Just a quick post to say Hi to everyone and that all is well. Muna has a full time paid job with the Medical research council and I have been fixing eveything from outboard motors to borehole drilling rigs. I have had a little spare time as well to mess around with vw vans. Just bought a syncro gearbox, prop and diff for a hundred quid

. Having a fantastic time in the sunshine and will be back at the end of may for around 6 months (could have something to do with munas swelling stomach). Have a look at this website, however its only in its infancy -

Enjoy
Pete and muna.

Great to hear from you Pete, and congrats to you both ! You really seem to have made a good life in Gambia. Hope you can make it to a Syncro meet or two whilst you're over here.

). Get back here quick, I have got a plant job I need your help with.
We've missed you both, honest

Those projects are great, well done.

That panel work is incredible.
Why did you go there? Did you have any connections to Gambia before?
