Freestyle Road Legal Buggy Trip To Wales 2010
The Wales trip is now becoming a bit of a MuddyBuggies tradition, before this trip in 2010, Steve Alan and Simon did a tour of Wales. I was not able to make this trip as I was actually travelling around Australia at the time. However, the Wales trip in 2010 myself and my girlfriend Jane made it. We met at the garden centre in Lichfield and we had tea and coffee while we came acquainted with the others. I made a comment about Simon's brakes, as previously I rammed him on the way to another show, the comment went along the lines of “I've not … [Read More...]

Danny’s Re-Build Diary Page 5
19th February 2008 For the last few days I have been painting and prepping bits for the rear suspension set up. I also fitted the engine to the subframe with the help of my little sis. The bell housing end of the engine was a simple procedure getting the mount in but the timing chain end was a real pig and took over an hour of swear and throwing things but its in. As you will notice from the pictures below I have actually fitted the engine to the subframe and the subframe to the chassis with the chassis still sat on the garage floor I have … [Read More...]

The Freestyle kit car is by far my favourite road buggy, ok so I may be a little biassed but you have to admit that these little buggies look awesome, they handle like a go kart and because of their simplicity its easy to say that they can be built by almost anybody.

Crashed Road Buggies
Crashing a road buggy is a pretty serious incident most of the time the occupants are very lucky to be alive as this is the case with any vehicle open to the elements.

So this has always made us the owners think about driving like a fool. … [Read More...]
A Newspaper Clipping
Below is a clipping taken from a news paper, I am not sure of its origin but thanks to whoever wrote it. Coming back down to earth with a bang, the humble Mini is, itself, already something of a cult car. But what do you do when the pint-pot classic has come to the end of its life and you don't want to let it rust in peace? Well, fear not as the heart and spirit of your perished Mini could live pn in an A.B.S. Freestyle. Looking like a cross between a 1960s beach buggy and a no frills trials car, the freesyle is not only cheap to buy but … [Read More...]

10th March 2008 So I ordered my tyres from MiniSport at a cost of £192 delivered I went for the Yoko 175/50/R13 I went off to see my unle at MK MOT to fit the tyres to the rims, I decided that I was not going to fit these myself as I did not want to scratch the rims too much so my uncle had the pleasure of that job. I had the pleasure of balencing them which turned out ok and found it to be quite an easy job. With my tyres fitted I was then on a mission to get the chassis rolling, I had one small problem at this moment in time and … [Read More...]

The Onyx Tomcat
You could be forgiven for thinking the Tomcat is an unashamed copy of the Blitz but its not. Onyx's David Golightly originally built a similar Mini based special as an autotest car which he used to great effect. he drove it in the runner up spot in 1989 National Auto Test Championship. Having impressed himself with his car designing ability, it was this success that ultimately led to the birth of the first Onyx model in the form of the Fiat Panda based firefly now manufactured by Formby Kit Cars. That said, the Tomcat is a joint effort between … [Read More...]
