While in Moab, UT this weekend I came across a man from the list who lives
in the L.A. area named John Wessler (I think). He was driving a Vanagon
Syncro on the same "road" I was mt. biking. I took a few pics and put them
on my website:  http://communities.msn.com/BobsPhotoShare
If you go there click on "Pictures" on the left margin, then at the top of
the site, click on the small window (drop-down) and go to page 8. I've never
come across a syncro on that terrain, or anywhere else in the Moab area and
was impressed. It is "stock" except it has a modified front for clearance
and has a 3" lift kit. Too bad I didn't get pics of it going over the 2 to 3
foot drops that it had to go up in order for me to catch it going down. The
most amazing part: John's vehicle may have cost him 12 to 15K, all
inclusive. The other vehicles were primarily German super-offroadies that
usually range in the 40-60K area. Most impressive.
