Hello and happy to be here...

Hello everyone, nice to quasi meet you!

I'm new to the Canadian Delica gang as I just bought a 1995 Delica Spacegear, but did have a 1991 Delica Super Exceed when I lived in Australia a few years ago.

Can't wait to go from driving on beaches to driving in snow with the new van, as we will need it for filming a few outdoor scenes for some little Johnny Canuck movies we make in the Kamloops area. If you want to check them out they are at http://www.johnnycanuckfilms.com

We bought our van from Rising Sun Auto Import in Vancouver and were extremely impressed with how they dealt with us, the quality of vans they had for sale and the general honour and respect in purchasing our van. We looked around at private sellers as well as other dealers, and felt Rising Syn was by far the best option...so if you're reading this Rising Sun, you rule! And thanks again for everything.

Our new van has 6 inch lifts and oversized tires, a crystal lite roof, no rust, immaculate interior and even a functioning original japanese mini disc player. We'll post a site with pictures soon and will contribute any knowledge we have ( we have lots from our "white lemon" in Australia which ended in +$5k in repairs in one year, but we still loved it), or updates to our new van as we own it. We are getting a block heater installed soon as well as a trailer hitch.


Thanks and hello again everybody, happy to be a member of such a cool and kind society.

Welcome to Delica Canada, Johnny :M

You could always post pictures of your ride in "Member's Rides". I suspect the terrain is somewhat different here than in Australia. Also, there is a mini meet coming up on the 18th of November in the Lower Mainland where you can meet a diverse blend of Delica & Pajero experiences milling about the lot, if you happen to be in that neck of the woods then.

In the meantime, make yourself at home... smiles.

Falco.

Welcome Johnny C, as a relatively new member myself and new Delica owner, you'll find this site an excellent resource. See you around Kamloops.
Cheers,

Thanks for the welcome and suggestions everyone, and thanks for the video compliments too.

The van is running beautiful Rising Sun, thanks again for all the hard work and mind blowing service, you are rare. I'll post some pictures and list out details and service history with it soon.

Thanks again everyone, happy to have a pet Delica once again!
