Bruce heads for the big sand dune in the sky
https://racer.com/2021/02/19/off-road-pioneer-bruce-meyers-dies-aged-94/
  He had a great and long life. Back in high school 50 years ago, my very 1st car in high school was a Manx clone. I've been a car nut and working on cars ever since.

Oh wow. He and Jay Leno are the two biggest car guys in LA. What a loss for the local car scene.

Sad news for sure. He did more than most for the off-road vw community. He is a legend and leaves a legacy of cool world wide.

Never had a Manx...always kinda wanted one, despite it being not practical for Oregon.
Perfect for the soucal beach scene...

Always wanted an SR2, RIP Bruce. Expect to see his wonderful creations on BaT in the coming months.

Poor Bruce Meyer and his family are fielding phone calls and texts from confused people over the last couple days, I've even gotten one because I am friends w his daughter. Imagine some of their surprise when the dead guy answers the phone or the front door of their house.  PS: He's also not the guy getting a shout-out from Peter Frampton on that famous live album.
