Beautiful British Columbia in the house!

Just wanted to say hi to everyone! I drive a 1991 Astro shorty and have for some 14 years. Bought it with 50,000 miles and now have 120; its's been great! Looking now at purchasing a 1993 AWD CPI for some extra juice since I bought a bigger trailer but that'll be another thread... :)

OMG YOU HAVE A BUG SHIELD TOO?! Yeah I got a '93 AWD CPI Astro. Its great, just bad fuel mileage. But thats only mine. If it was running right, it would get much better mileage.

Nice van by the way! :thumbup:

What's up Everyone

My name is Jimmy out of Portland Or. and I just joined this site but I've been lurking around the here for a while before I made my purchase. My 95 is an AWD conversion van that I'm planning on putting a 2inch lift on and using it as my adventure mobile. I do have the W engine with a little over 204K miles on its, it bought it from the 2nd owner who had all the original paperwork and all the maintenance paperwork since 95.
