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 :D . 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 - http://afrivan.weebly.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
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.

Congratulations Pete & Muna (we had heard from a little bird :wink: ). Get back here quick, I have got a plant job I need your help with.

We've missed you both, honest :D

Those projects are great, well done. :ok That panel work is incredible.

Why did you go there? Did you have any connections to Gambia before?
