Nice project
cheers Rick
Joker you havent been wasting your time on youtube have you
l got far too much stuff on there really, did you see the pug 206 with the mid mounted jag twin supercharger engine 
470 horses and 1400kg makes for a brisk acceleration rate 
, intrestingly it feels about the same as Lee's pilot when accelerating, 140 bhp and 350kg so l supose its in the same ball park but the pilot feels er... intresting as you are in the open with the air blowing into your face and the engine screaming at 10,000 rpm 2" from your earoles second run on here demonstrates it wheely on slippery field with little grip

if you try it on dry ground with good grip you end up sitting on your ****
the aformentioned pug 206

Well, I have now... even more time "wasted".
Sounds and looks absolutely awesome!

it was awsome indeed, l would point out that it wasent mine, my pockets are nowhere near that deep, there was tens of thousands of pounds invested in that machine, quaif seqencial gear box, bmw limited slipp diff's etc etc, not to mention the jag V8 twin supercharged engine that neally sucked you in the intake when the throttle was blipped, l would also like to say thanks to Jp and Niel to treating us to a few trips out in it, getting close to that sort of machinery dosent happen often ( to me anyway
) anyway back to reality, must get on with my go kart
well well what a small world we live in these days, yes it is the same baloo, how you doing these days, l dont get on to difflock much laterly,
the zils are fine l have them in storage at a local farm, they are bit too big to fit even my garage

I like the buggy, I bet you spend a lot of time looking at the sky in it.
yes a glass floor and rear wheel steer would be a good option pack to choose when you buy one
it dosent pop a wheely all the time you have to try for it or just be lucky/unlucky ? and floor the throttle as the front wheels hit a bump
it has the equiverlant of 450 bhp per ton
in fact Alan calls it the PEPERONI cause its a bit of an animal just about everyone who has driven it comes back with a silly grin on there face then climbs out and says "l have never ever driven anything like that ever",
makes us laugh anyway, the rear diff is an subaru imprezza lsd, the lsd is key to the piloting of the pilot as there are two brake pedals up front one works the left rear the other the right rear so to turn left you just stamp on the left pedal and it pulls you round as the right rear pushes you round, there little point it turning the steering anyway as the front wheels only skim the suface now and then
l think l have a computer full of buggy pics
, l can start an albumn if anyone is intrestedAndy

I can not believe how much mud there is on what is now your pilot, took ages to get clean.

yer l am shocked we were daft enough to go out in the buggys when the sun wasent shining and the ground dry, 
l can remember the pilot sitting the garage covered in mud quite clearly, still it all comes off,..............................eventually
first pic with hi vis jacket is me the others are Tim, l think

Good pics Baloo
Are those two straps on the steering to stop your hands/arms falling out of the sides if you turn it over ?
hi wyn
yes thats what they are for, your instinc is to put your arm out when you roll over, having your arms tied to the steering wheel stops you
