To sell the landy and get a syncro!

Yee haa. The lovely wife came round to my way of thinking at van fest - there were some awesome vans.

We are quite enjoying the whole land rover experience, have done lots of green laning and quite a few pay and play days - but i can't camp in the landy! I keep getting the pimped up lowered van look stuck when im fishing and the wife complains about the smell of fish in the van (god knows why cause i hardly ever catch anything).

Be quite interesting to see what the syncro's can do compared to a landy.

Anyway, need to tidy up the landy first so i can get a decent price for it. Preferably before it breaks again (somehting goes about once a month....).

Might actually make the whole car buying experience (hmmm shiny...) a bit more interesting and try and source one from germany.

Silly question to ask on this forum - but are we doing the right thing ? Is a syncro just as much of a money pit as a landy ?

Thanks

Ringo

Well,
Never owned a landrover.. but driven an 88"... what a tractor.......

no roo; inside and the ride is orrible....

Have a look on www.busman.be for some cracking video (need ADSL/broadbeen)
Have you been to a syncro event??

Maybe you should go with the landy and see where either can get, or maybe so;eone will join you at a pay and play (I am up for that, will be in the UK for a few weeks shortly too)

Of course, you will get a totally unbiased

opinion on here!!!!
