Latest buggy build 'the Black Knight'

kteguru - 21-3-2024 at 04:59 PM

Buggy's been done for a few months and I finally got a chance to get some pics to post here. Sorry if the pics aren't the best but the wind was 25 mph gusting to 40 mph today so it was hard to hold the phone still :lol:.

First few pics are of the parts during painting the satin black. The rest are from today at the beach. Buggy rode really well. Super smooth ride with the Pirelli tires on Douglas wheels :smug:

Ivanpah here we come :D:cool:

Thanks Randy! I'd love to take some videos of the buggies but unfortunately that's beyond my tech level :lol:. Perhaps some of the guys at IBX will get some when we are there in a few weeks :thumbup:

And thank you Redsky! You couldn't pay me a higher compliment :smilegrin:. I thought you would like how angular it is. Many pointy bits for impaling :D:cool:

Loving it Kteguru. I tried several times to post up but couldn't, now I can, I've forgotten what I was trying to say lol.
Not long now until your trip!
Take some video. We don't care about camera skills and editing, just take some for us. We're dying here.

Another work of art. Your skills and imagination are next level.

Since my techie skills are near zero you'll have to take a check. I'll drop it off in person and we can kite Purley Way while I'm there :thumbup:. Of course since I don't fly with airlines anymore I'll have to take a boat,,,,this may take a few weeks,,,,, and hopefully it doesn't sink. I'll make sure to bring your favorite biscuits and tube kites ;)

fast food

hey
this flying pitchfork could double as a lunch-getter. whatever beach creatures that get impaled during a kiting run could become fantastic beach du jour.
park the buggy tines over some nice hot coals when you're done, and enjoy the finest of buggy kebobs in the afterglow.

I like your thinking Tom :thumbup:. Seafood BBQ it is :lol:.

Glad you like it. Exclusive to PKF only since I don't have any social media :D.

Hey thinking of that,,, where is Juan and Jantie? They're missing from the chat. We can't be losing anyone as we're already down to the last couple of us :lol:

RedSky - 28-3-2024 at 08:34 PM

:D Yes, kteguru. A tour of Purley Way and Camber if you get here.
Just don't go by containership for the moment. I'll accept a banker's draft or cheque, either is fine by me. Be sure to place them in a water-tight container or bag in case you capsize and have to self-rescue across the Atlantic with the Switch Nitro.

Juan and Jantie represent 40% of PKF membership. Talk of a seafood BBQ should however arouse Juan's interest.
Maybe we can entice Jantie to swing by if we add some king crab into the mix.

I see what you did there Tom ;)

rtz - 29-3-2024 at 10:57 PM

I like the design.

kteguru - 30-3-2024 at 01:00 PM

Thanks rtz!
Any chance you'll be joining us at ivanpah next week?
Oklahoma isn't that far from the playa ;):thumbup::thumbup:
