ducky - July 2nd, 2004 at 07:38 PM

Well I wasnt selling it but a guy from tassie wanted to buy it, I have another project in mind buggy of course but was thinking more for next year the offer just bought the project closer, so close in fact that I wont have a dub for valla. Call me Ducky Dubless


robnjo - July 2nd, 2004 at 07:41 PM

bummer dude.....buy a banger off eBay for Valla:cool:


ducky - July 2nd, 2004 at 07:42 PM

nah wanna save the cash for the next mean machine that lives in my imagination:blah


Bami - July 2nd, 2004 at 08:23 PM

I suppose if the guy from tassie has his heart set on it, and you were already starting to think of getting a new project then it is meant to be.

Don't worry, I will be dubless for Valla aswell.

So what do you have your eye on for the next project or is it a secret?

Bami - July 2nd, 2004 at 08:31 PM

sounds fun ducky - bit of bush bashing. So have you seen one you like or just got the idea in general?


ducky - July 2nd, 2004 at 08:33 PM

a bit of both. Good friends who will help (a lot ) with build has a very cool one. I am really excited about seeing the wholebuild process from whoa to go and being involved in that.:blah


Anthiron - July 2nd, 2004 at 08:34 PM

im not kidding....a baja has a roof and storage space thats out of the whether.....about the only bonus a buggie would have is the shorter wheel base.....u could build a nice baja with the proceeds from your buggie.......i personally wouldnt sell your buggie though its pretty shmick


ducky - July 2nd, 2004 at 08:37 PM

A Baja can rust. No seriously I am a buggy kinda person if you love your baja power to you brother but me give me a topless day anytime.

Next project will be schmick too


Bami - July 2nd, 2004 at 08:37 PM

It would be great to follow the process from beginning to end ey!

Make sure you post pics when you get the project underway.

Did your friend build the one they have?

Craig why am I dumb?????


Desert Moose - July 3rd, 2004 at 12:46 AM

Ducky, it good to see you have this post going and maybe people would know about the buggy if the old one wasn't deleted (but life go's on). I still think the baja1000 look would be a good one. :blah :blah
