Thanks for the trip report Malcom, we need more of these! A Dehler/Bostig
Syncro 16 sounds like a dream machine to me.

For the benefit of US listees it should be noted that your fuel economy
figures are translated to Imperial gallons. Your average works out to about
19 US mpg which is excellent (same as my passenger Syncro).
