Default Off Road Buggies - which one to go for?

Anyone into this form of motorsport?

Don't want to spend shed loads (around 2k will do for the use it will get!) but can anyone recommend an off road buggy. There seems to be 150cc air cooled single seaters around but fancy something with a bit more grunt.
I've looked at blitzworld, storm and rage so far

Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Rob

I thought this was about pushchairs. How sad have I become?

Just buy a car and adapt it, we have a Metro and its great fun, a better car stripped out, caged with the right tyres would be fantastic and could be done more cheaply than 2 grand, especially at the moment, something panel damaged would be what I would go for.

I sold mine last year, without a doubt the best build quality are the pgo bugriders. mine was the 250 and it was a 2006 model, you should get one for around the £2000 mark. they are great fun but I found myself using it less and less as its bloody cold and they are prone to silly electrical faults with the ignition and other areas.

sorry, not really into handlebars... prefer a steering wheel

Anyone bought a Joyner / Howie 650cc buggy?
Out of my price range new but might get a good 2nd hand one?
