Hello. New guy here. Bought an already built East Coast Prowler a couple of years ago and love all things Buggy.
It's an unusual green metal flake colour officially known as 'chartreuse'.
Have been to the Volksweald festival a few times but went to our first proper buggy meet at the weekend down in Devon for Buggies in Beer.
Had a lovely time and met some nice people, one of which (Snoopy) encouraged me to join this site, so here I am!
This is the first forum I've ever joined so just figuring out what goes on and how to do stuff, so please be gentle!
I've not got that much mechanic experience but am keen to learn so welcome any advice.

Hello and welcome! Chartreuse is the best colour ever, here's one that I built 15+ years ago.

Welcome Martin.

Use the forum how you like - watch and 'lurk', start a build thread, offer tips/advice wrt buggy issues you have had/solved, ask any questions however seemingly basic or obscure, offer spare bits for sale, tell us about other hobby's when not occupied with buggy thoughts, stick up buggy photos, post joke in Andre's Salon and so on...

Whereabouts are you based ?

Good to see you in Beer at the weekend and really pleased you have joined us on here

Just because you bought it built does not mean you can escape starting a build thread in the Members Buggies section, as we still want to hear all about it and see some pictures of it.

Hopefully see you at Malvern in a couple of weeks?

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm in Colchester, North Essex.  We're pretty busy so probably won't be going to Malvern but are booked up for Volksweald in July if anyone else is going to that. There's normally a few buggies there.

Just figuring out how to add photos!
