OK, Awesome site for my need to fix my own :)

Postby tommycat97 [OP] » July 8th 2010, 3:55pm

I bought my 97 Astro from my mom 2 years ago, I am the third owner. We are a family of 8 looking to not yet have to drive a bus model and this fits the bill. I have a utility trailer, hitch rack, and bike rack for it. All this making it my I can do anything, any where, name your time and place :twisted: , vehicle. Many hours have been spent in the fixing/driving of this van, we are now @ 220k :lol: hoping for at least twice that :pray: As I am a drive it like you stole it, even down backroads ( :oops: ) person, (at least this is what hubby calls it) :layrubber: and as we have so many miles, I tend to be doing a lot of work on it lately. I am excited to see this site! I am looking forward to picking some brains for information so I hope you are all ready :D

I will upload pics later I have to switch puters for that :doh:
