I remember there was a Syncro highroof ambulance here, it was the ambulance
driver's prime choise in the wintertime. It was so cool for a young guy to
see this one coming through the deep snow, in the wrong side of the road,
blue lights flashing and the wasserboxer going at full steam. Ahh, the
memories of childhood...

The other Ambulances were modified Mercedes 300 TE wagons, not so good in the
winter.
