Hay there gents I would like to introduce myself as a new member to the fab family, I have read so many of your threads these last couple of days my head is spinning, but to my dismay I need to add that I'm a NOOB to this, I have for the past 5 odd years dreamed of building a trail buggy for our South African highveld as I stay on a 5 000 hectares game farm, and then out of the blue I get a mail from a friend of mine with Cuda pics and I new this was the one, so after a lot of research I have decided to go forth and start my project (soon to come ) But I`ll need allot of help who is offering????? ;D

Great to see you here mate. South Africans are almost Aussies, reall nice guys. (well we do get eaten by the same shark genus.... great whites love both coast lines).

What Spec said, although getting used to us is quite a task sometimes. No doubt you will have heaps of questions but Im glad to hear you are doing some reading... wont hurt you at all. There are a heap of Cuda builders/owers on here. No shortage of info... go for it!

Hay all thanks for the kind words and welcoming me so openly

Doug do you ship out to SA, I have been through your posts and WTF dude your work is out of this world, If i could just have an quarter of your talent here in SA then i`ll be a bloody millionare mm:, but until then a slumdog i`ll be.

Well I don't know if any of you guys have been to SA at all but If you have you`ll know Things here are expensive for us who live here that's why we import so it might be a while before my Turbo Busa Cuda :d is ripping the snot off my little brother and his offroad crotch rocket group of dumbass friends  8)
