Well, somewhat ironically I'm actually writing this in Surrey, BC but I live in Portland, OR.

I've had an affinity for Delicas for years, but only recently really thought about buying one. We drove a '93 for a week while in New Zealand in 2016 (see photo above). It belonged to a family member and we fell in love with the thing, so we've been on the lookout for an L300 in good shape with a manual transmission. If you're interested, you could read my story about my first Delica driving experience that I wrote on our blog site Crankshaft Culture.

Growing up, we were a Mitsubishi family. Owned everything from Mirages to Eclipses; an Expo LRV (aka RVR) and Montero Sport. My mother actually just bought a Outlander Sport (again, RVR). I have a soft spot for Mitsus! I even remember being at the dealer in 1990 or so when they had the "Mitsubishi Van." I thought it was so cool that the rear seats swiveled back and forth.

I'm sure I'll be poking around here a lot!
