Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

This is not the case as many of you know. The first meet we really had was sort of organized by me, but guess what, i'm a 20 year old guy, i'm not an event planner, nor an organizer, you should see the inside of my van, i'm far from anything organized. My point is, if you have a delica, and want to meet up with other owners, it all starts with an idea.

First, find one other person who is reasonably close that you would like to meet up with, talk to them, ask them if they'd like to meet, then ask if they'd like to invite others as well (who wouldn't)

Next, post it. Let everyone know where you'll be and when, give choices or ask for suggestions if thats more your style.

Then, give some final details, who, what, where, when, how to get there. Make it official so people don't back out because it feels disorganized.

Finally, SHOW UP. thats it, you'll have a blast, meet awesome people, have a few drinks, eat, go 4 wheeling if desired, have some more drinks, camp, talk, fish, eat fish, install wvo systems, break gate locks, drink, eat, sit in hot springs, fell trees, drink, eat and well, you get the idea. Do whatever you want, delica owners are one of a kind. A lot of common interests have brought people to taking the leap of faith of buying these vans, meet a few people and you'll see, its hard not to like someone with a deli.

Good luck, and just do it. You've got nothing to lose, you'll have fun alone, if one person shows up great, you'll have fun together, if more show up, cool, the more the merrier, but remember, just you and your van can have a great time, so don't rely on anyone else to get out there and use it.
