I was never sure why his passion was so strong for the Burma Buggy, as he took apart a very viable HUP project in order to make it. But I guess each of us has his own quirks of passion, and it could have been something as simple as a photograph on this forum.

Rob,

I did not know and I am sorry to hear that. I now see he was last active on here in October 2009 and have deactivated his account.

Glad to hear he was able to finish his HUP project.

Edited to add a link to a thread dedicated to Bill's "Burma Buggy": http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=30710

Regards,
Hanno
