Just not sure what auto.
Was looking at the "hot hatch" thread. Interesting the Fiat. On Veho I noticed, while looking at 5dr focus,the 3dr wiht the large engine is no longer listed. Not sure what happened to them, mabye they are all sold.
Glad to hear you guys found something really nice. Do you mean to say Finland allows you to import one vehicle tax free from overseas? You should just take the S2000 for when you decide to move back for good.

As far as Hot hatches go, I still think you will find better versions in Europe. Come to think of it, you will find better versions of most cars there than here unless, you wanted to purchase something like the Ford F-150 Raptor or a muscle car.

um i want to move there too.
Me too, even though the road seems rather narrow. While watching I was wondering why everyone was at home and not out driving?

Thanks for this link. Didn't look at those pictures but did look at the Ring pictures. VERY nice. Lots of Great cars. Even saw mustangs and a volvo, had a 65 K code and a 60 544 in the 60s. Makes me want to visit the Saratoga M to see the 8c after looking at the older cars.

Aashish, wife thinks i should bring a toy but I will get more use out of the S2000 over here, more top down this side of the pond. It is possible that buying a second one to use for a few years and sell might happen. Lights are the big issue to change to make an auto pass inspection after import. I have never seen an S for sale there so I've no idea what they go for but for sure they will be at least 150% more than here because of the tax. There is a window next year for me to import tax free and I would like to take advantage of that. Why i mentioned the focus is the cars imported new are sold to the dealer at a lower price before tax because the tax rate is SO high no one would buy. If one could buy there and not pay the tax because it was exported that would be a cheap way to get the Euro auto.

Working to get the MGA ready, but took a moment to get into the S and stared her up.

It is still a very, very nice car!

Morning All

I was in Chicago for all of last week. Good to be back home, I just wish it was starting to feel more like spring.

all!

Not much of a weekend, spent all of it working on the house. I learned that red is a PITA to paint a room with - it shows damn near every brush stroke.

Signed up for the motorcycle course, now I have to go take the test to get my permit. I was hoping to go at the same time I was pulling the S out of storage, but that doesn't seem likely for the next few weeks.
