aloha from hawaii
« on: June 26, 2009, 12:40:47 AM »
Hello evreywon, I have been a member here for only a few months, Doug Heim turned me on to it.
out here in the 50th state there is really no "buggys" of the caliber that you all own.
I purchased a piranha from the edge in 2000, one of the first, it was converted by the edge to a series 2, and they mounted a vfr 800 for me that I purchased in aus.
since then i have aquired lots of components but have yet to finnish my project. I know, I know, most of you could have built 5 in that time, but now I am approching the finnish (I hope) and the info that I read on this site is right on, I hope I can make you all proud of I think your only hawaii member..

Aloha Ace,
Seems like there is always something getting in the way of buggy building :P
But you stuck with it so far...
How about some pix?

Gday mate and welcome. I know you guys are governed by the US but really you Hawians (living in the pacific basin like us) are quite normal. So us Aussies will treat you like real human being as opposed to a norte americano...  ;D ;D

G'day Joe, I built a Piranah with a VFR800 in it, man what a hasell I had with the fuel tank running the original fuel pump, or should I say making a tank liquid tight! I got it but.. Good luck with it and as Spec said whack some pics up so we can have a look. Oh and welcome don't be shy. ;D  ;)

I'll echo the other guys.WELCOME!!!!
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Thanks guys for the warm welcome!!
I do however somtimes wish I haddent found this site as there are so many cool ideas and pictures from other builders, I feel like I'll never get this piranha finnished!! 8) I cant make up my mind on what I want to do, and there always seems to be a better idea than what I have..
all kidding aside, thanks guys.. I will be posting up some pics and asking questions..
Joe
