Had the El Tejon Manx in a car show , I just took of the dry rotted snow tires it had in the front , and the farm implement tires in the back , and swapped them for some Mickey Thompson Mini Mag's in the front and some Baja ATZ's in the back .
I will be bringing this buggy to Manx on the Banks

The tires look good. Glad the black and yellow plates are still on there. I definitely prefer that signature to the Bud Man sticker.

I don't know if you're familiar with the Tejon Ranch that your buggy is named for but its an old Spanish land grant and cavalry post and now one of the largest wild and undeveloped areas in California in private hands. Hopefully it will stay that way. Its a good name for a buggy. (Its also pronounced te-hone)

That buggy is looking great, and the period style tires are fantastic.

It was great to meet you and see the Elton John Manx at MOTB! We can't wait to head up to Manx at the Falls in June!
