To the owner of this car, very cool! Bob
Why is that?

We have a friend that buys cars here and ships them to his home(New Zealand) to be sold. He has to have them converted to right side drive though. Not sure if that has to happen here.

Our crash test standards make it hard ( expensive) to bring in a modern non compliant vehicle. Bob

Yours is the best example of a wagon in the country,I also posted several other vehicles as you would have seen.
If you would like the thread removed I will organise a moderator to do so.
Cheers.
Sorry man I kinda thought you were posting it as yours. I'm sorry if you felt that I was making it out that way.

Hopefully the breakages will stop now! What power range are you hoping for with the new turbo?
