As of tomorrow I will be one of you!
Going to Devon tomorrow to pick up a 1991 Swedish syncro doka!
It's to be used mainly as my new work vehicle in my new gardening business, but once I settle into a work pattern I hope to do some green laning! It's a 2.1 petrol, with a rear diff and a nice simple interior layout. I mainly wanted to have the increased load baring, and also it's my company so I may as well drive what I want to!
I'll stick some pics up after the weekend, and send my application to syncronauts!!

Is it a good idea to become one of us ...... ? A Syncro will empty your wallet quicker than your missus!

Hopefully, after a years search I've found one that'll work for a good while! Plus, as a work vehicle in central London I shall avoid Jed levels of trinketing!

The better half will be with me and absolutely loves the Cali - mind you she did like the Ottinger one at Vanfest so theres hope yet! Either that or I'll have a mad one and trade in my car and get a loan!

Re: As of tomorrow I will be one of you!
An epic weekend journey ending in me owning an awesome van! We even managed to fit in a late afternoon surf in a beautiful sunset.
Huge thanks to samk for driving and for not killing me when I dented the front of his van with a surfboard I swear I'll pay for it to be put right mate!

Re: As of tomorrow I will be one of you!
Good to meet you both in passing on way to collection. Sounds like the van turned out ok and you had a good weekend and got in for a late surf to top it all.
If you need anything then give us a call and keep in contact.
