Thanks but all the credit must go to the guys in Australia willing to take on the challenge, Marty James & Jeremy West from Queensland, especially Marty, we exchanged 100s of emails, I am so pleased for them both, and wish them all the luck in producing many more

I also wish them lot's of success and perhaps we'll see these bugs on this side of the Atlantic some time soon.

Is the Ivanpah from awindofchange not a bit of a PTW ?
Or is it just the closest thing I have seen to a buggy of such quality ?

That looks amazing.

That Lovely buggy, is almost a cross between the Cougar and the SuperBug, but designed for barrow type wheels for places such as the Ivanpah Dry lake bed.

The Cougar and SuperBug are designed for bigger wheels and built for the beach, if I were to use barrow wheels on these buggies they would bottom out at the side rail swan neck junction
