Welcome Graham, post up some pics and look around. Lots of great info and folks here.

Welcome to the site, let the modifications begin.

Welcome Graham. You have indeed found the best Astro/Safari site on the web. As you will soon see, these are a bunch of really good people. Congradulations on the "Safari". We Safari owners know they are far superior to the lowly Astro.

Welcome to the site Graham!
ditto Smilies comment, except for the safari uber astro thing. My 'sto just turned 20. another year and it will be legal drinking age, he he he he

Welcome to our little world of vans and some other very strange things that come from one of our northern members. Keep an eye out. You can't miss him,,he'll be wearing a dress riding a bike.

Thanks to one and all on your replys.
Can anyone tell me, if any one knows of a super chip to save on gas and better perfornance.
I have seen them on ebay, price from $8 - $25.
As gas in the UK is 2/3X the price of the US.

he'll have a rifle as well.....

post your question regarding the chip in the engines forum. I have an off the shelf chip. A number of the guys here have custom chips. You'll get multiple responses I'm sure

Hi Derek thank you for your warm welcome from Germany.
my wife and I will one day visit your country and meet you and your family and other van owners.
If you are in the South West of England let us know.

Welcome aboard. Tastey van, mate. Any interior mods?

A British expat friend of mine used to skip school and go down to the Cornwall coast and surf his kayak all day.

My family, The Mathew Stawells, owned Cothelstone Manor of Somerset(in the Quantocks south of Bristol) from 1066 to the late 1700's (when a step daughter finally sold the place #-o ). It barely survived The Cromwell Revolution (I got to hold an actual canonball that Cromwell's troops used on the Manor). (interesting tidbit about "Gun Control" methods of the period: The original drawings I saw of the Manor showed it with a flat, canon baring roof top with ramparts. After Cromwell's troops lobbed canonballs down on the Manor from the hilltops above, (and subsequently won the revolutuion) he would not allow them to rebuild the same way after the war. When I visited the Manor it was gable roofed, unable to defend herself from the hills behind her). The church on the Manor property had just celebrated 800 years of continuous worship just prior to my visit. Incredible history you have in the UK.(Yeah, I know, another frikin Yank rambling on about Great Britain!)

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. I would think a Safari van would be perfect for the wonderfully tight single and dual carriage ways of the UK. Have you taken the van to the Lakes District or hiking up at Gordale Scare? This site loves to see pics of the vans on trips! (Hint hint).

OK. Time to get back to my remodel project. Welcome to ASV.

Cheers.
