OK dates then... Simon and I have work commitments at the beginning of the month but we can both do the last two weekends. So how about 23rd, 24th, 30th or 31st?

The lanes Mal and I have done are very scenic, not too challenging. Would be suitable for all. There is about a 2 1/2 hour worth around Bovey Tracey towards Moretonhampstead, with various watering holes en-route. If anyone knows of any other lanes, perhaps the Okehampton ones that Syncropatrick has done could be added on in the afternoon, as the last lane takes us back to the A30.

Roger,

The lanes Simon & I drove the other month were in the Bovey area so any extra ones there would be useful.
Can you PM Simon & I the Grid Refs or similar and we'll start putting the day's laning together.

Good luck with the SIKA! :ok

I dont know if I can match the hospitality of Syncrospares but your welcome to meet at my workshop and travel from there if your doing Bovey and Totnes. Just let us know when the date has been confirmed.

Thats a good idea Dave!

A start point with tea making facilities sounds a great idea to me!

I don't think I'm going to make it this time. Since I got my syncro home, I've never got more than 10 miles without something going wrong. Still hoping to meet up with other syncro owners soon, never had a good look around any vehicle other than my own and very keen to learn all about them. I've downloaded how to get my difflocks working from the syncronauts website and bought myself an oil pressure guage so that I can find out if I really should be worrying about the low oil pressure lamp coming on every time it warms up.

I'll continue to watch this thread for the date and location, just in case things go better than expected and I'm feeling brave. Have an excellent meet.
