With acknowledgement to our South African fellow
Syncronauts, here is a slightly paraphrased greeting posted by Gideon
Langart on the SyncroSA site:
Syncro Greetings for the holidays,
Christmas, Hannukah and any others.
May your couplings always be
viscous, may you diffs always lock when needed, may your coolant always stay
cool, may the velocity of your joints always be constant, may your
synchros always mesh, may your Syncro always be upright and always get back home
in one piece (or at least with all the pieces tied on with fencing
wire).
I want to acknowledge all those members who
have posted messages thanking me for establishing and maintaining our
website.
Before I started this site, I was sending out
newsletter, starting about January 04. By mid-year, this had developed
into the Yahoo group that we have today. Early on, I would not have
expected more than 30 or so members, but it continues to expand and is now
heading towards the 200 mark.
I am particularly gratified that we also have a
very active woman owner, our second in fact. Francesca Coles had the worst
possible start - she bought a Syncro with a thoroughly stuffed crownwheel
and pinion - but she is acquiring knowledge at a very rapid rate and making
informed decisions. I suspect that she will soon become one of the
big lights of our group.
Thank you all.
Les
