Delicas down under

Post by konadog »

I've been in Adelaide South Australia for about a week now and have only seen 3 L-400's and 1 L-300 :o This is a city of a million people too. LOADS of 2-wheel drive L-300's and as many cab over Hiace and other buses - Mazda and even FORDS! I am surprised, as I was expecting to see LOTS of 3 and 400's... :?

Probably the wrong area for them too Kona, I think they're centered more on the NSW/QLD areas. They love em up there!

You should rent yourself a Wicked camper L400 while you're down there and do some outback cruising. That'd be fun!

Have to second Jaz' comments: I didn't see many of them when I was in Adelaide 10 years ago. Lots of UTEs, especially since Australia is considered to be the 'birthplace' of the vehicle (read more here).

There is a Wicked Camper depot in Adelaide, so you might be able to rent one of our beloved rides, just for ol' time's sake, you know, so you don't forget what Hazel feels like, smells like, how the seat caresses your butto.... never mind.

I think I still miss the Moon Machine...

Hey Doggy,
Have you introduced yourself to the Delica Club in Australia? I mentioned to a couple that you might be coming. Maybe they could hook up with you.

Heya Falco;
I did join that club before I cam here as konasmiles. Pretty sure I signed up over a year ago as konadog but forgot my password. I mentioned I would be heading down here and got a nice welcome! :) Would be happy to meet some deli-heads here for sure!

Happy Day!
