So, I was doing my usual daily peruse of CL and found an ad for a (not a true Manx) dune buggy project. One of the photos had some interesting background. I've also included the link in case you're looking for a (not a true Manx) dune buggy project.

That's Omaha, Queensland, right?
I've been meaning to share this ad that showed up in my mailbox for some time:
I wonder if your van has Old Man Emu seats and that one.. Recaros!

No way, that's the famous Hawaiian "red dirt", they needed to keep that on the wheels for branding reasons.
