I would like to share a short story of syncro misadventure.
Broken down in the middle of nowhere ? Perhaps stuck in a sand dune ?
Blown a head gasket ?
No no no.
Had the old girl at the mechanics for a 10000 k service. The phone rings. "Your car's ready, there's a small problem. The handbrake came off and it rolled down the hill and smashed the building next door. Not much damage to the syncro but !"
With trepidation I made it to the mechanic to discover a very damaged brick building and a slightly bent roo bar and bumper frame on the syncro.
Moral of the story : make sure your mechanic is fully insured !
I should get a new roo bar and a bit of rust removal out of the incident. All in all a bit of a win :)
