You should never have broke that bus mate, but I guess you know that, still most of it lives on in one syncro or another

Re: Syncro versus ????
Hi Aidan, you are quite right, deep down I knew i would regret it all along, but we all make mistakes!
Anyway, had a look over the mitsubishi now and it looks like its worth doing some work to it, so depending how far I get by then could be good to bring it to SP and catch up, although i may suffer from sever syncro envy!!

Hey Sam, good to hear from you, be great to see you at an event. That gearbox and bellhousing are still going strong though I did have to upgrade to the turbo clutch.
Which L300, 3G or 4G ? Spec ?

Hi Andy, hope alls well. Its a 3G (4G is technically a l400) the one most resembling syncro shape of course! Currently deciding what mods its going to receive....

Re: Syncro versus ????
Well I'd have this :

3 diff locks, and brand new. So parts no problem and reliable (? Yet to be confirmed)
I'd like something bigger than a Syncro as an overlander. A Mog is just to much grief. Too thirsty and heavy.

Re: Syncro versus ????
Saw this overlander this week in Normandy, got a quick tour from the french couple and although my french is not the best I think they were on a shake down trip of the coast before setting off to Mongolia. The detailing was nice but although it looked large the living space was tight. It was a two birth so not sure how useful the crew cab base vehicle was. Back seats had been removed for batteries etc and a neat crawl through.
