Wife likes the red Eurovan. And we found (and lost) a place that sells an exterior lift. It tucks neatly below the door, under the van.
We need someone to see if its in decent shape. Only 3 days left, and the holiday prolly won't make it any easier. But, if someone could help... Eurovan Thanks (again) for everyone's help. Attached image(s) |

Dave,
I might be able to look at it, but it would be Saturday at the earliest. I would assume that they are closed on Friday. I am not sure what to look for other than the obvious things. I do not know these vans well. I could vouch for general condition, tires, brakes (if they'll pull a wheel) and how it drives. I might not be much help after that. If you are serious, get their address and phone number and find out when I could see it Saturday AM. I am about 40 minutes from Mailbu. Being Independence Day weekend, traffic will be rough on PCH. Early, like 7:00 AM would be best. Let me know. - Joe |

This red one does look nice.
But I still want the Ziggy Marley Rasta Van. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Hey Dave - Did you get your new chair yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_rolli_1.gif) (Wow that's pretty cool. This smilie's title has your name on it in the HTML code) |

I think its safe to say the van is in decent condition. If they're open Sat. and its not a PITA for you, maybe you could just make sure. BUT, I really need to get a hold of Brad BEFORE we do anything. Anyone know how to reach the a-hole? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Dave,
they are racing tonite, and have to pack the truck and trailer and be out by 9am. So, it's gonna be a long nite. After that, I'm not sure what his plans are, but I know he only carries 1 cell phone battery, so it's never charged. |

Speaking of needing to talk with Brad...if you see him, remind him to call Britain to let me know when to pick him up from the airport tomorrow.

I am in L.A. also though I don't know much about these vans, I could look at it and tell you if it's a shiny POS or not. I e-mailed the seller and asked for an address, phone number and when he was available on Sat. I'll let you know if I hear back from him. If the door handle falls off in my hand, that would be bad, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

QUOTE the van is located at 2120 lincoln bl in the city of santa monica 1blk south of pico bl Dave, Its not too far. I thought it was in Malibu, but it is in Santa Monica, which is a 10 minute ride for me. What time do they open? I'll be sure to check the door handles and bring my digital camera. I have a buddy who just joined this board (Mikester) that lives in Santa Monica. Maybe I'll see if he can come along. Let me know if you want me to take a look. - Joe |

Dave,
I just talked to Lisa. I will call her Saturday and see if I can go see it in the AM. If I hadn't already had two martinis, I would have driven up there now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) If there is anyone else closer, maybe they could see it tonight. Let me know if you get other feedback. - Joe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) |

Shoot...the one day I didn't check the board at lunchtime and I coulda helped with this. That location is barely a mile from my office.
I won't be back down that way until Monday, but lemme know if any follow-up needs to be done next week. Good luck. |

Hi Dave, when I was out checking vans & lifts for you at the beginning I went to a place called Performance Mobility. It does custom work specifically for chair access in whatever vehicle you want. Charlie, the owner & founder of the company is also in a chair so he really knows peoples needs. While talking to him he showed me one of these types of lifts. There are 2 kinds if memory serves. One of them had to do with a chain drive and he mentioned having problems with them if something (I can't remember) wasn't done right. Give Charlie a call and ask him about it. He is a straight person and wouldn't steer ya wrong. Here's the address & phone number.
4347 NW Yeon Avenue Portland, Oregon 97210. Portland Area: (503) 243-2940 . He did a wheelchair lift for my late wife. bruce |
