Subject:WWW.SYNCRO.ORG
From:Steven X. Schwenk

On second thought, the new URLs for
The Syncro Westfalia World Wide Website will be :

www.syncro.org   and  www.syncro.nu

I bought th "nu" url before i found out the "org" domain was
available.
www.syncro.org is the most appropriate domain for the site
because it is a non-commercial site and syncro owners
worldwide are an  ad hoc .org organized through the web, and
through the site.  In addition, the site is much less
vulnerable to attack from vw trademark lawyers since there
are many companies named syncro, it is not a name the
general public associates with vw, and it is an .org instead
of a .com address.  plus it's short and easy to remember.
syncro.org  ... or syncro.nu if you forget.

The .nu address should work by monday, the .org by tuesday.

My thanks go to the following people who contributed toward
the purchase of the urls:

Ty Graham
Peter Buettner
Brent Christensen
Rob Wilke
Dan Flemming  and i forgot one person, I believe.

These guys kicked in $160, with Ty making a large
contribution.  I only had to pay $20 out of pocket to get
both sites for 2 years with web forwarding and e-mail
forwarding, and associated costs.  Thanks, guys!  Now i
won't mind spending a little to get a banner-free syncro
registry and photo-site up and running.  The photo site
allows 50 MGb free space. That's a lot of pictures for tech.
stuff and trip photos, etc.

I want to add content to the site on the following topics:

Wheels (size options, wheel availability and pros/cons)
Tires  (ditto)
Gearing (options available for diff. uses)
Suspension (report on OMEs and Betts springs)
Engine (how to optomize perform w/sacraficing reliability)
FI (troubleshooting and symptoms of component failures)
Headlight relay wiring

If you have e-mails saved on these, or would care to author
a tech piece, please send them or let me know.
Thanks
steve
