Whats up Philippines!
 

My first posting! Just showin some love for my kababayans.

musta!? hapi tengs-gibing!

I plan to move to the PI. Anyone know the ballpark cost of shipping the 8 down there?

Sorry to bother. I skimmed through the thread and might have missed it. Are there any 8s in any rental fleets in the Metro Manila area? I'm trying to plan my trip to visit my inlaws once my daughter is old enough to stand an 18 to 24 hour flight (she'll be 1 on Monday) and after having to suffer through renting a Ford Mustang when I was on a trip in the Southwestern US with my wife, I'm determined to try harder than ever to find 8s for rent when I travel. Driving an 8 every day when I'm home has spoiled me!!!

So, how about it? Does anyone know if it's possible to rent an RX-8 in Metro Manila? I'd likewise be interested in knowing if there are any RX-8s for rent in or around Makati.

My wife has already warned me about the traffic, jeepneys, and heinous fuel prices. :)

^The 8 is quite a rarity in the Philippines, so I doubt that there would be any available for rent. Have you driven in Manila before? Take heed, Manila is known to test one's defensive driving skills. :scared:

Shipping a used one? It actually depends if you have connections. Otherwise, it will cost ya. I understand its about the cost of buying another used 8.

But hey, considering how rare it is in the PI... its prolly worth it.

Thanks. After really screwing up my back in a Ford Mustang, I realised I can't take for granted that the seats in a rental are going to fit me properly; but if it isn't possible to rent an 8, then I'll have to come up with a plan B.

My wife has described driving in the Phils as something akin to a cross between a Mad Max film and a Pro Rally. I've not driven there but I'm guessing it's something akin to Manhattan driving during a city-wide power outage.

Worse comes to worse, I might just hire a driver and car. :(

On your first trip, yes - I would say hiring a driver would be a smart thing to do. Imagine this: driving in roads where drivers have no idea what a lane is, pedestrians cross wherever and whenever they please (yes, even on a highway), potholes big enough to make your car jump and worse of all, minor street intersections have no stop or yield signs, its like russian roulette everytime you cross one.
