Want to buy!!

Don't let low numbers on the odometer sell you on a bus. There are far more important issues at play when getting a deli. Low kms mean that either the bus has been sitting at idle in city traffic for years, or worse it has simply been rotting, neglected and under used in someone's driveway. Far better to get one that has been driven and maintained - and no matter what its past life or condition when it arrives from Japan, it needs a refit - timing belt, tensioners etc. etc. Good luck with the hunt - will be watching for pictures of the one you end up with

Ok! I will keep that in mind, while I am out hunting.
I will post a pic if we find one

Thanks konadog

Well... back at work now. We had a great trip out to the coast. Met with many Deli owners, sat in a lot of Vans, and had all our questions and concerns answered We gave Mardy our deposit, and are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Deli! Wow! can't wait to see it!

Thanks everyone!

Congrats Jason! See you at the next meet. What colour did you get?

[cinjay]

On hold is a Blue/Grey Feb. 1994 Delica Super Exceed with 93,000kms. Mardy sent me a couple of pics(Cant figure out how to post them though ). Looks like it has some wheel well flares, and of course " Top of the line " as Mardy would say. Cant wait to look at it in person.

Talked to Mardy yesterday, and the Delica didn't make it on the boat this time Hopefully it will be on the next one. It's due to arrive the first to second week of May. Not too far off. I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Congats. You will be delighted. I would, however, suggest you not put too much stock in when it gets here. Mine was several months late. Spaces on ships and containers have a habit of suddenly being unavailable. But it will arrive, you can count on that.

Hooraay

It's on the boat, and on it's way across the pond.
Just heard the good news from Mardy.

[cinjay]

I decided to book tickets out to Vancouver. I was going to wait until the Deli was actually in Vancouver, (12th of May) but I could not resist the $50 seat sale We will arrive on the 4th of June. We are hoping that the Deli arrives on time, and Mardy will be able to get the work done. (I am keeping my fingers crossed) If everything works out we will drive around for the rest of the day, and then hit the road the next morning. I think the only thing that I might need help with is the car seat anchors. I won’t have any tools to attach them with when I am in Vancouver. I will see if Mardy can help out.

[cinjay]

Well… The Deli is now here in Canada safe and sound. It went through customs last week, and is now in Mardy’s capable hands All plans are a go for us to pick it up on the 4th of June. Can’t wait

[Erebus]

Sweet You'll have to have a show-and-tell for us all when you get back to Calgary. Enjoy the trip!

[cinjay]

Yes. I even see that there is another Calgary couple that just acquired a Deli (Joanne & Tim). When we get back it would be nice to get together for a show and tell.

Jason

[cinjay]

Well... It has been a little bit of a wait, but the week is finaly upon us to head out to Vancouver to Pick up the Deli I just wanted to see if anybody needs parts/supplies transported from the coast to Calgary.

[Erebus]

Can't think of any parts at the moment ... but I'll let you know after you get back what I needed
