Oops.... Looks like I have dragged another person over to the dark side. If you look through the videos on my website in my signiture I would personally like to think I needed one really, I wouldn't have been able to wild camp in half the place's I have if I hadn't have owned Syncro's. Most of us on the syncro forum do know each other but it's only through getting together a couple of times a year having fun in these vans.

Hi Kevin

I have recently gone through the same thought process as you are going through, and I am now a proud Syncro owner. This link http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/t3-sy ... 53792.html might help you decide what you are after, my priorities changed as the price went up, but now I have a 4x4 camper that is different from all the other t4/5's in the area. I have loads to learn, as I did with my bay, but thats the fun for me. Good luck with your search - and thanks to those who help us newbies with our daft questions!

Cheers

Greg

OK.. so need may have not been quite the right word... :roll:

The raving "syncromusthaves" are not a good thing.... its generally a wallet crushing disease..... :rofl more so for short term ownership.. so works out ok in the long term...

there have been lots of people that have bought a syncro, only to find out after what they have got them selves into.. some buy then and never even venture into a muddy feild let alone the kind of things some of us get up too... :rofl :rofl there are some that are even thinking of removing the "4wd" parts to make into a 2wd as "they dont need 4wd"........ :roll:

"Eyes open".. not an issue.. :ok "its just a camper with 4wd, whats the difference"........ big issues....

See you at the next syncro event then??? even if you dont have one.... :wink: :ok

I hold you personally responsible for my financial demise and descent into syncrodependant syndrome with all that irresponsible youtube posting! Nothing to do with my OCD, bipolar tendancies or low self-esteem and narcissistic self loathing, obviously.
Everyone else at sycrop just made it all so much better. Worse. Better. Worse. :shock: :rofl

The 2.1 Caravelle RHD that Slobbo posted the details about is still for sale and is just back from a film shoot for the BBC that earned Jim the owner a tidy bit off cash...:lol

Because of this he said he is now willing to let the price slip a bit so if someone wants to grab themselves a good solid bus I would give him a call....01383721281.

If you've got any doubts on the condition of this bus just give Ian a call at Syncronutz as that is where Jim bought it from and it has just sailed through its mot no probs. :ok

I'm selling mine )c: It is seriously the most enjoyable vehicle I've ever driven, puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, but I don't use it enough, and am starting a new job next week, so will have even less time

Jed's seen it with his mate Bob, I think he thought, whilst not the "van in a million" that Bob was looking for, it was not a bad 'un
