    I love it! Kurt Russell and company enjoyed a Manx in those Dexter Riley movies too! Now, for HAMBERS who weren't kids ( i.e. myself, born '66); dune bugs heydays were '66-'72, and why? Maybe up to '74, but you didn't read about them or see as many in movies/ tv .....Was it oversaturation or just dirt bikes taking their spot?

    Dune buggies are a blast, one of them should be on everyone's automotive resume.....

  11. I’m not gonna lie there is some sort of dune buggy on a VW pan fairly local and very cheap, it’s tempting

    Glad you had the opportunity to drive a dune buggy. My high school cars were a Karmann Ghia and an ex-racer 60 sunroof bug with a full roll cage I turned into a Baja bug. The Karmann Ghia had a trailer hitch and I towed a motorcycle trailer made from a VW H- beam front end and even flat towed the Baja bug a time or two with it. Madness!

    For another enjoyable dune buggy show watch “The grand tour Namibia adventure”
     
  13. Man, that looks like fun! I just need to stay focused on the junk I already own... :oops:

    1:55 has the (almost) correct response
    "Based on the Novel
    KISS MY FIRM BUT PLIABLE LIPS by
    Dan Greenburg"
    Ryan, I guess your answer to the Kit Car thread is tucked in here somewhere.

    I imagine it's one of the best modes of transport for the Kona locale. Might even be able to u-turn in the highway of trees.
