To sell syncro or not to sell?

[Cooper]

I'm 5.10, dark hair, blue eyes.. Lots of room but its a vw hitop, it does catch the wind a bit but makes life interesting! It's not so much its difficult to steer in the wind...more its difficult not to! can blow off line a bit but nothing to major.

Im 6ft but not bothered about head room.

Ive even had slight steering troubles in high winds even in my van.

All slab sided vans get blown about a bit...high ones will even more...I have had some good wobbles but will never blow over I reckon, more stable than they appear the syncros due to low center of gravity. Just remember to keep you eyes on the road and 2 hands on the wheel

Low center of graveity even if they are jacked up?

I dont fancy going across the QE2 bridge when its windy tho lol

Ahh..permission to speak has been granted...if I really needed a roof rack I would have to sell and buy a different van....changing roof tins is not easy to do, or is it easy to find a roof, or worth the effort..x


By different van I mean different syncro t3 van...not tranvestshite..

I suppose. Tis alot of work.

Just need to sell syncro and buy another one lol!

Could always do a swap for my new acquisition

Low center of gravity due to all the heavy stuff being low down in the chassis area...stability is a strong point as it wieght distribution.

Is it diesel or petrol?

[jed the spread]

I would like to fit a full roof rack. I dont want the exrta roof beds and i like the look of the tin top better.
Its more for full roof rack and fitting spot lights on roof.

I can probably change from pop to tin myself but it is hassle as i dont have a garage big enough and uk weather isnt great.

Like this?

I like the set up you have.

Yeh but i want the tin top with roof rack.

+ the roof rack on a pop top adds more height so harder for height restrictions or covered green lanes id say.

Yeh Jed

You should go off road in yours then you'd find that you couldn't get through those lanes!!!!

[Cooper]

Phill went with me down a little green lane near my house. He couldnt go down the lane at one end as he has a pop top and a roof rack on. There was low hanging branches and he couldnt pass underneath.

[Peninsulakid]

I think Jed would have got through coz he carries a tool with him
