ok the white buggy is nearly finished and is the only currently rego'd buggy it is just a little hard to start at the moment warm and cold the blue buggy has just ran out of rego needs a rear wheel seal and the generator light is constantly on the grey buggy is my favroite and as far as i know was built at custom off road for custom off road but was bought b4 it was finished by a bloke starting up a buggy hire bussiness ive just rewired it had the starter and alternator rebuilt and fitted the new exhaust it needs a carby fuel pump the handbrake cables repalced( their new but their standard length)a rear brake line lenghtened its broke and the master cyl fitted the windscreen fitted rear cage and a few other niggly bits i have completly stripped the yellow buggy and the body is now at the panel beaters getting renewed im in the middle of swapping everything from this buggy to the strengthend chassis that also came with the buggies and will eventually fit the renewed body it has 4w slotted rotors an 091 hooked up to a mitsubishi v6 twin turbo but i doubt ill use this in the manx cos it weighs a tonne i can just see myself landing and rolling to a slow stop.. looking back and seeing the motor and box still cartwheeling through the bush :P sorry bout the sad pics but i havent taken any of the yellow buggy myself yet

I've heard people say things happen in threes, but I think you've taken it a little too literally.

BTW, nice cars.
