It is funny you know, I was sitting in my shed the other day looking at the Mega Manx working out what the next step would be and I thought " Man I am going to have to cut some corners to make sure this baby is ready in time " This idea did not sit real well with me as I have been building it for 3 years. After a few more moment of contemplation I decided a reserve plane was needed. So I found me a back up buggy 😀
She is a 66 based Meyers Manx with IRS / King pin Disc brakes, 2" lift kit, mag wheels and a few other bits. She needs more power though so I reckon it will be moving a lot faster before Fraser. That is of course if the Mega Manx don't come togeather in time.

After some serious arm twisting I went to Straddie with Dazza. Why wasn't I at the Stockton run ? Well I am soft 🙂
I had 600km on my new engine and I wasn't about to drive 950 km to stocko then the nationals - then home again until I have had it on a Dyno to see how the top end is for fuel mixture. I will put it on when I hit 1500 km then after that I have no more excusses not to come out and play.
The suspension worked fine, much better after I tightened up the shockies 🙁

Now I have my ricefactor pod filters I am more than happy to come out and play. I m off to Tonga for 2/1/2 months but hope to have a stocko run towards the end of the year. Dates to be published after the AGM on 31st May 03.

As for real dunes.... I grew up not far from Stocko, ( North Arm Cove area ) and spent many many weekends surfing and destroying buggies and 4wd's on there. It is a hoot and I hope to be back there again soon.

I am counting on all you NSW guys in your street buggies to be there and show is toads how to play on the dunes though as it has been quite a while since I got of our great sunny beaches and played on your wet , misserable and windy dunes. I will be packing my rooof for that trip :P
