Deva Dubs & Rods

The sun was out and cracking the flags and out came the buggies!
After a fab cruise down to Shrewsbury I pulled into the showground and was greeted by buggies! woot!

The photos I took are below.. and once again I slacked and only used my phone to take them.. anyways enjoy!

and the winner is....

Mark with his sweet Volksrod, well done mate!

(I think I have worked out Marks secret of keeping his buggy so shiney.. if you look closely at the above photo... he uses his socks to clean it!)

On the subject of Mark, he was trying out his new camera, he sent me a couple of his photos, a craking one of my buggy and an arty one!

Was a great day down at Shrewsbury, roll on the next show!

Stephens Sidewinder

Back in early January Stephen sent me a couple of photos of buggy build, he'd just got the Beetle and separated it from the chassis, well, he has been busy..



Chassis Back from Mark at Flatlands and all assembled, to quote Stephen "it's too good to cover up!" and I agree!




A purple flaked Sidewinder shell from Mel at Manxbuggies.co.uk



A close up of the shell which looks cool in the photo, I imagine it would be amazing to see in the sunlight

Rear rims and rubber delivered, fronts will be on there way soon!

Thanks again for the photos Stephen, hopefully the completed photos will arrive in my email box soon!

Mini Manx Build continues..

Angelo sent me a few pics of His Mini Manx project
The sit on lawn mower has been collected and stripped down to the bare essentials



The shell is seen here sitting on the chassis, now he can get and idea of what he has to cut etc.



The wheels look perfect sizewise I'm sure you'll agree, Angelo informs me the next job is to shorten the chassis a touch and to get the shell sitting a little lower



You can see the customer trying out his new buggy, I think he is happy with the progress so far =)

All-Types Show

A few buggies braved the unpredictable weather and made it into sunny North Wales for this years All-Types Show http://www.alltypes.co.uk/

The weather held with some sunny spells, it was a good well organised show, anyways enough of my babbling, take a look at the pics..

Caught up with a few of the guys at the show, Marks Volksrod gleeming as usual and Shilly had his new Turbo Thomas stainless exhaust fitted

I Also found these two dodgy looking geezers sitting in my buggy! (Shilly and ManxDave)

I had a good time at the show and congratulations to Angelo, he won a top 5 best aircooled at the show with his Fastback

Type 3 man converted?

Recieved an email this morning from Mr. Type 3 himself, Angelo..

Hi Barry,

It's still a buggy though, but gonna mate it with a ride-on tractor and seewhat I get !!
Anyway pics attached, would make my sons day (honest) if you posted them on your blog.

Many thanks,

Angelo :-)
