Some of the syncros from this end of the country got together today ...

Nice.... Its been raining here and the snow has virtualy gone... still havent been able to go play in some snow... doubt we will see much more...

Great shots Ben and nice to meet you at last! It was a blast to drive up to Ding Dong mine and play in the snow. Being relatively new to Syncros I was amazed by how capable they are off road. The gnarly hill we ascended measured a cool 33 degrees - a 1 in 3 gradient - and was covered in snow, rock and ice! It took three attempts to make the hill, but Dan pulled it off first in his 16 Doka, followed by me (again on the 3rd attempt) in the 14 Single. Long live the 'End of The Road Syncros'!

I really enjoyed it. Must meet up again soon

Great Syncro Snow action shots fellas. Keep em coming, they're spurring me on to crack on with the Doka project regardless of the temperature in the garage.

Cheers. I really want a doka after today!

Looks like fun. Good pics

Who's van belongs to who? Anymore picture of that hightop? I like the look of that.

Jed

Mine is the white one, the red one is Keeno's (and is for sale).

The other two belong to a friend of our's ... not sure if he's active on here.

I don't have any more photos of the high top. It's a 16 panel van converted via a Westfalia Joker 2WD donor.

Video footage to follow

Let me know next time you meet up, would be good to meet up with some locals.

Great pics The BCE.

I rather like the idea of the spare being carriede on the front of your van/bus, can you give me any info with regard to where I can buy the thingamajig from?

Thanks chief.

Will do - it was a spur of the moment thing yesterday.

I think it's intended for a 2WD van - puts the impact point further forward, which I'm not keen on (although it has never been a problem). Not sure where they're available from - it was already on the van.

Cheers,

Ben

hopefully i am now "active" ben. although i am not sure which buttons to press yet so we will see.
we all had lots of fun too. we got some good photos and some movies ( can you post movies) and i will put them up or link them when i work out how.

its custom made and on the van when I owned it too you might think of taking the cover off when the weather gets a bit warmer to help cool the rad
