Syncronauts and wannabees,

Hi from the Finger Lakes where the trees are just beautiful!

I just spent some time this Sunday cutting the facia
board off the trim around my garage to get my 1989
Syncro Westy in for the winter.  The van fits in with
about two inches to spare.  My garage door is now at
85 inches.

Likewise I park the van in an underground parking at
work and the height limit there is 7' with a big bar
set there to stop you before going in.  My van clears
that without a problem.

Now the previous owner put Goodyear P205/70 14 tires on
this van - they are not the correct tire and I know it.
but when I compared my spare tire - the original Michelin MXL 205/70
14 Reinforced it is about 2 inches
bigger.  I hope that my van will still fit everywhere
when I trash the Goodyears and mount new MXTs.

It is robery - Ask for a kiss with that!

I looked for over 3 years for mine.  Keep looking.
I have a pretty cherry 1989 Syncro Westy GL with
all power and 92K miles which I purchased for
UNDER $US 10,000!

Cheers,

Joel C.

89 "Cinnabar"
