Last week I made Arrow 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,

Henny Jore (The Netherlands)

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.

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

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 Wink

I know, this is just a (standard) buggy bumper; not Bruce's original design. BTW: here in Holland no one will notice... Wink

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... Rolling Eyes

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?

Henny.. Probably my favorite Buggy video. Well done.

...the only thing I was waiting for was the disks to begin to glow red? You must have cut that in the edit, eh?

Hey 911 ..if you're looking for a good cam at a great price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190847240676?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It comes bundled with a lot of mounts, waterproof housing, etc.. The Chinese are a little slow to show up for the game; the GoPro guy is already a billionaire.

There's a guy in the UK who reviews all these sorts of cams.

That first shot should be called a LoPro camera Smile

I shared your video on cnybuggy.org

Nice!

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... Wink
