Hi Everyone, I'm new to the Manx Club.  I've been busy putting my buggy back on the road.  I rescued it from it's previous life as a sand rail.  I live just south of Reno NV in Washoe Valley.

Glad to be here!

Here's my buggy.

Welcome to the site.

You have a very nice looking buggy.

Are you going on the Manx Club Run at Mammoth September 9th with your buggy?

Cool. I'm doing an engine transplant and starting a rebuild. Had to swap to a 1967 block to make the Guys down at the emissions lab at DMV happy. darn Washoe County. They are tougher than CA.

No, I won't be able to make it this time.  Have fun!  I'll touch base after the weekend.  The balloon races will be running me ragged.

I think I just dropped out of an alien spacecraft.  Somehow the buggy got registered in my absence.  Wow!
