i can't believe how cheap all that stuff is, so much cheaper to run a car!  mot once every ten years is crazy though, there must be some right death traps driving about.  I guess that'll be the only g40 in canada and possibly all of america?

They dont have MOT's at all in South Australia or Victoria in Oz. I find that amazing but then they dont have salt etc eating away at brake pipes etc but still.....

What i find here is that a lot of car manufacturers use stainless stuff ie toyota tacoma 4 x 4 have stainless exhausts and i think break pipes which has you all know last alot longer

most mk2 golfs in germany came with stainless exhausts all that time ago. cars aimed at the uk have a 3-5 year life span.

i think i saw this car last year at elsecar,it was a very tidy clean example, i asked where you got the rear lights from, it was very well looked after, i suppose if your going to export a G40 it should be a mint one.
