PLEASE NOTE I will on some occasions remove some comments that are not relevant or I believe are not contributing towards the particular question, please do not be offended, I am merely trying to keep the question “on topic”….I am not having a go at you nor censoring the posts….JUST KEEPING IT ON TOPIC
If a particular poster keeps adding pointless/worthless comments, or taking the subject off topic they will be removed from the group.
Lastly, I would like to see as many different buggiers as possible get involved from around the world within the questions and answers, is you feel, the questions are not relevant to your style of buggying or country, then please ask questions yourself.
A massive thank you to all the buggiers who have contributed to this group.
