Spotted these buggies out on a trip on the N2 after I was returning from trip up in The Wilderness this past week.

Nice pictures. Is that a new trend with buggies... looks like a larger version of a "bicycle carrier tray" at the rear? (The type that attached to a bicycle to carry some goods like a school bag).

And who was passing who at the time?

By the way, i also drove back that same route on Wednesday, also by white baywindow.

They were all driving a little slow, so I passed them.

How did you know I was driving my white Baywindow, it could have been the green one?

I thought the green one's spark plug was still blown out?

The Mild Buggers always drive slow...

Still curious about -what looks like a "carrier rack", (on the back of the blue and the yellow buggy)...

Sorted the spark plug out quite some time ago. I was in my white bus though...

No details on the carriers, they looked quite home made to me, that's all I could see.

Those carriers are built and designed by a buggy owner in Ceres.

The carriers are homemade (me and my dad built the one for 2 of the buggies) for the 7 day adventure we went on. Came in quite handy, as I took along some unnecessary SH!T, and didn't want to tow a trailer.
It had more than enough space to hold the tent, 2x chairs, crate with food/braai utensils and odd stuff and coolerbag.
Made so that it can be easily removed when not going on a long trip.

The blue buggy on the last image is mine. I have since installed new tyres as the wide fat ones just didn't do it for me anymore

Pics of new tyres and carrier can be seen from the link below, currently busy stripping the buggy down to repaint and overall cleanup
Wanted to created a thread on here for some information and overall help, will do it later today and add the images.

As for the white buggy above, he drove into the back of another buggy

Thank goodness the other buggy had a read bumber/bars
