Hello from the UK

[Drooper]

Hello all

Just to say hi and introduce myself.

First I'll explain the user name, a friend of mine decided one day at work that I reminded him of Drooper from the bannana splits on account of the fact that I nearly always have sunglasses on due to having eyes that are sensitive to bright light.

Thats that now on to me,

I have been a member of MDOCUK for a while now and when I do searches for all things Delica I keep stumbling upon this site. Never intending on getting on a plane and actually traveling abroad I figured it would be nice to talk to people from a different country, and as my partner is part canadian this seemed like good place to start, especially people with simular interests to me.

I have had my Deli since November and as the sig says she is a SWB L400 exceed with high roof but without any glass in the roof, not even a sunroof. Didnt want it cause i figure that a solid steel roof is less likely to break all over my head!!


Oh and thanks for having me!

Welcome to the site, Drooper ~ I used to love watching that show!

The Space Gear hasn't come out in Canada as of yet, we all drive L-300s ~ mine is a '92 Chamonix.

Hands across the water,

Falco.

Welcome Drooper. I don't know if there's any other members on this site who own an L-400. I could be wrong though, I was wrong once before.

Welcome Drooper!

You are showing your age even remembering Banana Splits... ahhh, the good ol' days...

Spent a bit of time in your neck of the woods... Tetsworth... my uncle owned the Swan Inn there (I tended bar) and I bussed into Oxford every day to walk around and look at the wonderful architecture and walk along the river. Very beautiful... left a lasting impression. It's been a long time now... would love to get back there some day.

Cheers!
Ian

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Now I have two questions.

First why is it that there are no L400S is it simply because you all prefer the 300?


And second how do I get some of those cool club stickers??

[loki]

you can't import a vehicle into Canada that wasn't originally made for this market unless it is at least 15 years old, so we can't get L400s for a little bit yet.

Cheers and Welcome Drooper!

The more the merrier, even if you drive a L400!

As of next year we'll certainly start seeing some L400's arriving on the west coast; Victorian's and Vancouverites love there mall cruisers they don't ever get dirty.

So does that mean then if I was to want to move to canada I would have to wait until next year if I wanted to bring my deli with me?

Dirty Would that be with mud and stuff??

The best way mine never gets dirty, it is very clean! I'll post some pics in the members rides later

Yes welcome indeed! I too grew up with The Banana Splits - not sure if it's a good thing though! Light sensitive eyes eh? Were you ever a welder? I was in my youth, got a few flashes and have been extra sensitive ever since. I confess, I'm a little jealous of you delica drivers pretty much everywhere but North America, and a bit peeved that for whatever reason, we are restricted to 15 year old cast-offs. I sure would love to have acquired Hazel as a 2 or 3 year old pup, or at least have had the option...
