G40 BREAKS NORTH AMERICA

[jules]

Heyup Lads hows tricks???

I have Finally got my G here in Canada and all is well ,i have found shell V power to run it on but it is lower octane than ours ..we have had a few cold weeks -27C plus the wind chill ...I will keep you posted on how the G performs out here against some of the big V6 and V8 trucks and cars that should be fun,But there is some nice V dubs here

Catch up with you all later

where did you have it imported from?

[hayesey]

wouldn't Canadians hate you for calling their country north america? haha

-27C doesn't sound like much fun.

Canada is on the continent of north america so factually accurate.

Heyup again
I imported it from england (sunny donny) i was part of the old skool club G40 along with mat hayward and the others,i have had the car 12 years and promised it my son when he,s older so i thought what the hell bring it with us as it is part of the family
(j plate windsor blue)
The weather is cold but the air is dry so -20 dry feels like -5 in england with the damp but when you get down to -25 and lower and its starts freezing your nostrels thats cold   L.O.L   summer will be here soon and you get plus 30c

Hi Jules I remember you, glad you took it with you

[MartinB]

Hey! You sold me a Hella grille a couple of years back now. You have a lovely G, look after her... I'm sure you will!

[jules]

as soon as remember how to get them on i will post some up...ps i will look after it

[tdh-syorks]

surely you must be the only G40 owner on the american continent??

[Alex]

Jules Sanna I take it?

I think I have a pic of your car on my computer somewhere!

Was it much of a pain to import?

[NeilG40]

surely you must be the only G40 owner on the american continent??

There was a guy (might have been German) way back on the old mailing list that lived in America with a G60'd car.

It was,nt to bad to get it here firstly shipping it ,it went in the container with all my furniture,then when it gets here it has to have a border inspection to make sure its clean and not contaminated with dirt otherwise they charge for cleaning it...then we have to have a customs interview and they check all the paper work is all ok....then register it which cost $70 for the year but that includes road tax ....take your uk licience to the register office which are on every corner give them $17 and take an eye test and they give you a canadian one ...job done
insurance i am sorting at the minute but they reckon $300 for the year
they m.o.t there cars every 10 years so there is a few knackers on the road
V power is $1.oo or 60p a litre
 
its a bit cheaper than the uk l.o.l the motorist in the uk is a mobile cash machine for the tax grabbing government...
