Last week I made this video clip which I want to share with you.
I used GoPro Hero3 camera's and it's shot at the location were I live.
Thanks for watching.
Kind regards,

I like everything about your buggy, except the front bumper. Manx bumpers aren't pointed. |

Mine has the exact same bumper. The rear one has a slight point as well. _________________ (o\_i_/o) what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

I like the Michigan Sport Buggy Association patch on your jacket. The buggy and your buggy driving jacket...very cool. _________________ Jerry...

You have some great shots with that camera. Fun to watch, esp. the rear engine axle shot... Only thing missing was a beautiful lady in the passenger seat, just saying  _________________ PLM..... |

Thanks for your kind words guys.
I did several spins, using two camera's at the same time. Here are some examples showing were I put the camera...

I know, this is just a (standard) buggy bumper; not Bruce's original design. BTW: here in Holland no one will notice...
It's very costly to get the original stuff from the States; for example the Meyers Manx Original Sidewinder Exhaust. That thing cost me a small fortune! Besides the 300 USD purchase, shipping and (import) taxes alone were more then 200 USD...  _________________ A buggy produces more smiles per mile than any other car - Bruce Meyers |

Yes, thank you.
Back in 1988 I spend 5 weeks with people at the MSBA; I was a guest of John and Barbara Eliot, back then he was the president of the MSBA. For me, it was an experience of a lifetime which I'll never forget!
This year I'll visit Michigan again! I'll arrive @ Chicago, will spent a few days there and drive over to Grand Haven to visit some friends of my wife.
I'm familiar with the Sleeping Bear dunes and the buggy trial up North, but do you know if there will be any organized buggy activity somewhere in Michigan state area, mid/late September? _________________ A buggy produces more smiles per mile than any other car - Bruce Meyers |

Thanks Mike, share it as much as you can or like, because we drive buggies for the fun of it. As you can see in my clip around 4:25...  _________________ A buggy produces more smiles per mile than any other car - Bruce Meyers |
