Subject: Just like a Vanagon, but modern..

I know it is not Friday but I saw a Nissan Hiace today, driving through town
and it went past my parked Vanagon.   They could be Clones.   Same size and
shape and this Nissan had a cool awning and it looked like a camping
interior.  Right hand drive and diesel.   Good looking modern beastie.
Didn't see the plates.  It looked to me like a modern Vanagon, but
Japanese.   I suppose the US forbids them being owned and registered here,
or we would all have them, I suppose.

  I am going to do some research about those thingys...I owned a Nissan one
time and it was so dependable I never even knew what kinda motor was in
it...Gas and drive...change the oil...and a couple of hundered thousand
miles later, it got smooshed without ever giving me one single problem.  If
I could have a Vanagon-like Nissan...I certainly would be all over it.

   The Nissan Hiace drivers were checking out my Vanagon as they drove
past.....wonder what they were saying to each other?
