Six Years of Making Power Kite Buggies by PTW

http://pic7.piczo.com/Popeyethewelder?g=33348430
Well...it all started off in 03...I made the funny looking Grass Cutter buggy, without ever seeing a buggy before..in pictures, or real life,...then it wasn't until I had seen other buggies that I made the 06 Fandango buggy in early 2006....from then it has been a constant stream of one buggy after another, always trying to push the envelope that little bit more....to be honest, there are only so many things you can do with three wheels and a bit of bent tube.

I have never been out to make a living from making buggies, but more to encourage other people to have a bash at making there own, (that's why I share so much of my work) and to a certain extent that has worked, many people from all over the world send me photo's of buggies they have made, many of them being copies of what I have done, thats great and also that many people have come up with their own designs...you can tell the pride in their emails, that they have created a buggy. It is a fantastic feeling rolling your own creation onto the playa...to be different from the rest, to have people come up to you and say where do you get that from?......"I MADE IT"...great feeling.

I will continue to make buggies for a while....I still have the drive at the moment. I believe the future of buggies will continue with more exotic materials such as composites, carbons and exotic steels.
