Low centre of gravity and not carrying the kitchen sink but was very impressive. That said, Roger made the Panda look good too.

Gemma now wants one. All road, not Panda that is.

I'll upload a short video tomorrow.

Sharan syncro has probably got shorter overhangs than both a T3 and an Allroad.... cheaper too, so you can spend a few quid on a lift and tyres!

Super photos!
Hope to make this next year...
I know something was mentioned last year about the green laning and whether high tops would be able to get down the tracks. Or did i dream that?
Would a factory high top (with slightly raised suspension) struggle with anything you guys get up to?
thanks

You'd be fine Bene, whenever there was a lane a high top or a non difflock / bash plate equipped, we skipped ahead and met up as the more capable vans completed that leg.

This sounds unlikely..."Coped" sounds more plausible...

Quattro, three diffs, traction control, auto and 20+ years of AWD progress.
I would believe the claims of "pissed on" for the farmer's favourite estate car.

Well it sounds like you guys all had a great time. I'm sorry to have missed it.

Its also sad that a lot of the photos and videos now go to the Facebook site rather than on here. I don't do Facebook and don't want to as I don't trust it and don't want the exposure that it gives.

I'd really like to see the pics etc and believe that Facebook will really dilute the interest in the club :(

Sorry to moan.

Really looking forward to trying to catch you all at SP. :D

Cheers Rich

New vans are great but they just ain't got no soul!

Ah thats good then! eases my mind... thank you very much... fingers crossed by next year i will have working front and rear difflocks and bash plates fitted, so my only excuse will be the height (and my lack of experience!).
