chopobo,

I believe the ship is actually containing 4000 cars worth AU$160M.

I saw it on the news this morning in my waking up mode so don't quote me on this one.

The ship has also caught fire and they can't put it out coz they can't get to the ship.

yeah sorry

i only caught a glimpse of it last night thought sandra sully said 400

might be 4000

but man if i had a car coming on that boat i would be pissed off:mad:

i guess its one of the risks that happens with importing even though this stuff dun happen very often

There's actually a decent amount of Jap sports cars in Jamaica.....Because there's so many rich americans with houses there & they can get skylines that are alot harder to import into the US so they keep them in Jamaica.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were at least 1 or 2 skylines aboard that ship.

I heard about that too.

My car is on a ship coming over from Japan, I hope mine didn't sink....

The guy getting the car hasn't got back to me lately so maybe he doesn't want to speak to me.

Fingers crossed mine is on another ship.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
