Manx Club

Ok, I have a hotel selected and the price negotiated for an initial block of 15 rooms at $80- for those wishing to stay Thursday, May 8th, that's vey close to the take off point. We'll be starting the run from Ocean Beach Park again (the same starting point as the Sea-to-Sea Safari), and the hotel I...

It's done! I'm really excited about picking it up this weekend. I''ve seen a couple rough videos and the thing scoots with a ton of torque. I watched David run it in fourth gear from 25 MPH to over 80MPH. Didn't even sound like it was lugging. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l115/scottdrolet/Manx%...

Great find Glenn! It's growing on me too.

Hi everybody! Just wanted everyone to know that the run is still a go, and there will be a email blast in the very near future with all of the information, including the itinerary, the hotel rooms that will be set aside for us, the areas where we'll be camping a couple of nights, and the total cost....

A single hoop could be titanium, but it won't protect your cranium.

Hi! I received our USDA Permit today for the off-road runs in Buellton. As in years past, the permit spells out that in addition to having the run leader carry the signed permit paperwork with him, an Adventure Pass is required for all vehicles in recreation sites in the Figueroa Recreation Area or ...

Jay, I think it should just be your buggy on display since you've done all the legwork. I'm sending a flatbed down to pick it up and deliver it to Jay's warehouse. Don't tell him though, I want him to be surprised!

Thanks Joseph! It looks like its been well worth the wait. He sent me a video of him driving it for the first time yesterday (now up on facebook under David Barrett). The thing is blindingly fast. It'll be going on the Baja trek.

I'm positively going . . .Taking the renewed '67 Blue Manx. It's almost done . . . I swear to Buddha!

Hey Mike! Looks like we'll be down there in a week or two to pick up your dash. We'll have to stock up;-)

Small world Bob. .  . I've been meaning to go to that exact spot to find an airplane upholstery shop that supposedly does amazing custom full coverage buggy tops and doors. AND, I'm going through there tomorrow on my annual trek to participate in four days of March Madness revelry. So, I'll check it...

Happiest of Birthdays Bruce!  Welcome to middle age. I have no doubt you'll still be innovating well into your 100's!

I can't wait for it to come back!  Driving close to 2800 miles at 3600 RPM almost required me to have my dental work redone. I have to say though, I love the Subaru overall, I just need another gear! Here's a link to all Brad has accomplished so far. It should be done in another week or so . . . ht...
