I thought you'd parked on a golf course at first.....  Cute little
car, that. I"d be thinking a tow bar with a clamp - like a jockey wheel clamp - that could grab the axle with some sort of upright incorporated (like
some multi-bicycle racks?) to attach to the down tube. Might be less risky to the duco than putting it on the roof.
Or maybe a small trailer......

Is that a Suzuki? If so, I had one of the original "Suzuki Jeeps" that they only imported into Hawaii during the 80's (had to sign an agreement that
I wouldn't take it out of the state when I bought it). It looked like a miniature Willys Jeep, had a 2 cylinder engine and maxed out at 45 mph on the
freeway. But that puppy worked great on the beach. That was my 2nd "beach mobile".  |

Planing on a small trailer but have to fab a hitch first.
It's Geo Tracker, exactly the same as a Suzuki Sidekick.

Love it!
I have a suzuki sidekick as well. This is my fourth Suzuki jeep; totally great gas mileage and go-anywhere type of vehicle.
Luckily my PL folder fits inside with just the front wheel removed.

Nice  I thought about doing that but I'd destroy the roof of my wife's
car; and there's no way I'm putting it on my car. so I got a trailer The geo
can pull a small trailer; before i landed on the trailer I have now, I thought about using a motorcycle trailer (the one for towing from a mototcycle)
and put a bracket on top for the buggy and use the inside for kites

They're called Jimny here and are pretty legendary! Have a look around YouTube, there's video of the Jimny driving around underwater and stuff 
... the wife's car is the Mitsubishi version called "Pajero Mini" which is a bit less spartan. Bit of a tight fit to get me inside it, let alone a
few kites, boards etc  still, a pretty impressive 4WD for such a small car - and
the intercooled-turbo puts out enough grunt to light the wheels up
Horrendous on the highway at even 60mph though - 7,000rpm for hours is not jun :o
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Why do you have one post and a strange link to an NZ site in your sig? You know, I have buddies back home over there who hunt down spammers and break
their fingers?

Nice ride, my wife had one that was white with over sized mudders. Had the hard top with a rack built in. Thing could climb trees.
They do make a hitch for it, you could rig up a rack for the bug to hang off the back.
If the wind dies at the beach, you could go out and play-tell the rangers it's an atv with doors

This is what I'm thinking of using for my next "kite mobile":
No room for a buggy but I plan on building a rack to carry my kiteboard and Venom. |

?? In Oregon all you need is a flag, tag, and fire extinguisher, to go anywhere ATVs are allowed. Is it deferent up north?

Right, 49cc. I saw a young guy on the beach who built one from a mountain bike and it inspired me. I live 3.3 miles from the beach which would be a
piece of cake to peddle, except there's a 100' incline on the bridge over to the island. That incline would get old fast. A little motor would be a
big help I think. This summer they'll be charging $10 a day to park at the beach, so this is what I think I'll use instead. The bike racks are
always empty, so parking won't be a problem.  |

Up north the beaches are off limits to everything except street legal vehicles, Horses and stupid people who are dumb enough to ride a moped. Nothing
off the hard pack.
