Thats what Ineed on the farm when the Nissans and Tata s cant take the pressure . A long wheel base Buggy Bakkie rules. Problem with those damn cabs are you can not get into the car in a decent manner (seats are to far to the front to use all the door opening space )

Hey all

Interesting wheels on the buggy. I don't think I have ever seen sprint starts in anything but chrome before!

Nice idea!!
I don't know it all, just enough to be dangerous!

I think Smith wheels used to sell an aftermarket Rosstyle look rim that was powdercoated white. Prowhites if I remember correctly. I think they only came in 14". I think that's whats on the buggy.
