Its been a bit quite around here lately. I finished the buggy, mostly, there are a few jobs to be done but I have had to prioritise my family again for a little while. In the next few weeks i’ll start getting back into the garage again.

The pictures of the blue beetle where for a fellow member of the Eircooled club who was interested in buying her but family circumstances wouldn’t allow it at the time. I’m half thinking of doing her up over the winter but ssssh, don’t tell the wife, if Alma hears I’m thinking about starting something else I’ll be divorced. As you can see it needs a heater channel on one side and generally just a good clean up and tidyup. Its a good car and goes great.

I have got approve from the boss to do one project over the winter, I’m hopefully going to start Evin’s mini -manx, basically just like my beach buggy only 1/10 the size!! It will even be powered by a aircooled motor but he is only getting a 50cc one!! It will be another year or so before he will be able to enjoy it fully but I want to have it done for next years shows so we will have a little and large!! I’m having a little trouble getting my hands on the mini-manx body but hopefully I’ll be able to get one before I’m in the UK next month.
