    I think the biggest question is, how did you manage to bring in a car that's less than 15 years old? Hoping you'd share the loophole that got your car here .

    There are many of us here that are interested in importing such vehicles, but the 15 year old rule makes it tough hehe.

    2+2 turbo.....very nice. At least you brought over something that didn't exist in this market. I would be doing a double take if I saw that on the road.

    hehe as I suspected... VIN swaps . Be very very careful with the car... u don't want to give the insurance company a reason to dig into the car's history.

    Yeah, that would suck if they found out.

    Must be weird driving a standard on a right hand drive, I don't think I could ever do it.

    you'd think so, but you get real used to it once you get into first gear.

    Its Actually EXTREMELY easy, first couple shifts are fucked, but you get used to it in no time.
