G'day All!

G'day All,

Just found this forum and what a fantastic place to gather information and meet likeminded people!
We have been the owners of a 2002 Finch O/B for the last few years but quickly realised with a growing family that it's not the van for us! Over the weekend we purchased a new 17.56.2 O/B Expanda and can't wait to pick it up later this year and start the planning of our big trip.
Looking forward to chatting with you all and possibly even bumping into one another in our travels!

Cheers,
Andrew

G'day drewy,
Welcome to the group. I like your taste in Expandas

Welcome Drewy and good luck with the waiting game.
I'm still undecided as to whether or not this place makes the wait better or worse....LOL
There is alot of great info to read and pick up on, but at the same time it makes you want your van that much more.

Slowly but surely we read about the members who take posession of their new vans, so in time we'll be reading about your turn (but not before it's my turn, I hope)

Until then, sit back and happy reading...

Dave

Thanks guys,

I've made the other mistake of booking a spot on the factory tour!
I don't normally get this excited about getting a new car, and I love cars! I may have found a new passion!

Welcome drewy!

I found this forum has kept me sane while waiting for our expanda. I love seeing and reading about other owners experiences.

Enjoy.

Welcome aboard, Drewy. Keep picking the brains on the site, there is a wealth of info for old hands and newbies. By the time you get your new van you will have most of your mods planned and designed.

Like going for a holiday, the anticipation and planning is part of the enjoyment.

Gday Drewy, welcome to the forum!!!!

How long is the wait???

The factory tour sounds like fun would like to go one day myself

 

[drewy]

Hi Expanda,

I've just found out that the wait will last until the end of September, a bit better than the November that they originally spoke of!

I enjoy a factory tour and I’m sure this will be no exception!

Welcome drewy, looks like there will be a influx of 17 footers towards the end of the year

Hope they don't rush them all out the door!!

Welcome Drewy, mine rolls of the produduction line on the 17th of AUG but after delivery to Bundy + detailing and extras fitting, pick it up 1st week of SEP. The days are going so slow waiting!!!

 

[drewy]

Na their 17 foot skills will be finely tuned and ours will be perfect. I hope lol! Ours should be ready by the second week of Sept or so. They tell me that the production line is keeping up with demand at the moment and things are arriving on timeish. You'll have to let me know how yours looks when it arrives!

Hope they don't rush them all out the door!!
