When I first got it 
First job, brand it!
Then getting the camping electrics and battery charger fitted
Getting ready for it's first camping trip. More roomy than my galaxy!
A few camping snaps
Quick weekend over to Luxembourg
And just slapped some new Alfa wheels on
It's had a busy few months since I bought it. Think it's the most intense time of its life

All the back seats out. Tried various things as a bed. Air mattress is most comfortable but never seem to last more than a few days before leaking air. At the minute we're using a roll out camping mattress and that's plenty good enough. I've got my 12/24/240v cool box, camping stove etc etc. Had curtains up in my last car but not done that in this yet, we've just used cut down windscreen reflective things for now to fit each window. I've got 240 hook up fitted with RCD protection, and hard wired a battery smart charger and just use the existing battery. We don't use it enough to justify the faff of a leisure battery but I'm thinking of putting an hgv battery in place of the standard one. 2 sockets inside the car, possibly going to 4 at some point. I also want to fit a diesel fired heater. Shelving is something I want to do, but it needs to be easily removable and storable at home, because the car needs to be used as a car too

Hi all. Just joined up. I'm a bit of a fraud, I've got a dispatch-ish. With a low roof and extra seats (it's a Citroen synergie). My brother is a member on here (with an actual dispatch) - kenbw2. Seen the forum a fair bit through him, seems a decent bunch of lads and lasses, and I'm told synergie is welcome here 
Was going to get one a few years ago, but ended up on the dark side (galaxy) which does have its merits to be fair, but reliability and computers got i in the way. I'd had enough and wanted to go back to the xud lump so here I am in a synergie. Wanted the 806 version in blue really but beggars can't be choosers and this Burgundy synergie was too good a bargain to pass up on.
Had it a few months now, it's used as our main car, workhorse and temporarily mocked up as a camper for me the wife and the dog to go exploring. I've already fitted the camping electrics with a battery charger wired in, and it's been on its first trip away - 4½ days doing the Scotland north coast 500 - belting trip I couldn't recommend enough! It's taken me and a few mates to Luxembourg for a fag run (and cheeky piss up) and in a week it's taking me the wife and kids (and Ken ) to Spain.
The car is a 1997 R reg, 1.9td xud, it's on 130 something thousand miles (done nearly 10k in it already! 
).
It's barely started it's life with us yet. It will be getting many many car camping trips where we'll live in it for a week, going anywhere (we've randomly ended up in Poland once, as you do).
I'll get some pics thrown up later on 
So yeah.... Hello
