FOUND 16" Westfalia Syncro, The Unicorn now with pics
While chasing leprechauns yesterday, on St Patricks day, one lead me to the end of the rainbow in the wilds of the west of Ireland where I found The Unicorn. As Unicorns like horses she followed me home
She is a 1989 rustfree 16" Hightop Westfalia Joker with approx 110,000km (68,000 miles) on her originally bought by a rich german who brought her to Nepal and then to Ireland where she was dry stored with a dehumidifier until recently more to follow ......

Nice one Paul, when you convert to 14" as you suggested to me, can I have first dibs on the 16" parts

Listen here you lot ..... apparently this is a complete minter so we all must encourage Paul to get someone else to work on it otherwise it will be fecked up in no time. Look at everything else he has touched ...... I mean have you ever seen him turn up anywhere not covered in oil with a bit of Syncro in his hand?

If its white 16" and has twin square headlights then it has to come to me. Those are the rules.
