The owners' name is Kevin. I visited his shop a while ago.

It's awesome buggies, high standard of workmanship. There is a lot of similarities between hi performance ACVW problems and the kind of failures he experience.

When I visited him, he was busy with 4 buggies for a client in Angola.

The engine: V8, Suzuki Hyabusa based. A company in the UK takes the internals of two Hyabusa engines, cast their own block and crank, and the slap it all together. That produces a 2800cc engine developing 480 bhp.

Scary :bn: !!

Well with all that power and ground clearance, a jump might just clear gravity and put a G Force Buggy into orbit... :shock:
