Friday the hymee & the whitelines came off.

Saturday it was the RP shifter and some other trinkets.

It's back to stock .... and up for sale!

And it feels naked!

Hoping I get enough to enable a fast repurchase when we land in Sydney but I fear it might be a wee while before i'm rotating again. Spent too much on a bloody house we haven't even seen yet! (bought over the net...isn't technology fun!)

Sure is ugly selling a genuine NZ delivered car when the Jap imports are selling for NZ$28k-35k....not a typo!

Oh well..spose it's all good in some strange cosmic way.

 

<Sensing there is some money to be made from a friend's loss>

Mine is available for $200 a day once you get here Mike!

Just kidding - here's hoping you get a decent price and are back in the saddle again soon.

 

Well... all I have to say is.....

WELCOME HOME!

 

And just think the next Nats you can bring yours

It's tough getting rid of it isn't it Best of luch though replacing it at the earliest possible oppurtunity!

 

I still don't understand why you don't just keep pulling more parts off it and bring the whole lot over here piece by piece... What is the big difference between the NZ edition and the OZ edition anyway??

 

Now that's funny....well if you must know Kiwi version comes with a handy xtra holder....for the mint sauce!!

 

mike, why dont you bring the whole car over?
(im sure you someone have asked this question before)

 

What is the major hurdle of getting the car over... the bloody ADR?

 

nope, im sure being a cousin kiwi, mike should be able to bring it in under personal import..... as long as the 8 has been under his name/registered/insuranced for the past 12 months

 

You mean double purpose lubricant - like a mouthwash for your...

 

Ezzy,

Exchanged a couple of PMs with Paul and he thought I'd probably have problems down the track in terms of resale. Also the tax calc may be a killer. Customs new rules mean your car is valued at "original purchase price", although there is a "valuation" loophole. The former makes it dumb to do the later might work out.

No completely off the table. Am going to check into it a bit further. Need to check insurance as well.

Cheers guys

Mike

 

Typical taking the whole thing downmarket......for your information you use the mint sauce as aftershave and mint jelly as the lubricant

 

Hey, it's where I live.

Hope you manage to work something out with your car <vain attempt to climb up from the pit>.

 

mike, there is a website for ppl wanting to bring cars fron NZ to Oz..... i just cant remember what it is called to save my life atm.... i will look around and it may pop up....
