tobys mate - May 23rd, 2006 at 07:47 PM

Hey all interestingly enough i have found that alot of buggy owners and baja owners are based in QLD i was wondering if there was any in NSW or if there is any clubs down here in sydney?


clarkey - May 24th, 2006 at 08:55 PM

Hey,don't know of any really active clubs but I know four other Sydney blokes who get into it, a trip every few months. Check out Buggy Adventures web. You are right all the action seems to be in QLD. cheers clarkey.

Ok, I'm just near blacktown, so we're not far from eachother.

How offroad do you mean by offroad? Stockton, big 4wd tracks or just mucking around on dirt roads?

I work at Blacktown ( BBM Offroad Motorsport) and am building my buggy at Epping- still in the earlyish stages. Estimate I'll have it on the road in about 2 months.
J and S body ( for the moment)
Warm 1500 (also temporary)
Plenty o' bling...
Plenty of places to go- Kurnell, Stockton, Appin, Menai, Wattagens, Bargo, Lithgow, limeburners, asstd fire trails and so on....but dont kid yourself about following the big boys off road in the harder areas ( anything rated 'b minus' or higher.)
When my the cutting/weldings done we'll screw this together downstairs in the showroom...should look pretty good as a semi static display- something different.


tobys mate - June 24th, 2006 at 04:59 PM

dam thats cool i didnt know there was so many places to take your vehicle offroad i hope to have my buggy of somesort together and registered by this summer cause im so hangin to cruise in it. i wont say finish it by summer cause its a project and are they ever finished :) anyways we should get all the buggy/ baja boys a girls in sydney together and go buggying some time its gunna be sick

If you have your buggy going by November there is the annual state of origin dune challenge at Stockton 18-20 November which brings people as far away as Queensland and Forster to the event. There are also several Sydney regulars who also attend. If not there is always another gathering easter long weekend. See the klubvw offroad callender for detals.. http://www.klubvwoffroad.org/
