Hi maxextz
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 start a new thread for the documented journey add a little info for each town or what ever your traversing through, so we can all enjoy your progress through the Great Southern Land down under. Take your water wings you may need them for the Sprinter.
Photos will self load as you progress on a single thread it may take longer to load,this depends on your internet speed, and which program-plan. you took out with your IP provider .

Cheers Richard

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

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
