Cool clip! Not much subtlety there - those guys must make Bobby Long a rich man
Would love a buggy like that too!

Sounds good, looks good too....but I don't see these making it up Rubie Hill in one piece

 

[Sam]

Looks like fun - especially as the steering wheel seems to serve absolutely no purpose at all

 

[Chris]

Power is nothing without control. Or grip. Or full lockers. Or any idea on where you're going. Or in one case, which way it was back onto the golf course

I rather suspect that this hill was a LOT steeper than it looked on the video.

Splendid viewing

One presumes they are all fully paid up members of the National Trust too...

 

[Cptsideways]

I WANT one of them!!!

 

[silvercruiser]

yes that hill must be very steep
At about 2mins 25 secs does it look like he blows a cv

id be suprised if any are still working by the end of the day

Right, what do we need . . .

A huge V8
A strong auto box and transfer case
A set of Rockwell 2.5 or 5 ton axles
A set of 44" minimum tyres
Some long travel springs and shocks
A load of tubing and someone to stick it together
Steering

A steep hill

I'll twist Tonys arm for the hill and leave the rest up to you guys
