apart from the post on general from Simon we've heard nowt directly; he was on Syncro25 committee but didn't get involved, he went to another VW show in Germany this year instead and he's got MG organising things which isn't very clever since Mike isn't on any uk forums now so can't exactly liase with peeps and Simon never comes on here and post or pick up the phone and call

but since the splittie and bay boys and girls aren't interested in us nor the T4 and T5 possee it doesn't really matter

Mike Plompen will be there with some cracking vans for sale though and I think there will be lots of syncros in the for sale section

Thankyou Pad, the Vanfest World will never be the same again... !

and I think there will be lots of syncros in the for sale section

There will, one I know of will be Fran's Australian Trakka Syncro, a very rare and lovely thing (we hope soon to be putting his Trakka photo article on the SN website, for posterity), and have had several people contact me recently about buying or selling Syncros - so a lot of Syncro activity there as you say Aidan.

Oh dear what a shame.
Anyway looking at the weather they may need the odd syncro or 2 to tug some vans off of the we t soggy campsite.
It's all the little moments in life that make it a big adventure.

No bother Aiden, an awesome Vanfest and a massive syncro presence. Even the traders seemed to be quite realistic on prices with some barging Captains seats I saw for sale with one broke arm rest, two stalls along was a trader selling cheap arm rests and over the way a trader selling a head rest so bargains could be found if you snooped around abit. Got a good grey door card for £2, there seemed to be quite abit of tristar bits anything from rear door cards to heated rear glass also aluminum dropsides etc.... I had a good talk with the electric power steering fella, the fake westy roof fitting fella, get some money from a Yorkshire man (something you dont see very often ) loads to do.... Saw Pete & Sharon, Glen, Andy, Alister, Doug, etc

Did anyone see the white Syncro Doka in the for sale section? I'm now getting it in the ear from the wife and boy for not buying it!! It looked lovely.

Well, we went, wallet is defo lighter and van heavier coming back. For a change actually picked up some worthwhile goodies.

And yes we did display in the syncro 25 after being asked very nicely.
Our multivan and Jason & Pauline's vans went on display for sunday.

Weather was good, caught up with fellow syncronauts UK, Belgium, German and Norwegian.
