High octane Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 While I'm not really excited about the re-issued Myers Manx kit at all,I'll probably buy one as I'd like to put in a 'Vair engine into it istead of the VW power, or it'll just sit in the pile like so many other plastic purchases I've made of the years.
Nitro Neil Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Yeah, I want one, although I can't for the life of me think of a good reason why - it's not a drag car, it's not a hot rod, I'm not a big fan of kit-type VW-powered cars, and I will probably never build it. But I still want one. Maybe two.
george 53 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Probly just caz we missed 'em as kids, Neil. Heck half of my stash is because of memories!
blubaja Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Hell yea! Super excited! Definitely going to get a few!
Nitro Neil Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Probly just caz we missed 'em as kids, Neil. Heck half of my stash is because of memories! You're probably right George. Although I wanted a real dune buggy when I was a kid, not a model
Rob Hall Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Never had one of these kits...may have to get one, it's so different from what I normally build.
Eshaver Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I had one back in the day, the model that is . I may buy one just for nostalga sake .............. I would sooner buy something more in line like a Oldsmobile , a Ford sedan and maybe a Chrysler ...................... Ed Shaver
crazyjim Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I had a EMPI Imp (check avatar) for a few years. It was quick and fun to drive. It now lives in Texas.
Craig Irwin Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Yes! I need a little one to go with my 1:1 out in the garage. I've owned it 41 years now.
Swifster Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I never saw this kit growing up. Looking forward to it.
RodneyBad Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 not especially,I'm not into dune buggys.But you guy's buy them all up so we can get another rare kit in the mix. I'll do my part, that's for sure.. The things I'm willing to do for people.
Dave Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Yep, looking forward to it, don't know why, just something a little different for the shelf.
randx0 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Man I have been excited for several years when the rumors first started. I even stopped looking for the original online. If knew then how long it was really going to be, I probably would have sprung for one. I am not even sure how long it has really been 4 or 5 years at least.I will snap however if it gets pushed back again.
Chuck Most Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Yes. Can't say I'm a dune buggy fanatic, but I do like the Manx, and ANYTHING related to a VW Beetle is fantastic with me. Bet on me buying a couple.
jbwelda Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 this hasnt been actually issued or made yet has it? i want a couple to join the couple half-built originals i have but i will kinda believe it when i see it!
Jairus Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I built one as a kid and tossed the cardboard build up. Of course that one is long gone. then picked up a build up with box at a swap meet about 14 years ago. But looking forward to picking up one of the new ones anyway.
Tony T Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Yes, I'm in for at least one...they are a part of VW history and are historic unto themselves!
garryrenfro Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Yep, they're cute lil' babies. I plan on picking up 3-4 over the course of next year.
Tonioseven Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I want to build at least ONE of them!! Does anyone remember "Wonderbug"? Similar if not exact. That's partially why I want one to build.
ChrisPflug Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I want to build at least ONE of them!! Does anyone remember "Wonderbug"? Similar if not exact. That's partially why I want one to build. And Schlep! Edited December 12, 2011 by ChrisPflug
Fernando Roman Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and anxiously waiting..... It has been pushed back for a year now and it appears that it finally is going to happen (I hope). We VW fans get no respect... Anyway, I want a case whenever they show up!
Joe Handley Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I had one back in the day, the model that is . I may buy one just for nostalga sake ..............

Ed Shaver not especially,I'm not into dune buggys.But you guy's buy them all up so we can get another rare kit in the mix. Same here, I'm saving my green for the '50 Olds, '55 300, and the van kits!

rmvw guy Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 One for me until I open it up to examine the parts. Looking for a good VW engine with Empi parts.
