New member from Gananoque .ON , Canada
Hi all vanners !! I've owned a new or preowned Astro or Safari since they first came out !! At the moment I have a preowned 97 , full load AWD I bought a week ago for 2,600$ , 250k which isn''t bad considering my other 94 has 427k and the only reason I'm retiring it is because of non-motor/drive train issues. Hummm...can't seem to figure out how to post a picture with this.

Welcome! 427k km! Holy crap that's a lot of seat time. Gotta post pics of that. Your best bet for putting pics up is to host them on another site like photobucket.

Hi Crash ! LOL...thefrog is because of the scuba diving and the 747 is for Boeing ! I'll be ice diving here this weekend which is going to be quite different then the Bahamas water I just got out of 2 weeks ago. Gananoque is about 200 or so miles from the PQ border to the east. I'll figure out the picture thingy shortly !!crash wrote:welcome to the site... you'll have to post pics of the new and old vans.. if you have any troubles shoot me a pm and i can help you out
