Introducing ... Big Al!

Well as promised, here's a bit of info about our new (hopefully trusty) steed, 'Big Al'. Despite his mild mannered appearance he is a fully equiped Mitsubishi Delica Exceed 2.5l diesel 4wd monster with 7 seats. These can be folded flat and have a mattress chucked on top for weekend outings. We bought him off an English backpacker who had his surfboard strapped inside on the ceiling and said he just drove right up to the surf across the beach without any problems.

We went up to Porter Heights ski field on Sunday and blasted past all the 2wd's fitting snow chains at the bottom of the hill. Stuck him in '4L' and didn't have a slip the whole way. Hopefully there'll be more big of Big Al's adventures soon.

Hi you two
Like the look of Big Al. I'm hearing in NZ if you register him as a hurse,you can get cheap road tax.Another reason to put the seats down!!
