Two buggies I remember most belonged to Gary Rollison and Lloyd Mosher. Rollison's was bright yellow and spent a good portion of it's time at Fleming & Aronson's shop on Howell. A beautiful car with a large IDA motor, it wound up "parked" in the front office of F&A one day when the throttle stuck with Ron Fleming behind the wheel. Fortunatly, no one was hurt and the car was "easily" repaired. Lloyd's was red and he used to drive it on the street before it became a racer. I remember getting a ride one day that put a huge smile on my face I'll not soon forget. Maybe Fabs can come up with a pic or two?
Rollison's buggy was featured in Volksworld in the mid nineties, it was the repaired version with graphics and sidepods. Very hard looking! |

I never liked these tupperware "cars" but that was until I had the pleasure to go for a ride in Monki`s beatiful buggy on a nice summer day last summer. It gave me the vibes and a real kick. Loved the way the engine sounded and the way his buggy handled the narrow roads. Thanks Monki... that was a good day.

Very much digging on this buggy. Looks to be Java Green, yes?
Love to see it with BRM or 911 Fuchs alloys... but looks great as it is.

I guess you're referring to its Gotti wheels and graphics. Consider the engineering. Consider the standard of construction and detail. Consider it was built many years ago. Consider the nitrous-injected FAT Performance motor etc etc. It is probably one of the most tofgether Buggies I have ever been in – I'd change the details (graphics, wheels, mirrors, etc) and put it visually back to its original form. But it is still an amazing car. You need to see it – and drive it. Different strokes and all that...  |
