And as you'd imagine from the lack of reply in here - Lee has probably no idea he's won it for his kid yet.

Your right… I had no idea!! (I'd been hitting the slopes in Slovakia!)

I had always intended to buy this buggy for me lad to have a proper go at buggy racing after reading the review on oOple… but needed to save up enough cash, so to win one is just amazing!

My son knows I entered the competition but I’m not going to tell him I’ve won it yet…. I think I’m going to secretly build it and then surprise him with the finished article!

I’ll post up pics of the lucky lad with the finished car as soon as it’s finished!

Many thanks,

Lee.

Thanks for posting the photo Lee - what a great smile! Loving the body shell, did you paint that yourself?
When is the first outing then? Looking forward to hearing how it goes,

I wish! No, bodyshell courtesy of Jon Miller.

First outing, all going to plan, will be this coming Sunday at the Lawford Buggy Club indoor GP. Lots of hard walls and large jumps.... the perfect test!

haha excellent! I raced with my Durga today - I didn't suit the track but the car was again awesome and at least I got some really nice laps in, just too many mistakes

Jimmy your car looked good from where i was marshalling.

[Zipper]

So far so good for the oOple Durga... my lad has raced two full meetings without a breakage (something he had never previously managed) and he picked up "driver of the day" at the last one!

[Northy]

That's great news, I'm glad you and your son are enjoying it.

Good news Zipper! Apart from that wishbone in the first race, I've never broken anything on the car despite racing it plenty of times at regionals, nationals etc.. Glad he's enjoying it!
