Default Moving to Oz from UK...

Hi everyone,

I'm currently over in Sydney from the UK for my wedding.
My Australian wife is keen to move over here and I am too. First thing I've been looking at it the option of importing my S2k.

Prices here seem quite a bit higher than in the UK, and I suspect that I could import my S2k for less than it would cost to sell up and buy another one here.
Its a 2003 in Imola Orange, which would be very rare in Oz. Are there many Imola Orange cars over here?

Here is my baby...

Its also lowered by about 20mm, and that worries me a bit as your kerbs and speed bumps are much bigger than in the UK. How do you all cope?

Any advice welcome, maybe I'll be seeing you soon.....

Alan

If you've owned it for more than 12 months you may be in luck.

Very rare, if you move to sydney you'll get more respect as everyone will think it's a custom colour

Definately bring it over. It'll probably be the only factory imola orange in Australia. Looks great I might add.

Being lowered by 20mm won't be a problem. People have gotten away with much lower cars. Might just want to learn the some techniques on how to get over those really large speed humps safely.
