Our Van

Let's just say the cars in Oki are usually somewhat less than desirable... but we really lucked out with this van!! Chris looked for something like this for months... something to haul people, bikes, dive gear and all sorts of good stuff. It's even a yellow plate since it's fuel efficient. (In Oki we have white plates for 'normal' engine cars and yellow plates for fuel efficient/small engine cars) The van's engine is in the back, the battery is under the passenger seat, and it pretty much sounds like it's going to take off when we go over about 60km/hr. Our van has been involved in many great events: Van parties with the girls (Nicole, Diana, Jill, Lyndsey and Julie), naming Candy, the little dancing hula girl on the dashboard (w/ Mike, Steve and Chris), and loading it up with camping gear to take out to IeJima Island on a ferry with Chris' family! Here are some pics of the infamous van that we wish we could bring back with us to the states!
