Coming together - RichD, Luna-Sea, Mephisto

[jessef]

Friends working together like clockwork make for some fun times.

I was unable to find time to score a tote so I enlisted Rich's (RichD) services. He went way out of his way and scored some totes on mid friday that seemed impossible to get. Without his negotiating tactics with the tote supplier, this story would have ended right here. The following morning, much too early in the am, Matt (Mephisto) and I hopped on the ferry with trailer in tow behind the shorty Paj and headed to Joe's (Luna-Sea) in Nanaimo.

Joe worked long and hard to get 1000L of filtered wvo in time for me while juggling visiting family and a newborn. Cannot say enough good things about this fellow. In all seriousness, if there was a delica 'ambassador', it should be this man. 100% giving in nature and has delica running in his veins. You can tell by his expression that he loves this stuff. Elbows deep in wvo and delica's. Amazing fellow.

We didn't think the trailer and Paj would fit into the underground parkade at my place but somehow he squeezed it in. There is 2 inches of clearance between the top of the trailer and the water pipes. Some sections of the parkade there is only a few inches between the Pajero and the side walls. Made for an interesting 200 pt turn park job.

Without these guys, this would not have been pulled off.

Cheers my friends.

Hey,

if there was a delica 'ambassador', it should be this man

I think if you were to ask my spouse she would say it is pronounced
"ample bastard".

It was a nice day despite a few hiccups and small spills...

Mephisto's very impressively crafted and cleared side exhaust and rock sliders..

It was nice to hang with the gents for a few hours while we
took care of Jesse's fuel needs for a little while (I hope anyhow!)
I was happy to help out a guy that has helped me and so many others
over the past couple of years.

I really dig that shorty 5-speed pajero of Matt's still trucking after getting
a rollover to boot!

I have been very lucky to meet quite a few characters through delica.ca
and look forward to meeting more as time and busy parenthood permit..


Right On!
