Steve,

Thanks a million for dropping in on your way back from Max's - Mary is Fantastic!!

Steve took me out for a blast around our little town and at one point the wind rushing past was maing my eyes water so much I couldnt see a thing!! - What a laugh!! - A truly fantastic machine and a credit to you Steve - well done mate  ;D

Rich

Thanks Rich, the drift round the roundabout in front of the cop shop was a little on the silly side, but what a laugh ;D

Fingers crossed for decent weather for this summer!

Steve ;D

Thanks again steve, It gave me and my brother inspiration for a build thread update ;)
Maybe a roll cage mount next time to do it justice, I'm awful at holding still at your speeds! :p
Max

Cool, I'll have a read! I bet your brother loved his drive in Mary, his ear to ear smile gave it away!!
I'll have to build a camera bracket for behind the screen ;D

Steve.

Steve, i looked at camera systems for a bit as i was going to have one installed in my buggy but decided the easiest way was to just buy a load of cheapo camera's and just cable tie them to the roll cage. All facing a different direction and then just set them to film. Go out for a drive and just let them film. There was some VERY cheap ones that actually where really good quality. Will see if i can find the old link i had.........

Jason :D

Cage mounted cameras just may be the way forward, not passenger mounted ones (I was bloody useless :p ). Really great road though... Anyone interested in a lakes buggy run now? :D That video is still worth watching for the soundtrack, Mary does have a rather lovely voice!

I thought it was the road you took Danny on the way back to your tent, or at least that's what it looked like.

Steve,

Just ogling your pictures & getting inspiration/stealing ideas & noticed you've removed the cat, was it an issue at MOT time?

I think that "Visual" is just at "some" MOT centres.... Talking of which are you now going to do a yearly trip back up in the buggy ???
