great times, we used to get the retreaders to scrub all the tread off the case so we could get nice soft round tyres oh yeah, i also have some shorts like that.
BTW why would you want to wear a skid lid, bloody fairies only wore those, but we did wear gogles to keep the sand out of our eyes (no not the type
you wear snorkeling you clown ! )
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

How about telling the scrutineer you don't run front brakes because they effect steering and are therefore dangerous

Not only that, Col.....a helmet could cause over-temperature of the brain, which could seriously effect your ability to drive safely.

Some fantastic footage. I certainly hope they keep Stockton Dunes open and don't close them up.
I wonder if any of these buggies till survive today? And if any of them still get used?

If they get used it's not at Stocko, unless illegaly, any vehicle on the dunes these days has to be road registered as I understand it.

Classic! I used to won one of those many years ago. Bought it from a guy called Tony King who'd built it for racing.
So much fun! And being able to scream up the bush tracks to get out to the beach before they made a nice neat road.
Would love some of those tyres for the baja. From memory the ones on mine were off a Cessna!
Mmmm, individual steering brakes. Made climbing dunes easy but was hell on the diff.
Thanks for the vid, great memories.
