hello barry.
i'm new too, aren't syncros great? a lot of the people i know with air cooled dubs are moving to 25's now and loving them. never owned an air cooled bus myself and am told i never will, now i have the relatively trouble free life of a t25 owner! ( i did say relatively)
Hello

Hello Barry, Hello Raddo J,
I have just got one too, picked it up last night. Had T2 for years but the T25 is leagues better and the Syncro is just ace.
Cheers, Paul.

hello all im in dagenham for the next two or three weeks then moving to a village in the mountains called oria near allbox near lorca in mercia,phew, so a camper with 4wd is a good idea.the other use for "All" is to go back to north africa and drive south,east, west and see where we end up. in the t2[1600 tin top devon] we,ve been overland to india[1year for the trip]. at the moment im trying to check as much of the syncro bits as i can, havent been off road yet!!

Old Syncronauts never die, and all that!
Glad to hear your back in ownership Terry; and to all of you a big welcome to the fold.
If you have not done so already; get your membership details in to Jenny; and if your really lucky you might just be in time to turn up at the AGM later this month and help steer the clubs future.

White with yellow wheels, Mmm... what makes you say that Aidan, an ancestral memory
He'll certianly need a good set of wheels and tyres - Machos Terry, can' beat 'em!

by terryvanman
thanks jenny
was pissed off too
got in at 1am was back at jacks at 6.30 this morning
he nearly fell down when i said that,
the 2 tone rust van with white pinstripe is mine.
he said you should have kept the camper
when he gives me the bill tonight
I'll probably think the same
I dont care
mad as a hatter

If you use the simple solution - Merc 15's - then no no change of studs and an easy swap on-site or just drive on them all the time like me..
