Hi I was reading through some old posts and got the impression that there might be a photo gallery. If there is..............where do I find it?

Hi, I'm looking for help with wheel fitments. I need 14" wheels for the Freestyle. Can anyone suggest what other vehicles used a 4" pcd? Also any other clever ways of fitting other pcd wheels?

Here Goes: Bought the buggy off Asbo in December. Gonna keep the name and paint job for the time being as I love it. Asbo delivered it from Glasgow in all that bad snowey weather that we had. He stopped for an hour or so, cup of tea and he was gone back up north! I knew that there was a...

Hi, looking to buy preferably a freestyle but Blitz considered. Any condition, non runner, in bits ect. Must be road registered.

Hi, I'm still researching buggys to suit my needs. I want a roadlegal buggy that will be used on the unclassified, unmetaled roads and byways around Devon. From what I can see the only ones tough enough will be Mini based. What do you guys feel the pros and cons are between these two? I think...

Another Question........Anyone like to guess at how many road legal Freestyle or Blitz buggys are in this country?

I'm seeing alot of these for sale......very expensive. Anyone got any opinions? How tough are they? Price and availability of parts etc? What country are they made?
