Ungainly excuse with some structural weaknesses.

That was a variation of the B-24 developed for the Navy. It was called the Consolidated PB4Y-2
Privateer.

My apologies. I mistook it as rent. So sorry. You're right, it sucks. God, I hate getting old. Think last, talk first.

What is the story on the white buggy?

Random:

The White Buggy is one of the first Manxters Bruce Meyers produced in 1995. It is White Metal Flake. Owned by a couple in CT. It has a custom A-Arm billet front suspension, 5 speed Mendeola transaxle and a 330 horse Suby engine. It is stunning to see in person. And it is her buggy, not his. It's 3rd trip across the US.




This years trip, on the way home, we spent 2 days in Moab and ran several canyon trails. Had a blast. 7200 miles in 20 days, 20 states.

330hp in that? If you put wings on it, it would probably fly! What's it weigh? 1500 lbs?

My guess is around 1900 pounds. Kathleen told me she has never been able to hold it WOT for more than about 5 seconds. I have 140 horse in mine and she runs away from me.
