Hello from Ontario, soon to be a VanIslander

Hello all..

I don't yet have my first Delica, but I was on VanIsle last week in preparation for my forthcoming move to Comox. I was already familiar with them, as there's at least one in this area. But on the Island, they seem to be everywhere! I have totally fallen in love with them, as they seem to be a very durable, flexible and practical little truck. My current ride is going to expire soon after I arrive, and I'll be looking for new way to get around, and a Delica would seem to be about as west-coastish as one can get. I'll be having a good look around this place, and I'll have questions.

In fact, the first one popped into my head...what on earth is meant by the Crystal Lite roof?

Crystal Lite Roof is a high roof model that has four window panels on the ceiling of the van (kinda like sunroofs) that have shades that open and close. One of the coolest roofs around. Might get hot in the (short) summer.

I'm always crossing my fingers for another GTA Delica, not to be this time I guess!!

I swear I've seen at least one cruising around the Trenton area.

One month to go before we set off!

In just under five weeks, I take up residence on the Island, and I can finally start looking for the perfect Delica. I am so looking forward to it.

How exciting, making such a big move ! We just bought our Delica last week and loooooove it to bits ! Good luck on your move out west and hunt for the Delica that best suits you!

Looks like we're now neighbours, and we'll soon be driving similar vehicles. My ride-to-be, sitting at CCA getting brought up to their high standards, is also a 1998 Chamonix.

@ Macro: I did confirm that other Deli in the Trenton area. A gentleman in Bloomfield, in Prince Edward County, was driving an L300.
