Club 80-90 Forums

Just want to give a massive thanks to Si, Tomanytoys and Oorwullie.

Most of you know V-lux Al, well he got his van done over in the French Alps a couple of days ago. The scumbags nicked a few choice items as well as smashing his cab windows and bent his windscreen wipers and leaving him with a very cold van. He asked me to find him a solution so Si was the obvious choice with his french contacts who then put me onto Oorwullie, who knows a place 100km away that turns out can deliver for a couple of Euro.

So, windows are on their way to him as I type and all has ended well and Al & Harriet can carry on their merry way well into the new year through the help of fellow Syncronauts.

Thanks Guys

That's a terrible thing to happen but its great to hear that like minded individuals will pull together to help out. Wherever and whenever. Good work all involved, long may it continue .

good news jed. was hoping someone close could help out.

Top effort. Its like one big family. Well done those who helped and well done for organising

Good news, still amazes me, the amount of helpful people around

Glad Al is now sorted after some scum bag broke in and nicked some stuff and coloured the inside.

Looking forward the the write up when he gets back. Sounds like a really good trip uptil now, but hope they both have a good christmas and get back to blighty safe and sound.

Name and shame the French resort in question

I will do a better write up when i get back, but for now here's a few pics of what the van looked like the morning after....

The resort in question here is Serre Chevalier, but i would like to say that its my hunch that whoever did it wasn't from the resort itself. Turns out a load of other cars around the village all had their wing mirrors torn off, don't think any others were ransacked, but then they probably couldn't carry much else after emptying the van. Couldnt even carry the alcohol, they left that in the snow.

Best bet is that it was no hope, chav scum teens from Briançon out on a drunken bender. I'm a believer in karma so i'm sure they'll get what's coming to them eventually.

The trip so far has been amazing and to be honest, even this happening hasn't put a downer on it. We are both fine and having a right laugh regardless.

Massive thanks to everyone involved in helping us find somewhere to get the glass, its a very reassuring feeling knowing that even when far far from home there's always help not too far away. Harriet has asked me to express her personal thanks to you all and I owe you all a beer or ten. Really, we don't know how to thank you all enough.

Oorwullie, you never know, i 'might' even pop by and take that towbar off you......if i'm not completely skint by the time we leave here. Ive been eyeing it up on a few occasions

Toomanytoys, thanks for your messages etc, and making the connection that solved things, much appreciated!

Terrible thing to happen when away on vacation, but very reassuring that 80-90 members pulled together in your time of need. Its like one big happy family here, and Im honored to be apart of it too

glad to hear that's working out for you.

here's my mobile no. if yer passing this way:

0041 79 243 08 33 ( i don't usually answer it before about 1 pm............ )

at the moment you will need a syncro to drive into my yard.

You'd need a syncro to drive to my van right now too. We've had about another 40cm since this pic from this morning!!

Shanty town.
