Hi All, I brought my syncro after selling a Toyota Echo which was cheap No frills reliable a-b transport. The logical decision was to keep that car And have more money in the bank, fuel savings etc. No regrets buying my Syncro. Yes more expensive but I was just so bored in that car. -Toyota. I sit up high above the traffic. When I drive my kombi I slow down and escape the rat race. They get out of the way or go around! I feel safer and besides I missed the room and versatility of my T2 kombi. I wanted a 4wd. I started looking at The t3 on the net and fell in love with the shape. I wanted something to fit my 9ft longboard in. I
wanted a car to go caming in and take small adventures in. It became an obsession. I looked for months before I brought mine. Prior to the Toyota I had a Type3 wagon. Cool car but just not the same following or community that the Syncro has online. I like the fact that people do weird and wonderful things with/to these vans. It find it interesting.. I have enjoyed the process of making my van fit my requirements! For me these vans are a unique piece of motoring history. A work of art. A Swiss Army knife vehicle which serves many purposes. Emotive yes, practical yes, fun yes, cheap no! Remember the saying - No great dreams were ever built on a budget! On the contrary.. I brought my T2 for $4000 in 1999 sold in 2009 for $9000 In 10 years I
expect/ hope my Syncro will also appreciate similarly.. Regards, Rowan At 6 Dec 2014 6:56:30 am, 'Les Harris' leslieharris@optusnet.com.au [Syncro_T3_Australia]<'Syncro_T3_Australia@yahoogroups.com'> wrote: |
