As I stated months ago....... [QUOTE=jboyton;13455]If you guys are having a hard time getting 5 entries every month to continue our BOTM. Don't make it a competition. Just put up one buggy a month.

What's going on with this idea. This idea started back in March and nothing has been decided. How hard is it to make a decision! The idea is so simple. Either "Paid up members submit photos and a short bio. You guys pick one for the month" or "You start at the top of the membership r...

Have glassed two of Bruce's dashs to get a larger pod for the gauges. Steering assembly is out of a wrecked 914 Porsche, with a locking steering column.
