    Theres a place down the road from where I work (Truganina Rd, Malaga) that makes buggies.


    Id love a s/c v8 in one - seen the vids from the US where they pull wheel stands! Oh... and the Pussycat Dolls film clip!!!

    I was gonna use a 250cc engine but mates got a good turbo v6 and gearbox i can have out of his common whore for $450 which would be nice haha...

    im halfway through my own designs right now but still wouldnt mind looking at other designs

    how safe are these things

    im not certain but daves one looks like it would crumple if it hit anything solid,but i suppose your fairly safe out in the dunes anyways
