Hi everybody,

I am oliver born in year 1971 from Neuchâtel in Switzerland.
I bought my first Astro in september 2002 it is a 1993 LT ext Awd.

after 6years using the astro for my restaurant I decided to sell everythink and to keep the astro for traveling in europe.....

Start to work on the van....
for traveling i need (((bass))) :supz: , bed, fridg and space for my montain bike

Image


The bed size is 95cm X 195cm (37.4in X 76.77in)

Image


to save space,i bolted the passenger seat upside down

Image


"Lunch Time" :tonqe:

Image


"my camp" in a Camping :D

Image


me at the begin, ready for a big trip !!!

Image


Astro goes everywhere, on the train..

Image


... on the boat...

Image


on littel mountain road.....

Image


thru tunnel.......Astro goes everywhere...... =D>

Image


I love Alps that turns, turns, and turns

Image


nice place to make camp

Image


slope up to 18%

Image


no more trees up 1800m/ALT(5905feet), is different from the mountains in the USA :usa: . you have trees in the mountain at 2300m/ALT(7500feet)

Image


i am very happy AWD work good :prayer:

welcome!

fantastic pictures!! =D>

It's amazing to see an Astro, especially a vintage one, out of it's normal element.

by the end of the 4 months, you need a shave Oliver .. :yawinkle:
