I hope it wasnt just a case of itchy hands looking for a spanner and an nut to turn when you started the project. But it looks like you progressing well so dont stop...
I like Ron know Bluebird very well.
The DarkSide and Bluebird shared tar and sand roads a few times.. All of which Bluebird LOST!! hehehe

I hope you know it is extreamly BAD LUCK to rename a bug. All kinds of things start going wrong. Back in the day my bug was called Jezzy (shot for Jezebel, yes from the Bible.. ok on hindsight maybe it wasnt the best name for her but she did live up to it rather admirally.) then it was reborn as TheDarkSide and we all know what curse that carried. Just ask HR he is still suffering transfer curse effects 3yrs after its death and that doesnt even touch all the other bugs effected by it. In the end I had to park down the road, away from others cause it was a garentee that if I parked close someone would have car problems...
Just a warning...

Vader ons sal erinstig vir jou moet bid en daai DarkSide na die lig moet bring.

We've actually met one time at Ron & Gill's house in Hermanus, I think it was. It was the year the Beach buggy club was at show there by the school? The motor show or something. We slept over... Anton & Naomi is my uncle & aunt

And yes, I've heard about the curse (s) of changing a buggy's name, but will just have to go with it It was given the name by the PO, it would just now be the same
And no, it's not a case of "itchy hands looking for a spanner and a nut to turn", you'll see

Thanks Ron

Seems that Bluebird did not know what was going on with all those hands helping
Good work there guys

Just a pity we dont have km,s of open beach and dunes to go for a winter tear

Ah the good ol days

Atlantis dunes...

Ek sien julle kruip so op die knieë/hurke om die bakwerk, pleks jul plaas hom eers terug op die onderstel en kry daar al die voorbereiding klaar.

Sorry maar dié oubene wil nie meer soos jul joung manne sin buig nie

It was Derek, the PPPO that named it Bluebird... First thing he did when we got Bluebird and Rumours together was drive up Rumours' ar$e, in his drive way. That was the last time Bluebird ever got even close to Rumours' a$re, even on the N1...

Good luck with the rebuild.

Shall we organise a day in Atlantis dunes?
How many beach buggy owners would be interested in a outing like that?

Sorry for the hi jack

Speak to Anton Klein... see if you can make it an off road outing. Beach Buggy Club SA aka The Wildbuggers still do an annual Off Road Run, I think. Another fun one is the off road track on the West Coast road opposite Duynefontein. It's a lekker little track that with braai facilities etc.

Annocil, I will see Anton and Hennels tomorrow and mention it.

Dude I can hardly remember my own name never mind who I've met in the gasmix state I live in.. But I think I remember you...

Some requirements for renaming a car.

1) For every cc engine size you need tripple the volume Jack or Olmeca Black.
2) 3 Chickens for sacrifice on the braai..
3) Ducktape.
4) 30m rope.
5) Assortment of whips, paddles, oil and toys..
6) 4 Loose Seatcovers not scared of bondage, 1 of which must be a virgin...

Use 1&2 together till nicely toasted.
3-6 must be used together in any & many different combinations to satisfaction. 1 can be used on 6 for plyability..

If you require further instruction let me know and Ill do it for you...
Messy business renaming a car properlly but someone has to do it...

Jeez Dude, you been smoking your socks again?

Great tips Mr Vader, I'll keep that in mind... Can we use 1 & 2 separately as well?

5: Oil & Toys I have... Whips & paddles... nope, nopenopenope
6: We can certainly make a plan. Always up some some bonda.... what am I saying..........
