    The USofA. There are a handful here, a few people that jumped through all the hoops to import one from Canada.

    I have ridden in them in several third world countries, they are INCREDIBLE what they can do and how much they can haul--they are bigger on the inside than they are on the outside.

    So, I guess that makes it the TARDIS of vans.

    1991 Chevrolet S-10 4x4, 4.3L rather stock at present
    1985 Chevrolet G20 SportVan
    1991 Ford F-350 SuperCab Dually 7.3 IDI
    1996 Ford Mustang Cobra

    I've got a few projects in the works and I'm here getting ideas.

    Yup. Didn't think anyone would get the transdimensional engineering pun, though...

    They seriously feel like a full size van inside and a minivan outside. Like what a full size synchro would be.
