Just checking in to introduce myself.
Have owned a couple of VWs over my lifetime started of with a passat 3 door! Current daily driver is a 65 Bulli custom camper that I restored over 3 years. Just bought a Syncro that is currently in Capetown while I am living in Florida, Florida USA! My wife is of the opinion that I did not think that purchase through but I intend to prove her wrong when I pick it up in March. Anybody need anything from the States let me know. Ja ek praat ook afrikaans. |

When you started talking about CT I was leaning towards Florida in Jhb. ![]() Hope you enjoy it here and remember that all newbies are now required to post pics of their Syncro's otherwise their membership of SyncroSA might be cancelled. (Dean, have we implemeted that policy yet?) ![]() PS How big is your suitcase? I am after a set of truck mirrors from GoWesty for my white bus. Hint, hint. ![]() ![]() Life's a journey, not a race. Enjoy it. |

Like I said I have not actually seen it in person but based on the many pics I got it looked like an opportunity that I just could not pass up.

RE: Noobie van Florida
Very nice Syncro that. I saw it advertised on Gumtree for a while. I think the price scared most people but it is a good buy. I don't think you can build one like that from scratch for that money.
Don't worry about the mirrors. It looks like Syncromad has organised that someone else bring them for me from USA. ![]() Life's a journey, not a race. Enjoy it. |

I don't think you can build one like that from scratch for that money. Yes everybody that was involved in the purchase (family in the VW business) thought I was crazy! The syncro just looked so well taken care of, and compared to what they cost this side (there is currently one on the samba with an asking price of over $70,000 and gowesty sold some north of $90,000!) it was a no brainer. The fact that the exchange rate is what is did not hurt either ![]() No sweat on the mirrors if anybody needs something just holler I will be heading to SA around the second week in March.
