Another Calgary-bound deli

I just heard that my deli is supposed to leave Japan tomorrow!!!! Me getting one is entirely Green1's fault. I got to see his, spend time in it, and even drove it. So when he showed me Crusher's website I fell for one he is bringing in. See photo of it at Image

My significant other loving them too made the decision easy. We are currently driving a 91 Chevy Caprice with 250,000 km on it. Known as the Mothership due to its size, it has served well. Although for a big vehicle, it is very small inside -- 28 inches floor to ceiling in the back!

It has been due for replacement for a while, so the deli craze hit at just the right time.

The "Ruminanté" name comes from years ago when we used to go offroading in an 82 Subaru. Came home one day with lots of grass and mud hanging off the front end. A sharp-tongued friend looked at it and asked "How's Ruminante? Did you name it Bossy?" Had to ask to find he was was crossing Don Quixote's horse's name (Rocinante) with ruminant (animals that eat grass). Liked it, so the Subaru was named Ruminanté. I think I'll resurrect the name for the Deli.

Awaiting anxiously

Thanks niekt. As for Green1,
should I take credit? or appologize?
I think both are in order :mrgreen:

So far, delighted with my ride. By the way, for those of you who don't know which is which, mine is the nice one in the photo -- the dark coloured one. My Significant Other is delighted too; she's riding in the back most of the time. Until she gets the cast off her foot, getting in the front seat requires a little step stool, so she lounges in the back instead.
