Meyers Manx Remastered

While remastered versions of songs, films, and video games have become commonplace, remastered vehicles are exceedingly rare and typically limited to the world of personal resto-mods. But there are exceptions, with Meyers Manx, LLC having recently announced a revised dune buggy kit that’s supposed to help customers build the project car of their dreams with some updates designed to improve quality of life without totally redefining the concept of the original VW-based scrambler from the 1960s.

Meyers Manx Reborn as All-Electric Dune Buggy

The iconic Meyers Manx is one of those vehicles everyone recognizes, even if they don't quite know what it is.

  • Luke42 I tried FSD for a month in December 2022 on my Model Y and wasn’t impressed.The building-blocks were amazing but sum of the all of those amazing parts was about as useful as Honda Sensing in terms of reducing the driver’s workload.I have a list of fixes I need to see in Autopilot before I blow another $200 renting FSD. But I will try it for free for a month.I would love it if FSD v12 lived up to the hype and my mind were changed. But I have no reason to believe I might be wrong at this point, based on the reviews I’ve read so far. [shrug]. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about it once I get to test it.
  • FormerFF We bought three new and one used car last year, so we won't be visiting any showrooms this year unless a meteor hits one of them. Sorry to hear that Mini has terminated the manual transmission, a Mini could be a fun car to drive with a stick.It appears that 2025 is going to see a significant decrease in the number of models that can be had with a stick. The used car we bought is a Mk 7 GTI with a six speed manual, and my younger daughter and I are enjoying it quite a lot. We'll be hanging on to it for many years.
