Ha ha haaaaa! I just got this email from the NZ land transport authority this morning. Cheers NZ_AJ, looks like you were right! Thanks for planting that seed in my mind...
Hello Kelly,
Thanks for your enquiry in regard to importing your two cars. I advise
as follows :-
* As you have not...
Good thinking to take out all easily pinchable goodies before exporting. I hear so much stuff gets flogged from the docks in NZ and other places. I'll make sure I go and collect the stuff as soon as it arrives in port. I've also got my pilot scale brewery in the shipment, I don't want any o'...
Ta guys, thanks for the support and the advice to go for it. I think it was the right choice. Yeah, I remember that rolling Carlos scene too, it was a beauty! I didn't look like it was gonna stop!
Here she is, complete with 3inch exhaust all the way through, parked outside my house. I had it idling while I was taking the picture and the guy who runs a juku accross the road came over and asked me to switch it off coz it was distracting his students. hehe. Being the nice bloke that I am, I...

Yeah the electronic dartboards should be no sweat, I'll ask Karl (the bar owner where we went drinking in Shizuoka) to tell me how much his one cost and where he got it.
Thanks for the 'import' support. I'm determined to succeed by hook or by...
Well, I'm gonna try to get round this somehow, maybe I'll have to get a bare shell that was registered in the past and spend a month swapping all the gear over. As long as the car has been NZ registered at some point I assume it'll be okay because the chassis number will be on record. Anyway...
Cheers for all your input guys. I suppose the worst case is that I import the car, garage it and take my time restoring it while I wait for the 20 year old car thing law to come into effect (if that is the case: cheers A.J.) and then register it. If it can't be registered then I just have an...
