The Watagan Mountains syncro Discovery Tour 2011

1
I'm pleased to report the successful conclusion of this Tour today. Methinks a good time was had by all.
Again may I thank all syncro participants for your enthusiasm, conviviality throughout and permitting me to lead so you guys could all eat my dust for the duration.
Nice being up the front guys!
Also big thanks to the syncro beasts ... they performed in fine fashion. Nice to experience their awesome capabilities.
Lets go places again ok ..... sometime soon! 

Nice to see we weren't missed here!

Cheers.

Ken,

Graham let this little adventure slip when I was around there last Friday as I was killing time waiting for the wedding party at a wedding I did in my 71 deluxe bus as the wedding was just up the street from him (literally 10 houses away).

Next time you need to invite the syncro nutters with baggage like wives and kids along.

We would have fun too.

Cheers,

Skot

Thanks Ken,  an incredible event you staged ! Very well done ! To be in company of those great adventurers is a great privilege indeed, I have taken home so much especially that very little can be in the way of a Syncro (noun).

Scott,

Next time would be the same criteria i.e., for keen syncro nutters available during a Mon-Fri work week time-slot. Is that you?

If I have missed anyone, I apologise. For future Tours, please pm me now. Ta.

I'd also love to hear from anyone else keen to organise a similar criteria Tour to wherever. I'll gladly eat your dust! Include me please on your likely list.

Cheers.

Hartmut,
Thanks for coming. Come again please!

re "Syncro (noun)".
Last time I looked, front and rear badges say "syncro". They do not say "Syncro". About half of original authentic VW syncro doccos I have seen say "syncro" throughout. So I've grown used to and like what I've seen and hence I'm more than content using "syncro". In any Australian linguistic context or contest, any need for "Syncro" is wasted on me.

Long live T3 syncro Transporter!

Cheers.

Ken,

Btw , in german the vehicle is masculine, i.e. DER Transorter  and DER Syncro , and DER Bulli. 

The mid-week event suited me well and really, how many other vehicles have we come across ? If we count in the park cleaner , I  think there were 3  others, that Peugeot loner type and that lot who free loaded that folding table into their car, which might have belonged to the road gang...

Ken,

Unfortunately not.

Working week is usually a problem although I can often tack a Friday or a Monday onto a weekend if I plan it well enough.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers,

Hi Ken
Thanks for organising and leading the inaugural Watagan Mountains syncro Discovery Tour.
Tours are not easy to organise as all sorts of thing crop up unnexpectedly.
In just three days the four of us found ourselves in stunning campsites with vast panoramic views, we scaled near vertical pathways to the base of a waterfall cascading over a 150 foot semicircular rock face and swam and showered in the resulting deluge and pool. You found lots of money and we found lots of leeches.
The campfires burned hot , we got covered in dust and the syncros never faltered but after a night of rain and more to come, we headed home.
My comment as we headed back to civilisation was " How about we turn around and go back up " said it all.
Grey nomads,midweek trips and syncros rule.

Thanks Ken
Graham

Les,

I think 'zero' comes in caps.
Betting VW marketing materials use caps in many places. Just a hunch.

Forgot to mention the comparison to my fruitPhone. It wouldn't be so catchy if it was written as Fruitphone. Look at evilBay. It just looks so ordinary written as Evilbay. My supposedly grammatically infallible fruitPhone, correct, spellings as FruitPhone and EvilBay, respectively. Since it has been trained via fuzzy logic to my stylistic preference, it writes my favorite name as: Syncro

Are you 'capitalising' on the fact that English is my second language? It might be a noun but is it a proper one at that? I assume you capitalised because it is at the beginning of the sentence. Or did you mean it as a proper noun.

"George was the official transporter of for the Alioto Fish Company. He would often use his Volkswagen Transporter to do double duty delivering fish and transporting tourist as well. Unfortunately, the odor of his former cargo proliferated every nook and cranny of his beloved T3."

Sump'in like that...

Not still going on about upper case v lower case and the syntactic properties of S/syncros? I'm an editor, but even I am struggling to keep up with the evolving debate. Perhaps someone should write a thesis on the topic? And I am not volunteering....

Oh well, must mean our beasts are going well if we have time to devote to such stylistic niceties!

A s/Syncro by any other name would still roll as sweet.

Francesca.

German, not English.

In German all nouns start with capitals, proper or common.

Francesca,

By the time the thesis was finished, several more truckloads of kiddywinkie spelling examples would have appeared on the scene and the thesis would be outdated and redundant.

Someone mentioned predictive functions – another kiddywinkie manifestation that I absolutely abhor.   It took ages for me to find how to turn off the predictive text function on my mobile phone – it came with predictive as the default function.

Now Google has gone the same way with their predictive search!

Not still going on about upper case v lower case and the syntactic properties of S/syncros? I'm an editor, but even I am struggling to keep up with the evolving debate. Perhaps someone should write a thesis on the topic? And I am not volunteering.... 

Oh well, must mean our beasts are going well if we have time to devote to such stylistic niceties! 

A s/Syncro by any other name would still roll as sweet.

Francesca.

Clever fellows, those Germans. They picked a name that translates and spells the same in English. So then caps it is. Who's arguing? Don't call me Unncle.;-)
