hey guys ive been looking at these pics of the sandshark and it its makes me wonder why my buggy doesnt have the buldge and three lines on the bonnet,just like the "kestral" you build in bloem,pine?but that one doesnt look like a kestral because its got narrow sides and the moulded buckets in the back and no buldge on the bonnet?i spoke to the origional owner of the buggy just quickly...and asked him what buggy this is and he said that it was...something kraft... i cant remember the whole name like i said we just spoke quickly...and that the were situated in p.e cause thats were he bought the buggy...anyone know of this place?

The Crestrider company, more known for canopies, also built buggies in the 80's. I recall names like GlassCraft or FibreCraft as well?

There used to be a company called Kent Craft in PE that built Buggies.But since the law came in that cars weren't allowed on the beaches,the stopped manufacturing.

Dubster,

What other people think is honestly irrelevant.
How you feel about it, is far more important.

Keep in mind: "Those who mind, aren't important. Those who are important, don't mind."
