Talked to the Bro-in-law this weekend about finding the owner of this buggy to buy it, or haul it off, or whatever. It seems one of the reasons for the delay is that he is contemplating a logistics nightmare that includes buying a 25ft storage box, putting an Isuzu Trooper in it, renting a barge to haul that across the to the Island where this buggy is, loading an old rust-bucket Toyota Land Cruiser and the buggy on the barge (if we can get it), floating them both back to port, then hauling each on separate trailers back to our houses to begin our propective projects!
Forget just finding out who owns the buggy and me getting it off the island myself, apparently that's WAY TOO EASY! So here I sit, reading forums, learning this and that from tech articles, dreaming buggies every night, talking about them all day long with friends at work and all night long with wife at home. Maybe the patience will pay off, maybe not.
Went to the Hawkeye websire and filled out an enquiry to have a buggy (or partial thereof) priced for building. There's no cure - I have buggies on the brain and the only way to cure it is obvious.
Still curious about the I.D. of the old abandoned girl though - any leads?
