While having a very slow day fishing this past week I had an idea that I think may have some merit. Most Delica owners expound on all the camping and back road driving they intend to do once they have it 'set up' for camping. If this is the case we should have a vast knowledge of many of the...

Hi IRP and BCD
I agree Horn is a great Lake but if you drive all that way you need try Sapeye, Bluff and especially Middle Lake. Only Sapeye has (easy) lake access and Middle lake access is through gated public property. The area floods most springs and the road can be in rough shape.

I'm not sure if it's just me and a few Delica drivers that I've talked to but it's almost like Husky is still serving Winter diesel. Why they have started selling Winter diesel in the Lower Mainland is beyond me as it never gets to -15°. In around November of...

I am writing this because it seems as though some people believe there is some almighty force that decides when and where meets are happening and that they are just simple delica owners who would love to attend if one were scheduled on a convenient date in their area. This is not the case as many...

We should have more of these more often.

Agreed, in that case, it's up to you to make sure attendance is good! The problem is that even when we hold them every 6 months we still don't always have a great turn-out.

I sold my '93 p25w Jasper in 2015 and bought a 2013 Tesla Model S. I miss the Deli but have never looked back. In 2018 my wife bought a new Tesla Model 3. Haven't paid any maintenance on either (except tires on the S) and the S is still going strong like new with 150,000 Km. Maybe when it dies I'll...

Glad we're back!

It looks like I seized the engine in my L400. Working on it but it might be a parts van.

Sure would like to re-power it with a Tesla powertrain... the perfect combo

Hello all,

My neighbor has a 1996(+/- a year) Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear 2.8 Turbo Diesel, around 100k km, runs well, just needs an out of province inspection in Alberta as its owners are from BC. He wants around $4,000, is this a good buy? I'm 16 y/o and when I get my license I would like to...

Search the forum, there's tons of information.

Depending on what the out of province inspection turns up, the price is decent.
