hahahahhaha!!! Acpaterson, you must feel when you boost and drop the clucth and start pooling wheelies. that was insane!!! one afternoon after fixing boost clamps, we took it out for a test run, and so we find a guy with mazda 6 that's want play with us in Old Paarl road. We pull it so hard that i waved to the guy in the air while passing him, that was so Vrek funny, at the next robort i ask him if he want to go again, no words from him. hahahahhahaha. :mrgreen:

I went for a spin in that buggy once.
It was pretty quick.
Something was missing at that time, either seat belts or a roll cage, but I really didnt feel safe. Maybe it was the open air around me instead of a roof...
Nice buggy though

Ek is nie seker wie die vorige eienaar was nie. Just before my neighbor "George ' bought it, it was on CA number plates and seen it standing at KSD. My neighbor bought it with Charged WP plates. Had all the safety stuff it needs, But it had gas on it with the turbo ""we never tested the gas out because we were to shit scared that we will kill our self with that". We took that out.
