Hi Andy --

Thanks for popping in to say hi to this side of the world! Great looking van by the way (sadly, we're not allowed to have L400s in Canada yet, due to a 15-year import restriction).

Your Aus site is fantastic -- Aussies and Brits have a much lengthier period of experience with Delicas, and the knowledge base contained on the DelicaClub site keeps alot of our members on the road.

I will PM you with sticker details.

:-D
Mark

Would they tolerate to see me showing up in a Nissan Patrol? My Delica is still waiting to get shipped... Bribie Isl is pretty close, I'm in Coolum Beach. Is there more details of the meet on your site?

Cheers,
David

:-D :-D I was just this minute over on the UK site and had a look at the pics you posted over there. I popped back over here and the first thing I see are the same set of pics. Brilliant! The Aus, the UK and the Canadian sites all linked like that. Thanks for stopping in - I really enjoyed your shots and I'll make a point of visiting you lot down there soon and having a look-see at your Aus. site soon :-D :M

Hi Andy, nice to hear from you. I see you're sorry that you haven't posted in a while ~ well it occurred to me that I haven't posted for a while in Delica Club, perhaps I ought to... smiles. Nice pix, by the way. You have a nice shine on your Deli, I waxed mine not long ago for protection and have now put new "BC pin striping" on her! Branches do that ~ time to cut polish again :| .

Falco.

Greetings and hello!

Quick question: in your second set of photos, why are the arrows on the wrong sides of the road? I thought your roads were backwards-to-ours, or is it ours are backwards-to-yours? Your van's on the correct side, but the road seems to be indicating otherwise...

When I was in Sydney and Adelaide, I seem to remember the cars being on the other side.

well spotted i live on an island and this is where the car barge used to come in the arrows were for the waiting traffic to get on the ferry if we were on the right side of the road it would block the traffic coming off the barge :-D

By "an island", do you mean another one other than "Australia"? Maybe "Tasmania"?

Is Australia an "Island" or a continent? Not the non-existent Great Southern one that was all the rage way back when, but still it is pretty freakin' huge... :-D :M
