Hi,

I live in the Netherlands, and I own an imported US Shinka.

Now i'm 99% sure it's the only one in NL, but I was wondering if there were more Shinka's in Europe?

Anybody knows this?

well, theres good chance your the only one now who has imported one.... BUT in Oct 2009 i will be in Chievres, Belgium with mine

Really?

Are you gonna move there? Or will you go back eventually?

Would be nice to meet up sometime with some others

There's been a few special edition models in England that were essentialy the same as a Shinka, but without the Shinka name. I remember the Evolve, which was offered in either Copper Red or Phantom Blue. Here's a pic:

There was also a Nemesis special edition but I think it only came in AT.

yep

i'm stationed in hawaii now, by september 10th i'll be in honduras(for one year) without the car

then come september/october of 2009 i'll be moving to Chievres, Belgium for 4 years with the car!

I heard from someone that you're required to have headlight cleaners with xenon in Belgium...

Just to warn you

I'm in Belgium now, I wont be here forever, 2-3 years probably. Don't have to have headlight cleaners here, and I have the xenon HIDs already. Do have to have the red rear fog lamp, which i have. And I will have to get a cat to pass inspection in January

Ok great

Would be nice to meet up with you in the Netherlands sometime

btw, maybe it's a good idea to visit the Dutch RX8 club website Belgium doesn't have one.

hehehe, i wish i was as talented as most europeans i have met the last few days... I only speak one lousy language.. i have to start learning

That doesn't really matter, most Dutch and Belgium people speak English as well

Yes, I am beginning to see this
