At last I bought a van, and her name is Esmerelda (for now, at least). That was the name given to, and painted on, the van by the previous owners. I'm thinking I may have to give it an Arkansas touch. Suggestions are welcome.I got it last Thursday evening and hit the road on Friday. I went to a place called Arthur's Pass, a couple of hours outside of Christchurch. I'll post more about that trip later. As you can see it is quite large and I was able to sleep in the back on Friday night. Saturday morning, only for a brief while, I was driving on the right side of the road, and a car in front of me started flashing their lights. So far that's been the only instance of driving on the wrong side of the road.
A few specs on it...it's '93 Mitsubishi L300, 2L Diesel, Manual (stick on the steering column), Driver's side on the right.
I'll post more details of the car later...
