I've heard about these, they're incredibly hard to get your hands on because everyone wants to turn it into a family-van evo (or they were used for swaps/parts in the original market :( ). Should be fantastic fun.

If someone wanted to get from Orlando to Ocalaish what's the easiest way? Hitchhiking? Uber?

That's roughly 80 miles. Uber or 1 way rental car would be my first choice.
In reply to Wally (Forum Supporter) :
Call an Ocala hotel, ask them if there is a service like Blue Vans or whatever their name is. Basically, call a big hotel in Ocala and ask them how customers arrive/leave to/from Orlando airport
In reply to John Welsh :
Good idea thank you
Some googling show me these guys. Pick up at Orlando Airport to one of 4 Ocala hotels is $49.99. For an extra $15-$30 they will take you to the address of your choice in the Ocala area. For 80 miles, anything under $80 is cheap!
I'd still call the Ocala Hilton and ask for a recommendation.
The misadventure to retrieve the Chariot Resort Runner has begun. The flight down was uneventful, but bumpy. Now I'm waiting for my van out to Chris' in-laws and heading north. How do you all live with this humidity?

Humidity is the worst. Be safe!!
Im jealous Wally! Have fun!
I have no skills, but if I did, this is where I would insert a caricature of Wally as an Anime hero:
You missed nice weather by 1 day. 
Safe travels!!
Humidity is the worst
Yep, had few job assignments in Jacksonville (while living in the CA Bay Area). And you had to change into a 'backup' work shirt after walking from your hotel room to your rental car. I sure don't miss that part of the assignments.
From what I know about the Chariot, it has functional A/C. Good news for Wally. Bad news is it has the JDM stereo, so he's not going to have good tunes for the ride.

Does this mean GRMers need to meet up with him along the route with random cassettes and CDs?

As long as it runs anything else is a bonus.

CD's ,and or Mini-discs
Pick up one of these for phone listening through cassette radio.
He's arrived in FL.
Besides the radio, the speedometer is missing freedom units
Wally, if you're coming near Charlotte NC, let me know. Love to buy you a sammich if the schedule lines up
Wally (Forum Supporter) said:Besides the radio, the speedometer is missing freedom units
100kph is 62mph
125kph is 75 mph
Your phone gps will tell you speed in freedom units
Wally (Forum Supporter) said:Besides the radio, the speedometer is missing freedom units
LOL
Freedom units: brought to us by the King of England and imperialism!
220HP w/manual transmission in that size of SUV doesn't sound like a 'bad decision to me.
UPDATE: Wally has made it to Gainesville!
