ·
C'mon you "southeners".If I didn't live so far away I'd be doing it in a flash. Get out and support a worthy cause. It will give yourself and others a great deal of satisfaction. Don't be slackarses.:cry
Andy42 ·
Of course all those who do not attend will be require to produce a signed note from their parent or gaurdian at the next event. :vader

tickets are 35cents for three..
seeing as you are so far away and therefore have legit excuse,, heres a sneak peek......
$2.63 homebrand baja ·
after some discussion with lil sis, I thought we should up the price to 36cents, as I didn't want her to appear too cheap... but she said "for less than a price of a phone call, they can have me..."
😀 :P
MickH ·
Hmmm 36 cents rounded down is still a bit cheap!!!(35 cents) How come you are $2.63??? Have not seen you either so I must be missing out on alot(HaHa....ALOT) or heaps for the spelling impaired.Will see you all(not in the flesh??) at the end of the year when I go travelling......but in the meantime more slacko's required for this run...

My passengers quote was "I love the horsepower", which was odd coming from a modest looking mid-30's (?) female librarian. 😀
