I will bet you Hanks know little about the Syncro and somehow bought it from Gowesty with his disposable income.

Hmmm , maybe I am him, haha Shocked

I heard that he is getting into character for his new movie The Vanagons of Pahrump, Nevada.
He plays the bad guy. Twisted Evil

Either that or "get a Bentley"


Probably locked his thread because his question was asked on page 322.

now now no need to slag the guy or gal who paid $110K for a Westy.

I use that to my advantage on my wife.

"You know that these things can sell in the $100K range, not much different than mine!!!"

We can also now add a celebrity opinion to the age old debate. Tom Hanks says its a bus.

Well, he may have called it a bus, but he also referred to it as a car and didn't even know what decade his particular model was made in. If you were to judge by his level of ignorance, you would have to go with van, over bus.
