Buggy´s for rent???

T-fighter - 5-12-2006 at 08:20 AM

Hi together,

What a s....t we´d like to come to Vegas to buggy driving (we are out of germany) but it is almost impossible to get our one Buggy´s over the big lake.Airlines redused their luggage weight from 2x 32kg to 2x 23kg and max. of 3 lagguage and the 3. have to have not more as 32kg.and will cost between 200 and 650.€ (arround 845.-$)
So my next opinion is to find someone who rent Buggy´s???
Do anyone know someone who´s able to rent 3-4 Libre buggýs????
Please no lynn Buggy´s....libre is allready hard to take if you get used to drive BBS or big selfmade buggy´s
PLEASE American Buggyíers Help us!!!
Thanks
Marco

Marco,
Have you checked into shipping your buggies ahead of your flight?
I have used DHL in the past.
Ship 2 weeks prior to departure.
Everything was hunky-dory and the cost was reasonable.

One of the issues of "renting" is the liability.
Perhaps you'd do better to "borrow" a buggy.

Jon Ellis the Libre dealer now.
Have you contacted him?

What is for u reasonable???
i have no adress from Jon Ellis
At the moment we check out how expensive it is to take a 20ft. container to San Francisco and the father of a friend over there is trucker....but then i ask my self where to put this thing...but this is just a opinion if we are more as 8 person...otherwise it would cost to much...I am waiting for prices to ship...to where did you go and what did u pay for by ship????
Thank´s Correy

Hey Marco
I guess since you drive a BBS or big selfmade buggy then a comparable buggy would be a Libre Special? LOL I will look around for buggys and hopefully can have a few for you to borrow. Let me know what your preferences are, Hardcore, Full Race, V-Max Strong?
You can keep your container out on Ivanpah dry lake at the NABX site. There is always someone there at night camping and watching out for others gear.
Another thing you could do is bring your buggy on the plane set up for barrow tires, as that is what most of us run in the hard packed dessert. Then rent the wheels and buy the 4 ply barrow tires over here from Mayor Sunset Jim.
Let me know what you would like to do.

Hey Jon,

If You ask my like that i like to have a dragster buggy from libre....:singing:
if you knew this, the newest one out from Libre, simular as the old BBS other wise i think is the fullrace or the truck the next best coice...what is for you the v-max strong??
Do u think that will work to borrow from you some buggy´s??? that would be perfekt, no longer searching for best price shipping, less luagage,more suveniers:spin:
let me know how that should work and where are you (town)....of course i think we will take our rims, maybe one set of tires and the rest we buy over there somewhere...
Thanks for answer!!!!
