Not the only girl who wants a syncro

Why didn't you say earlier? I'd of been more forgiving of your daft questions!!! :rollin

Careful about meet invites though, they just want you to check out their big props (or small drive-shafts!!) :rofl :rofl :rofl

You can't say that Karl, it's positive discrimination!

Anyone can be inexperienced in mechanical matters, it's not gender-specific.

There's a few cheque-book Charlies here, after all (note use of androgenous name :wink: )

I did mention it before in an earlyer post.

I do think everyone makes daft posts for time to time male or female. :D

Just wanted to say what a fascinating and informative thread.

I am also looking for my first syncro (been searching for about 12 months) and have learnt a lot from the sage advice offered to Cooper as well as all the other resources on the site.

Should someone be distilling the gems from this thread into another wiki page?

Marvellous!!
Enjoying my Syncro camper.

I too have found Cooper has asked a few questions that I didn't dare for fear of mocking. Sometimes something seems so obvious to those in the know.

Good to have Max making a contribution too, even if only to give some of us a bit of a telling off for being naughty boys...

Hey Cooper....

You could give Marcus a go and buy this, https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=97763" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and with the rest of your budget pay him to finish it ready for you to use. Marcus is always up for a deal and very realistic on what things are worth.

Worth a try?

Unbelievable. I pay your DOKA a compliment by saying what a good buy it is, bargain etc. and you pi$$ on my chips with that. Thanks!

Note: too much cheap Bulgarian red drunk at this point. Time for bed.

I just remembered about these old video clips of Marcus's van, its the perfect colour if you plan on wild camping as it blends in just about anywhere. Hope this helps,
