Purchasing a delica

Hello everyone.

Looking at buying my first Delica this summer and I was wondering in Calgary would be kind enough to let me have a look at their Delica l400.

Just trying to figure out some options as to what I want when I import.

Also, it would be great if I could get some options on a gas engine vs a diesel in a cold climate such as Calgary. I want to go on some semi remote camping trips but no real off roading. I also do a fair amount of highway driving as well. My only concern with the diesel is waiting for it to heat up in the winter.

Thanks!

Have a look at this post for a tech nite in Calgary. Also do a search for the other info you're seeking. It's not easy but most of us search out on DC or google.
Good luck

I am in the same boat.
Ihave been reading this awesome board for a long time, educating myself on options, etc. and am finally ready to pull the trigger. Personally I've decided to look for a gas van.
Have a good idea of what I am looking for, but would appreciate the Tech Session to get more up-close with the Delica.

The Tech night is taking place near the end April...most likely the 25th. Subscribe to the Tech Night thread as I won't post this anywhere else after today.

there are so many Delica owners in Calgary that would certainly benefit from this night as Delica's can be daunting for the un-initiated. Unfortunately Calgary doesn't seem to have the technical expertise that BC currently enjoys so I decided to open my doors and get the gang together...we can't all drive to Richmond and meet at CVI like our BC bethren/sista's can...(lucky buggers!)

So this is the next best thing.
