Hey guys,

I took Mrs. Gman for a ride through the neighborhood and she likes it - a lot! Actually, she can't wait to get it out in some of the State/Federal recreation areas where we can cruise, camp, and have fun offroad. A friend introduced me to a local guy who runs with a group of other rail owners. They run every weekend, either in town like a rod cruise, or on trails on State/Federal lands.

Here is a link to a club I am trying to join. They are a very active club with their own private driving area - with a sand pit and hill climb. They are not far from my house, about an hour and a half, and they run every week. Check out these air shots!

I'm looking to buy a flatbed trailer so I don't have to burn my sand tires or other gear by dragging the buggy behind my truck. I wasted one of the rear tires pulling it the 225 miles home.

So, in light of my new purchase, I will be turning up production of my Gman Tikis to finance my new ride. Just so you all know, I will likely not be spending much time on real deatiled pieces, unless done on commission. Please don't bash me for it. After finishing this Maori, I'll be back to the basics, pumping pieces out for the relatively inexpensive market.

I'll post some side pics of the rail today as a few TCers have asked to see other shots of the buggy.
