    RIP Bruce Myers . Old Red Bruce Myers dune buggy needs to be in the Petersen Automotive Museum or a Museum that celebrates the pop culture of California or a off-road museum

    Wow, I really didn't care about these but now it makes sense and they are interesting.

    Not the content I expected... but the content I needed. Can't claim to have heard of him before clicking this video but thoroughly enjoyed listening to his positivity and it's put a huge smile on my face. RIP Bruce.

    One of the very few among the car guys whose hand was worthy of shaking . . . Pure legend of his own making. Rest In Peace (& Fun)

    Thanks so much for making this. It's sad that he's passed away now, but crazy to think that I'd never heard of him before watching this.
    Rest in Peace.

    We need bigger garages in the UK. Ones where kids can work with their dads on new projects.

    Driving is supposed to be fun - cars are supposed to be fun - and they really don't come much more fun than a proper beach buggy in sparkly day-glo paint

    I would never part with mine. This guy has given everyone a gift, even though he probably wanted to monetise it, the car will always represent something great, bigger than money. You’re almost just buying fun.
    No door no roof no windows, no worries !
