Drivers ages...

[thedjjack]

I believe Adrock had one when he was 20 ....

I think it was too much Delica for him so he sold it to me.

It's mainly just for curiosity sake. I believe Adrock had one when he was 20 but I don't know of too many younger people who own them (I'm guessing because of the expense) I also find it very useful to reach out and make new friends and contacts.

Okay... cool! Just thought I'd ask because of security issues in this day and age. So easy to get one's full name and birthdate then before you know it... Call me paranoid.
What I do find on this site is that there is a very high number of very friendly people and that combined with the common interest of Delicas in whatever capacity draws people of all ages together. I helped organize an off-road outing for club members here in Calgary and a lot of us had never met before that day. We had a blast and everyone wanted to do it again - and we will. I do agree tho... haven't met too many younger owners... a few, but not many. It's interesting because the cost is about the same as buying a Yota mudder... maybe that's the difference... agressive mudding versus slow-and-steady expedition-type off-roading - just guessing... In the end it doesn't matter... if you own a Delica, you fit in whether you are 20 or 80

Very true, I definitely don't have a need or a want to know everyone's full details. An average age and vehicle type will quench my thirst. Anything more than that is just icing on the cake.
According to the pole, someone over 86 is driving a Delica too...either that or someone is pulling a fast one and trying to massage the statistics (just like so many higher powers seem to do these days). I'm going to assume that this is true and congratulate said person on their taste in vehicles!

I just bought a 1995 L400 which is not yet "feet dry," but I guess I can participate in the survey.

To keep it interesting, I'll just provide clues. The day I was born...

* Diefenbaker was Prime Minister with a new, majority government
* The Avro Arrow was undergoing flight tests
* Chuck Berry was at the top of the charts, with Eddie Cochran hot on his heels
* Two months plus a day earlier, Jack Teagarden had recorded "Muskrat Ramble" at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver

I, of course, was blissfully unaware of all of that.

Wow, you've seen a lot. What was John A. Macdonald like in real life?

On the day I was born there was a partial solar eclipse, visible in the south Atlantic Ocean.

The cover picture and lead feature in Sky and Telescope that month were the then-under-construction Parkes radio telescope http://www.parkes.atnf.csiro.au/. I visited it in 2002.

I remember watching coverage of Apollo 8 on TV and thinking how much it must suck to be away from home for Christmas.

Helllo!

My name is Zoltan and i was born in February, 1989. (i'm 21 now)
I live in Hungary and i learn industrial design studies right now.


/in Zakopane, Poland/

Well, this is my second L300 van and i really love it. Now i think i do not need any kind of fancy merc or bimmer =)
Girls also love it, until they have to jump up.. if they wanna ride. This is a unique thing in the university's parking lot :)


/current status/

My roof-rack is in progress and i also planning lots of modifications.
Now i raised the ride height and i have side exhaust sys.



I bought my van 2 years ago, and i drive delicas 4 years ago.


/First car and first deli in my life before a day in the wineyard/

Now i have lots of memories about this "thing" and this is a part of me and my life.
