Hey everyone, My wife and I bought our Deli at the end of September (it's taken me this long to register) and have loved every minute since. We bought a 1993 White OFFROADEXPRESS from Mardy at Amazing Auto Imports.

Big thanks to EVERYONE who was at the Friday night meet at McDonald's (can't remember exactly when it was, but I think it was the last one...hopefully I didn't miss one).

If you were there you might remember my wife and I (Sandy and Adam) driving up in a Toyota Corolla :-) Everyone was such a big help and answered EVERY question and MORE that we had (we were quite clueless).
It wasn't even a few weeks later that Mardy had the perfect Delica for us to buy.

So EXTRA big thanks goes to Mardy who spent quite a bit of time with us, answered EVERY question that we had and also did EVERYTHING he could to make our buying purchase a pleasant experience (which he did!).

We look forward to all the camping trips, and off roading adventures that we will have with all the other amazing Deli owners. We can't wait for the next meet to show off our new Deli!...see you there!

EDIT: Here are some quick pics of the van in the driveway to show the badge. Sorry about the zoom...my regular lens broke while we were in Italy. And sorry about the quality...I had to make it the worst quality possible so that the website would let me upload them :)

Welcome to the group, and well met. When you leave the Corolla in the driveway on the way to your next Delica-meet, you don't have to kick it in the tires, just walk away. :twisted:

Is yours white-on-white or do you have the black accent around the windows? Do you still have the "OFF ROAD EXPRESS" stickers on the side? Throw up some pictures so we can all ogle your ride. :-D

But I love kicking it in the tires...it makes me feel so good!

Yes, ours has the black accent around the windows, windows are also tinted, so from the side it looks black on top and white on the bottom. Ours didn't come with OFF ROAD EXPRESS stickers on the side :( , but we are thinking about putting the Delica decals on the sides. BUT, ours did come with the OFF ROAD EXPRESS badge on the back which is still there to let the whole world know.

We'll need a shot of that, because OFF ROAD EXPRESS is a magazine, didn't realise it was a model.

Hope to meet you sometime I'm over on the continent.
