Got myself a new ride!

So my last Delica is unfortunately no longer with me... I had the chance to go to BC from Ontario and purchase a new one from some lovely folks :)
Me and my friend flew out there and got picked up by another friend in Calgary. He then drove us out of Alberta to have a look at this sweet van. After seeing it, my mind was made up. We did the deal and my buddy and I headed back home. Spent some time in the mountains seeing some sights then a bit more time with my buddy and his wife in Calgary then it was onward home.
Had a great trip, love the new ride, and all I can say is bring on the snow!
Just picked her up and wanted to snap a pic! In BC.
Old in the back. New in the front!
Slept in it on the way back home :) I'm at the back sprawled across the rear seat.
In Wawa at the giant goose!
This Delica is unlike any other I have seen.
It's lifted in Japan by D4 about 7". Big winter tires on her. Clean underbody with minimal spots of red on the frame. Have an appointment to have that fixed up pre winter.
Inside is where it really shines though. There's a DVD player in the center console along with a TV tuner. (Haven't figures that one out yet) and a second screen mounted on the dash above the radio which can be used as GPS (seems to have only a map of Japan..?) And a backup camera. Which is pretty sweet.
Also it has remote power locks and a remote starter that works from about 500 yards away. Lol. Starts and runs exceptionally better than my previous deli by a mile.
Still finding cool new things out about it. But so far Im in love.
