I guess I just don't get the VW van thing..."You will be hard pressed to find a more mechanically solid Syncro at this price." Where this price equals $20k for a non-rv 1987 Syncro. You are cray-cray Portland if you are going to buy this!

Audi rented the track for all of April for testing. I was fortunate enough to listen to them until 10pm Thursday night. I can tell you those R8's are loud! Most days I can't hear the track. Thursday night I could hear it from inside my house.

Saw two of these rolling around the South Island this weekend. It seems pretty low roof compared to the cab height. KC7's how high are the Whistler Creekside parkades? I think these would be pretty good in the snow too...

Windude isn't there some kind of VW jail that you should be sent to just for mentioning the chev/ford fleet vans for sale?

plus that loooong hood line is kind of ugly and adds probably 2 feet to the overall length compared to the more modern designs. I guess they did that so it was easier to work on? Wait...why do they need to make them easy to work on?

Kus I honestly thought there was someone fueling the thing up on the way back from Oregon that year. I made it from Coos Bay to Duncan on one tank. I remember making the turn out to the Coho from the I-5 in the middle of the night hoping to find a gas station. Nothing open, so I just kept going. May...

That is awesome JL! I rented a 2014 Ford van like this for an Oregon trip and it got about 10L/100km. I'm sure you are going to lose a little economy with the upgrades in this, but i bet it isn't as bad as most would think on fuel. This is actually a really good deal assuming it hasn't been beaten up.

Here is my budget minded rig that I picked up a few months back. I'm in the middle of a full conversion into an Adventure Van. Check out the custom rear swing door.

Frdige, Water, Hotwater, Furnace, Solar, seats and sleeps 4...should be great!

I was chasing down a camper van that was an awesome price that I found on Craigslist in Calgary. I emailed them and the story that came back as to why it was so cheap was very entertaining yet believable. I am widow and my husband loved this van and I just want it gone. It is not actually in Calgary...

Xcel for this Dad too. I went to a thinner suit last year because of the new tech. My 5/4/3 is as warm or warmer than my older 6/5/4 was.

you can surf out that way? I'll have to grab a soft top and grow out my mustache and hit the line up.

C36 a pellet stove installation will start in a week in the new to me AV (that is Adventure Van). A wood stove would be crazy! : )
