Yahhhhhhhhhh got delivery of the van today


Hiya All,

I got delivery of the van yesterday ...............what a great feeling.

She's not new (1988) but I left the pop top up overnight to see how she took to the horrid weather we have been having in Adelaide the last few days (very bad winds and heavy rains) but she pulled up great.

No leaks..............not even a creak or or groan (unlike her owner!!!!!!!!)

I had a few friends and family around to Christian her today and it's amazing how many people you can fit into a 13` van when it's raining!!!!!!!!  All agreed she was a good buy...........(aside from the necessary woman's touches which are in the pipe line).

So it's onwards and upwards from here................as a good friend once said to me "Baby Steps..............and it all turns into a huge stride".............it's a very apt saying in this case I think

Cheers & Keep Smiling smile

goodonya mate, our first van was an 88 model poptop and we got the same for it when we sold it three years later as we paid for it. and that allowed us to buy what we have now.
You will have lots of great adventures - enjoy
