Bad Manx Buggy ®™ Kool Air Cooled Cars... Rule

Well, this is so disappointing to #BadManxBuggy… I was looking forward to debuting my hard work (and kudos to my bro Bruce for the chassis work and painting) for the past 4 years…

Yup, everything was aligned the moon, stars, my shift work, the weather…? rain or shine the show must go on, the front end, tuned up, polished and shined and, BOOM…

2020 Show Has Been Cancelled

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, we have had to cancel this years show. Please save the date for 2021!

Here is a little re-cap of the work over the past 4 years… enjoy!
