We can then discuss ure affensive user name!
Nice to see people still hiding behind anonimity when posting.
Russ - to be fair to the guy he could be a Beetle fan - Käfer means beetle in German. I know it's something different in RSA - and you would be right to be annoyed if that is the usage.

caffre, kafir, kaffir or caffer are an offensive term for any Black African and like just said Kafer is this http://www.typ15.com/

Oops!
please accept my apologies, my username is not meant in a derogatory way at all, and I sincerely regret offending anyone... its my username on a few forums (VZi, brickyard, Volkstorque) and do indeed link back to my first love in the car world, my beetles! I aren't trying to hide behind anonymity - although I am aware that it is a way for the small minded to get a particular point of view across which they would never dare publicly/face to face come out and say.
Never heard it used in a derogatory way, I'm from a fairly well mixed community where different races of people get on very well - there is little/no racism evident so maybe thats why I haven't heard the term used in a bad way.
Maybe time to change my accounts cause I don't want people getting the wrong end of the stick...
On the plus side - how cool is that Syncro?! I'm new to the T25 scene (well, not quite new, but its been 10 years since my last one!) and was JUST about to buy some lowering springs when I happened across the syncros - I like 'em a lot!
Is there any way I can improve the offroad performance of my 2wd 1.9 petrol panel van? Anyone know someone whos done this?
Again Russ/others, sorry about the u/name - think I'll change it.

There's a boatload of Syncros out there. Why would you waste time trying to make your 2WD van better when you could sell it and buy a perfectly good and fully formed SYncro - especially as VW put SO many detail differences into them that you'd never fully make what the Syncro is - an astonishingly useful and capable vehicle.
Come to a Syncronauts event later this year and you'll see what we mean.

there is a VW manual out there somewhere which outlines just that covers things like putting reinforcement on the fuel tank and the like.
http://vwpix.terlinden.com/index_en.htm may be one Christophs site somewhere
I have tried my 2wd camper with some snow chains in the mud and did quite well til I bottomed out in some ruts. anyway hardly off road material but it would get you out of a waterlogged campsite if push came to shove.
