I PM'd Mailman a couple months ago, and didn't get a reply. The van he owns was my "twinkie" a year ago now, and I'm just curious as heck how things are going with it.

If mailman sees this post,...

Haven't been on the forum in months, so it's nice to be back. Wish I had better news....

Really short on details, but here's what's going on.... Sold my immaculate yellow van (Twinkie) last March...

Twinkie is sold! Bittersweet, yes, but I feel it's getting shipped to a good new owner. Thanks to this site, I was able to buy, maintain, and sell the coolest little vehicle I will ever own. Sniff,...

I must sell my van! As rare and perfect as it is, I can't believe I haven't had people knocking down my door. I guess that's why I'm not a used car salesman!

Anyone interested, please make a...

I have my Mitsubishi Minicab for sale in the classified section. It's newer than the van in the link you sent, with the set-forward axle. I'm in Michigan, my van is like new, and relatively close to...

Price reduced to $8650

Price reduced to $9250. This amazing little van needs a new home! Merry Christmas!

Haha, it's funny you ask. If I sell Twinkie I plan on replacing it with an older xB. The Minicab is about 18 inches shorter than the xB, but it has a lot more interior room due to the lack of a long...

I'm sneaky like that :)

Just an FYI, I've listed my van for sale in the classifieds section. Willing to negotiate if anyone is interested.

Happy Holidays!

Here are some more pictures. Also, lets reduce the asking price to $10,000. Thanks!

Ha...ya it's true I guess. I've been too busy to keep a close eye on the forum here, feel like I've been ignoring a close family member!

When I bought Twinkie it was just me and the Wife....now we...

Putting my beloved Twinkie up for sale. It's a 2005 Mitsubishi Minicab Van. I've owned it for 4 years, and before that it was a "Geek Squad" type vehicle in Japan. It's as good as new, in perfect...

Thanks for the info!

Im thinking of putting my '05 Minicab van up for sale. This is probably a dumb question, but do I have to pay the $15 and become an exclusive member to try to sell something? Thanks!

Anyone in Michigan wanna see if this type of thing works?

i love shifting the workload to others, hehehe :)

I guess Bob can answer whether or not they are built "for" mail delivery, or converted into mail deliver vehicles. I'm not a mailman, but why does it make a difference, Jason? To me it's just...

I've never wished I was a mail man so badly! One of those Mail-Mate's with snow tires would blow people's socks off....They could go through a *ton* of snow I'd imagine. 6 inches of clearance is more...

That's not necessarily what I believe I'm running at, I just saw someone else post those numbers....and am hoping I'm no where close to 6000rpm at 80km/h.

I shouldn't be, it doesn't sound nearly...

I'd call the dependability of a mini "great". I'll probably catch some flack for this statement, but I'll consider the dependability of many of Chrysler's (ie.Jeep) recent vehicles downright poor.
...

Other than the issue of finding parts, I can't imagine a downside to using a Kei for a constant stop-and-go job like mail carrying. That little motor would be much happier with all the constant speed...

I have an '06 Mits van, and have the same issue. Would *love* another gear or 2. I do enough slow traveling to make changin' gears not worth it for me, though.

I don't have a tach, and hearing you...

I'll admit I'm a little partial to the kei vans. They stole my heart way back in 2007, and it's been a love affair ever since.

So, any time I see some for sale I like to spread the word. They are...

Dang-ola! That doesn't look cheap! And those sun visors! Ha!

I think that would be out of place here in rural Michigan. But I'd sure love to give it a shot!
