Its a 5 speed auto, the current owner has done all the hard work all I gotta do is maintain and enjoy. The things in the airvents I think where some warning lights were and the things on the mirror are extra indicators.A few more pics to go on with. I have only seen the vehicle from photos so there is a leap of faith, I believe there is still room to have faith in fellow man, not everyone is out there to shaft us ![]() I will be heading east next week to drive her across country about 3900 ks, looking forwad to the journey. As I plan to document my journey with pics, any advise on how to put it on the forum would be appreciated, posting 100's of pic's in thread would seem like a mission. So all you computer gurus teach me something new. Cheers Kappy |

Kappy, welcome to the top of the slippery slope. That van looks like a good'un, and with plenty of toys already installed.
Looking forwards to hearing your account of the trip home. |

No that I counting or anything,I can't wait to take possession of my new Sprinter in fact it's only 112 hours and 7 minutes not allowing for DST.
![]() Not that I counting. ![]() To keeps me busy and take my mind of 112 hours and 4 minutes I will be assisting my brother in law with sheep shearing for 30 hours of the next 112 hours and 3 minutes not that I counting. I pretty level headed most of the time expect for the 82 hours that I need to occupy my mind, not that I counting you see. I guess all you emotionally mature gents out there probably can't see where I'm coming from.... ![]() Cheers Kappy Last edited by kappy5003; 01-09-2011 at 06:07 AM. Reason: duplication |

Well it's official I 'm the proud owner of my new sprinter.
Landed in Sydney at 0700 after catching the midnight ratter from Perth. After completing some legal aspects with change of ownership I headed west from suburban Sydney around 1400. So heald up at Bathhurst for the evening in the lap of luxury, after putting the sprinter though a lap of Mt Panorama. My 1st time near Lithgow.JPG Mount Panorama.JPG going up the mountain.JPG oops.JPG pitstop.JPG More to follow early start in morning Cheers Kappy |
