Well, she was before I dropped the prop shaft and smased both the oil and water pumps.

She used to jump better than anything I have had, even the Land Rover.

# It's got fuck all ground clearance,
but I out performs my Series 3 and is bloody good in snow and ice.

If you absolutely, positively have to take your entire extended family off-roading then a Delica is your man.

# I'd rather hAve a unimog!
I am currently rebuilding one of these:

Well, I say rebuilding - more 'wanting to rebuild'.

# I had a Mog 404 radiowaggen
the Pinz is much faster and easier to drive, and I fit in it much better. However, the Mog has "Road hugging weight" and the box was handy for camping.

Now the Mog has been backwards converted into a tractor/utility truck on a friend's farm in Nevada - once the box is lifted off it is quite nimble!

But old Split Window VWs are great - always wanted one, but only had later vans.

# Our anniversary is on 21st June.
We always celebrate dawn.

Jim is unhealthily thin too, but she is wearing many clothes!

# I'd concentrate on celebrating your marriage
