Ok, I'm really wanting to pick up one of Van's amazing creations so I'm testing the waters so to say to see if there's any interest.
PL XR+, very little use ('til today 
), has maybe 5 hrs tops on it, currently has
the AWOC backrest (both upper and lower) installed for additional back support, and our custom PVC pipe front fender, heh.
Can be picked up/delivered to the event in Primm for no charge. Shipping extra
if necessary.
SOLD.

I wonder if I should just buy this for old times' sake. BTW, I destroyed your Phantom and gave myself a concussion in the process. Kite and Pilot
are almost fully recovered. It's now a "Tri-Skin" kite 
Buy from this guy. He's a good chap.

Dave (Prolo),
Smeagol brought this buggy to my camp as he went to dinner. I sat in it and I can say the backrest made this buggy REALLY comfee.
The next day I pulled it back to the HQ tent and someone asked me about it. I talked it up and made him sit in it. He thought it was a good deal so
I told him to talk to Smeagol.
Smeagol confirmed that he bought it.
Dave...I wish I could have brought a few buggies back for you. The Aluminum one that John Alden brought back was amazing!

Wait, John bought a 3rd buggy? I'm not actually in the market for one yet, but since Mike and I have basically swapped quivers over the last year, I
thought I'd pipe up. When I am in the market, I think the XR is a perfect entry level (although Van makes some amazing vehicles, and I do love your
Libre). Plus buggies hurt less than landboards for old guys.
So are you going to be rolling out the phantom on Sunday? I'll come up if you are.

Dave,
The XR+ with upgrade kit is still available !! haha... If no one picks it up at JIBE, I can make you a deal you can't refuse.

Van how much for that again?

Dave,
You want VANs buggy. As soon as I saw it I tried desperately to find a place that would take my blood, plasma and other liquids so that I could bring
it home with me.
Yes, I will bring out the Phantom if you teach me to use it. Plus, you can fly my 10.8m Reactor!

Hey now, it's a requirement I have to take out any new phanny in the area and start boosting with it....
Proletariat - 18-4-2013 at 09:19 PM
Wow... 10.5m Reactor? Seems like a bad idea (and looks a LOT like my Blade). Here is proof:

Van. Can you send me pics of that bad boy? Do you still have my email?
Proletariat - 18-4-2013 at 09:22 PM
Okay, I like the official one better:

Hello is the XR+ still available? would you ship it?
Smeagol - 20-4-2013 at 07:51 PM
Sorry about that, yes this sold out on the Playa our last day out. When I originally posted there was a duplicate post, forgot to update them both.
You should grab Van's XR+ with the VTT kit, a great deal and super comfy.
thanks,
Mike
