Its really a nice car John. But come on, the one that's NOT for sale 
is something even more one-of-a-kind. My glowing EV Beach Buggy (it 
needs a name). I have yet to identify the body maker, but its has 
lines even better than a "real" Manx. Of course it goes (quietly), 
glows (loudly), and I don't even have to pay for tabs anymore! It can 
be seen at <http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/125.html>, or in some 
OEVA "awareness day 2002" photos <http://www.oeva.org>, or at Geoff's 
personal web sight <http://homepage.mac.com/geoffshepherd>. I'm 
sorry, but its all MINE.

Like your beautiful Blue Meanie the Buggy has seen some upgrades too. 
I haven't had as much time, and have more in store for it. More 
purple, more glowing neon, frame upgrades, powercoating the frame, 
more chrome, more power (I need to bring the wheelstands back), more 
refinement, and always keeping the simple look and feel (and 
reality). I've even been thinking about a good sound system (a head 
unit would fill the one spot still available in the tiny dash.

Sell my buggy? I'd rather loose my right nut!

Neon

P.S. - where is that picture of you standing in front of the Blue 
Meanie with lightning bolts coming out of your hands?
