Club 80-90 Forums

Hello everybody
We took a great pleasure in organizing this event and even more fun to participate with you. Our best reward is that all participants enjoyed. We really spent a fantastic week in your company.
A small regret, the lanes were often too easy because very dry, unlike during the recce as they were soggy. On the other hand, it has allowed to arrive early at bivouacs to relax a bit, “talk” together and have friendly “apéros”!

Here are some new pictures.
Do recce is sometimes turning over. The road book said to take the left path to avoid the “cant” ... Big mistake! Especially when I forget that I had an awning over my Syncro! Ouch!




Paul in action


Lower head !


Norman toilets

Ouch. My lovely painting!


Do we really need a 4x4? 3 wheels are enough.



Apéro !



Happy birthday Dai -And Aidan






And happy birthday Aidan by phone (What a good idea Paul) !).
No photo, but here is a word from Aidan “it was a shame that I could not make it to Normandy, but I very much enjoyed the special answerphone message : )”

Is Normandy a penal colony ???


Who is this guy in jail?


They ate the Norman patés and cheeses and they still laughing!





This is serious!






Would Paul try to do believe us he drinks only water ?



high Tide


A nice bunch of friends.


My awning recovered


Loulou, thanks for having restored a better shape to my Syncro.


There are some videos, but I have to find out how fit them on the forum.

What I like the most for me, what it makes me really heart-warming, it’s the family that represent Syncronauts of all countries. A large family of people warm and friendly. In difficult times, we saw the solidarity that could be between us.

Thank you to everyone and see you again … next year in Eire, doesn’t it Paul? (may be in Devon for me).

Jean-Claude et Catherine

Great work as ever jean - Claude .

Some nice picctures Jean-Claude: they show the great atmosphere and 'entente cordiale' from Day 1 to Day 10

There seems to be a queue forming au-delà La Manche pour l'année prochain.

More work next year again... you should not have made such a good event!

Please pass on Regards and Respect to: tous ce qui ont rendu possible d'avoir croisé la campagne de la vallée de Seinee cette année, merci

PS. Loulou looks busy

Coming back to life after France. One set of fresh 16" arms.

Did you find new ones or repair the old one Pat?

Unstitched the good rear from the knackered front and grafted it to a donor good front to make long ones. I've kept the damper mount position and elongated halfshaft hole so they are exactly what VW did when they made 16" arms. Except these are galvanised so should out last me. All work not done by me BTW.

Looks very good, nice job!! Can you do mine when they need doing?
