I giggled too. Operator error did cross my mind. Mind you, we've all been there once and I'm frequently back there. :) :wink:

Heh.
Thing is (excuses coming) syncro don't have a bonnet, so you can see where your going, the Iltis, soon as you get the nose up all you can see is sky and trees.
The syncro makes it easy, you can see where your going and your spoilt with both diff locks, thus hiding a lack of driving talent.
So, my comment stands, Syncro are for gayers as they just work and do everything they are meant to do, the Iltis however needs skill and attention when driving it, something I will readily admit I'm lacking in! :lol:

Same corner in my single cab, same driver.
