My beach buggy was constructed at Forster with my brother.
Construction time - chassis up (which we had already rebuilt)
took 3 month of weekend work by myself and a lot of nights
during those 3 months by Kevin
My buggy as far as I'm aware is the first 4-seater buggy to
be engineered and registered in NSW (10/5/2001) that complies
with the current RDA rules. I use my buggy for mainly Offroad
& love going to Stockton Sand Dunes
