I'm doing the Syncro Display again this year at Busfest and the Germans are coming over again to do their German syncro Trail Very Happy

All those who are coming to Busfest in a Syncro (T3, T4, T5 or even VW Amarok), we'd love to have your vehicle in the static display so that everyone can look around these great vans.

It doesn't need to be shiney, it doens't need to be special... it just needs to be a Syncro (4 Motion for the T5). Please come and be part of the show.

The added bonus for you is that you get to have your van in the middle of the show. Much better than having it parked miles away in camping etc.

Colway muds I think. Nothing amazing but they work Very Happy

Here's a little video from the display.

A great weekend was had by all.

We had 32 Syncros on display on Sunday I think and a similar number on Saturday.

I didn't have much time to take photos as I was too busy driving a Syncro over skips etc Smile

I'll try to find some more photos.

Very Happy

We had an LT 4X4 this year.

He wanted to take it over the course but it was a little bit big for most of the obstacles.

He walked the skips and made it look easy Smile

I'm looking forward to seeing a video of the Syncro display. It's very different driving it to watching. Laughing

Another couple of videos have turned up, this time of the German Trial on Saturday and of the line up.

The next video needs to change the title to the correct spelling but it's a good video.

Yeah, those are 205x16 Colway Remoulds, copies of the old BFGoodrich Mud Terrains and getting on a bit themselves nowadays, but I figured going for 16s would give me a better choice of sizes (& taller for the gearing with a Scooby lump) Smile
