Driving around town today I came across an A2 bodied VW Golf Syncro - jacked
up ~ 6" higher than normal, with  serious 'roo/brush bar assemblys front &
rear, outside rear mounted spare, lotsa extra *big* lights front & rear -
looked like it was all ready for Paris-Dakar !  Anybody have any info ? ?
(& yes I know,where's the Vanagon thread; well, the word Syncro & maybe the
fact that it's water-cooled ? ? ).
