Pebbles and BamBam's Gentlemen's Club.....Car

It's been to the playa 2004, 2005 2006 (it was there but broke down early in the week), 2007 and 2008. I have my permission letter to bring it for 2009. It's base vehicle is an old Taylor Dunns electric golf cart, which, I didn't know at the time of building it, it was not the best choice, but after putting thousands of dollars into it, there's no turning back.

I burned out 2 motors and popped the tops off of a few batteries and burned battery cables before I finally got to where it seems to function well. The last motor I got was a 10 hp motor specially built for my needs. I explained my need to the sales person at D&D Motors in New York. He "totally" could not understand what in the heck I was doing with this "so-called" golf cart. So I sent him photos. Plenty of them. My next conversation with him was he said "I get it!! I know EXACTLY what you need". Expensive, but it works very well. I also upgraded my battery cables to the size used for welding......they are very thick and can handle it.

It has black lights and sound system for pole dancing. I use a Honda 2000 genny "on board" to power the lights and charge the batteries while driving. If too many people get on at one time, I stop the vehicle and let eveyone enjoy the music and pole dancing. When the crowd dispurses, I continue on my journey.

It also has an upper deck for VIP lap dancing, amoung other uses.

The front stage (with the 2 stripper poles) and the two sideboards (on on each side of the vehicle) have 10" swivel caster wheels (12 total) from Harbor Freight. I have to replace 2 or 3 of the wheels per night due to the rugged turain and extreme weight of passengers.

The front "fence" on the vehicle is for safety of the people on the ground that we approach. The "fence" discourages them from trying to enter the vehicle from the front. It forces them to enter from the side/s. Little did I know that "fence" would become such an important part of the dancing
