buggy adventures is down too ,,,have tried heaps

More then likely the sites creator has pulled the plug.
Try http://www.sandscene.com.au.
This is where most of the regular posters have gone to.
Much more relaxed and more veriety, Ie: 4WD, Quad bikes, Sand cars, Buggies etc. Very cool site.

I hope the plug hasn't been pulled but thats the way the go sometimes. I have no clue what the story is with BA.

Sure there is sand scene and it's set up really well. Thanks to Moose for setting it up.

Don't forget there is a capable offroad section in here too if your only into VW and have no time for the other.

He did say he was doing an upgrade to phpBB3
