Ok, you lot, please cool it.
Yes, this is a Syncro T3 site but we have members
who do not actually own a Syncro. I get membership applications from
people who want to acquire one and I am happy to have them as members.
Brian has a Syncro T3; if he sells it, I am also happy for him to stay on the
list. Off-topics can sometimes be entertaining but I abhor the slanging
matches that occur all too often on some of the US sites. I hope it never
happens on our Australian site and will be heavily jumped on if it
does.
My personal liking of the Syncro T3 stems from
its excellent chassis dynamics and its ability to go just about anywhere in
great comfort and security. (Since my name is not Sabine Schmitt, I
preference stays with the basic rear engine / rear drive, as opposed to front
engine / front drive.) Add the Trakka conversion and the comfort extends
to overnight stops with hot shower, gas cooking and a very comfortable
bed. I sleep upstairs in mine after having installed heavy duty, pull-out
bed slats, using a self inflating mattress.
The T5 Trakkadu is getting towards the Winnebago
end of the spectrum, so I will be interested to hear from Brian how it
compares. I would hope such comparison takes into account the 10:1 price
differential.
For the benefit of newer members, the switch from
open membership to needing approval to join the list was because
of the increasing number of fraudulent members
(spammers) that we were getting. This is affecting groups around
the world. The US Subaruvanagon site was getting hit badly.
After I told the site owner that he could filter applications and what to look
for, he switched to 'approval required' and stopped it dead.

So Les, do what you do best please and lay down the law ... last time I
looked, this forum is clearly named Syncro T3, very much in keeping with
the mission statement.
A glaring case of "off topic"?
