Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Flight now reserved! :D :D :D :D

* Coming out on Thursday 22nd March.

* Heading back on Friday 6th April.

More excited than EVER now! :lol: :lol:

Hi everyone,
I've been watching this thread with great interest, hoping I'd be able to make it out. My work schedule seems to have sorted itself out, so pending confirmation that my folks can take care of my boy for a few days, it looks like I'll be able to attend! Woo-hoo! :D :D :D
Very excited to be able to meet everyone and see some other Delicas, as well as get away from the city for some much needed fresh air and relaxation.
I should be getting my new van a couple weeks before, so hopefully it'll be able to finish the work I want to do on it in time, it would be nice to make this trip it's 'maiden voyage'. :lol:
Bruce, sounds like you have a pretty full itinerary, but if you were able to make it to Calgary, you'd be most welcome to the couch/fridge/beer/etc. and I'd be happy to show you around Calgary and Banff.
I agree with Mitch, 2-way radios would be good to have, essential for the lead and tail vehicles of the convoy. I saw a list of convoy procedures on the Aussie site to ensure everyone is safe and nobody gets left behind. I'll see if we can borrow those.
This is going to be sooo fun!
Cheers,
Jon

will this be a kid friendly event? we have 2 little ones but would like to come..

I'll probably be bringing my wife and 2yr old if other families are coming

I will hopefully have my CB installed by then, and it would be great if one other would have one as well.

Families are definitely welcome, the more the merrier.

My wife won't be able to come because of work, and I'd love to bring my son, but that's a long haul for a two year old without someone else to entertain him while I drive.

Adrock,

What kind of CB? Just wondering if you got a good idea of what you are getting... I will definately have one before then also. Just looking for info on them.

edit... wait, i see. As you can tel li don't know much about them either. I got it a Burnaby Radio though, it has a PA switch as well and hopefully i'll have a speaker instealled. The place is on hastings just a bit east of boundary...

Not everybody has CB's, but if anyone has the small FRS (Family Radio Service) radios available in pairs just about anywhere for $59 plus bucks we could distribute them among vehicles. I have a pair I'll bring along with my radio with logging road channels.

Iwould love to go to delica fest, I also have to little kidlets who I would bring.

Would love to come to your meeting but i'm still looking for a long snorkel :lol: and lots of days off from work so i won't be at your meeting.

Have lots of fun though !

Niek,

That sure would be a long snorkel in order to drive over here... supprised Bruce didn't think of that also. Its a shame we would love you to make it cross the ocean, but I guess there aren't to many fueling stations on the way!

Josh

We could try a "meet in the middle"

A little winterizing, and you might still be able to make the Bering Strait ice-bridge between Kamchatka and Alaska! THAT would be one hell of a trip!
