Vanfest 2011 Syncro display

Post by poshbuggers »

Just a message from Mike about the arrangements for vanfest 2011 Syncro display :D

Hello all, it's getting close to that time of the year again and I'd like to put up a post inviting all those coming to the event with Syncros to put your van on display at Vanfest.

Vanfest (http://www.vanfest.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) is now a 3 day event taking place on Sept 9 - 11th at Malvern County Show Ground.

Here are a few shots taken at last years show.

We need as many Syncros for the display as possible and not just T3 Syncros but T4 Syncros and T5 4 Motions too. I have heard that we will have the new T5 Rockton Terock on display...

As well as the new VW Amarok.

VW will be there with some nice new vans and hopefully some important old ones too.

Please contact me at syncro16@hotmail.co.uk if you want to include your Syncro in the display.

As well as the Syncro display, we are trying to organise an offroad trial/display in the main arena on the Saturday. The idea being to show off the capabilites of our Syncros/4 Motions. If you are interested, again please email me at syncro16@hotmail.co.uk

The event runs from Friday to Sunday and we hope to have a good turn out of vehicles for all three days. You'll need to get your vehicle in position first thing each morning and then it's up to you how much you want to display it. Either lock it up and leave so people can have a look around or open it up, chat to everyone about it and make a bigger display of your vehicle and the information about it. Everyone loves a story whether it's the last time you were out greenlaning or what you've done to the van re restoration or modifications.

See you all there and fingers crossed we'll have as good weather this year as we did last year.

It's a Syncro that you take off road. It's not ment to be shiny.I would rather look at a display of Syncros that are used rather than just for show.

I'm sure there will be a few casualties, I could usually do with a stomach pump by six in the morning. :lol:
