Now, T25s are getting a repuation for being ‘all that’ off road, so I thought I’d better check to see what these here Golf Syncros are like off road.

SO, I saw this really impressive video of a Discovery going this REALLY steep bank at Coney Farm:

and I thought to myself ‘h’mmmm, we’ll be there soon…… I wonder…..

Before I lowered and decided that I was going to keep my syncro, I did hundreds of miles off road down tracks through woods in deep mud in the wet on cheep road tyres and NEVER even nearly got stuck, it still amazes me how much traction they get. hence I kept the beast. If only i could get a good drive in the snow every time it’s snowed the syncros been of the road!!
