I'll be 41 in three weeks time, so I guess that makes me an old fart in many peoples' eyes.

Welcome Shrek, Don't feel to bad about your buggies guts not being aircooled. We can stand together and beat off any bad comments about our rides. Cheers, Hitler.

No, I am not the T34 owner his name is Ron and he is also in the Wildbuggers. By the way Hitler is also one of us and so is Rat bug. We have about 25 Buggys in the club. All in all there are 46 Wildbugger family's. Do you remember Tom & Yoshiko that drove a buggy through Europe & Africa, well they are back to fetch the bugg and are braaing at my house tonight.

Vader at least you made it to CT, in 1989 I got as far as Bloem and the bug said no further, after tranny trouble, took me most part of a whole day to limp back to JHB, got towed for the last 200km's by a truck full of peaches, at least I got my RDA of vit. C.
