As I'm in London for a few weeks, I knew I had to meet up with Lee. And after having had some pints and great VW talks on Thursday he offered to pick me up on Saturday (yesterday) and head off to a Hot Rod show in his Manx. An offer I couldn't resist  Wink

Lee, it was amazing to see you blast round the corner in the midst of London traffic in the morning and it was even better sitting in the passenger seat  Grin
Oh and Jim! We managed to scare quite a few people as well  Cheesy



I had a blast! Here are a few vids to get an idea of what we did:

What's that thing called tunnel sound?  Shocked

Chasing Rob's buggy after the show:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/mI8lIoMGTTk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/mI8lIoMGTTk</a>

- I'm having trouble uploading the vids on youtube, so i'm hoping to put more on later -

I have a very nice vid of us pulling up onto the A1 as well, but it keeps ending up as "failed"  Undecided

Another photo of the Manx at the services:

 Awesome!!! Nice to see you're enjoying yourself there in the UK mate!!!  Cool  Those vids are really great!!
 Must be great to fly full-throttle through central London in a dune buggy... Cool   (had the same experience in a quite 'potent' Golf Mk I with a niece of my dad who lives there...  Shocked ) 

 I'm btw not a huge fan of most buggies... but Lee I so loooooooooove YOUR buggy... It's really great!!!  Cool
 Are you coming to DDD#5?

Yep Charginging round London at 5000rpm in a Manx is probably the best fun you can have with your clothes on anyway Wink

And thanks for your comments on the Buggy - its funny cos alot of people tell me that they "normally" hate buggies but they Love mine - I guess I did something right  Wink Smiley

As for DDD I would really love to come but I will have to check my funds as I am buying that 66 in a few weeks and that is going to wipe me out  Smiley

I could probably vouch for that, especially when you're behind the steering wheel  Wink

You did everything right pal! And yes peeps, he gets so much attention on the road he's gotten immune to it.
We had so many thumbs up directed at us.

See you on Tuesday  Wink

P.s. the last vid where i pulled my screaming face keeps ending up as failed... i'm uploading it for the 8th time (or sth) now.

Alright, no Manx tonight, but instead some good tasting pints and a proper "american burger" with atomic chips, onion rings and a milkshake at Ed's (Easy Diner)



And good VW talks of course  Wink
