Pimp my ride.

Many of you have been asking about my van. I'm gonna tell you about it now. I bought my van around the third of April in Christchurch. It's a 1986 Toyota Hiace with a mere 355,000 km on it. Since every good ride needs a name and it didn't have a name when I purchased it, I named her Zelda. Zelda and I go everywhere together. The back seats have been removed and converted to hold a double mattress under which all my stuff is stored. I've been sleeping in it comfortably every night, with the temperature sometimes falling below freezing. Zelda is a five speed with a (left-hand) column shift. Zelda doesn't like to get up early in the morning and neither do I. I love Zelda.
