Hello from Kazakhstan!

Post by Gorky »

All greetings! I am happy owner of Delica L400 Exeed engine 4M40.
I love to travel and so I chose a highly practical car. I have friends in other countries, in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, who opted for Delica.
I talk in Russian, a little Kazakh, in school studying English ... but this message I am writing with the help of an interpreter :-D
And as they say - NO BORDER COMMUNICATION! "

Glad to meet you, Maxim Gorky.

Hello Maxim:
Thats a nice looking deli in nice looking country. Its great to hear from all over the world how well thought of these
mitsubishi vans are. The internet blows me away, I think its so cool to be in touch with the other side of the world like this. Think of
it 20 years ago our governments probably would have been investigating us for doing this! Dosvidanya.

Добро пожаловать, товарищ Максим Горький! Это имя или псевдоним?
Welcome to the club! Now we have you and the delicaclub.ru admin Vitaly. L400's or 'buns' as Russians call them (opposite to 'briks' - l300's) are new in Canada and local brick owners are very defensive when it comes to discussing and comparing both models. You might be interested in joining the discussion as bricks are rare in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Hello Andy!
Vans Mitsubishi everywhere have their admirers, in Asia, Africa, everywhere!
Yes, you are absolutely right, 20 years ago, it would be a crime. And I am very pleased that communication with the world depends only on ourselves, not from our government!
HURRAY! :o

Best regards.

Hello Steve!
We are young and hot, and if we do not take care about the world around us, nobody will do it for us! Is not it true? :-D
I love nature.
Now we are restoring populations of rare and endangered birds.
I'll fill out my photo album, to me a little difficult to navigate on the site. But, I will lay out photos, as much as possible.

Best regards.

Hello mararmeisto!
Thank you very much! :-)

Hello Sergiy!
Maxim Gorky is part of an alias from a part of the name. We have taken the CIS so if your name is Maxim, then Maxim Gorky. If your name is Alexander, then Alexander Pushkin. Always make fun putting the name of the writer or poet with the same name.
I am sure will take part in the discussion L400 vs L300.

Best regards.

Hello konadog!
Thanks a lot! I am sure I will complete my album photos, just need a little understanding of the orientation on the site. :-)

Best regards.

Hey,
Post more pictures!
Very nice country!
You live in the south east of Kazakhstan?
The background in your picture looks like it will keep you busy for a while!

"Bricks" or "Buns" as long as it's fun!

Are there many people using Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) as fuel there?

Enjoy
Right on! 8-)

They do not use WVO because they do not have it in quality and quantity to utilize as fuel. Canola was cultivated in Canada (this was how it got the name) and thanks to the fast food industry North America has plenty of wasted oil along with other waisted food.

I believe the same thing is called rapeseed in the rest of the world... you'll find many of the UK crowd buying it from the supermarket to pour straight in to the Delicas because it's cheaper than diesel over there!

I just answered the question ahead of Gorky: they have no idea what WVO is. One of the delicaclub.ru members SHERIFF posted a translated Plantdrive article and I answered a few general WVO questions after but that was it. (I am looking around for the vigilant moderators) :?

Hey Gorky

Mind if I ship my motorcycle over there and come for a visit? Such an amazing part of the world.
