Post by Klaus »

Man oh man - for some reason there seems to be a splurge of buggy activity on the south coast. What a feast ! :hangloose:

Only got a few pics as left my phone at the house most of the time (damn work)

A Dealer down there had no less than four in stock !

I want one !

Behind the Sasol Garage and the Bottle store. Same as this dealership (no BP garage)

I think a Lolette is between 70 and 90. thats the closest you will get to a Manx without breaking the bank...
From fastest to slowest:

Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

I know those buggy prices seem crazy. But in 1988 I paid R6000 for a brand new Front wheel drive Ford Escort. Two years later I paid R6000 for my new buggy.
Why do we celebrate the guy that invented the wheel??
Surely we must celebrate the guy tat invented the other three
