I love how you replaced the weird Japanese import car with a conventional European car - imported from Japan

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
Wasn't the issue with the old one getting insurance for a grey import though?
Does it have a KPH speedo and Kanji characters everywhere? The fuse box on Mrs D's grey import MX5/Eunos Roadster was a total mystery

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I thought insurance might be an issue, but not so. Made bugger all difference actually. I suppose a JDM import is a different kettle of fish to a bog standard European car that's been over there and is just coming back to its roots, as it were.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 11:01 am Wasn't the issue with the old one getting insurance for a grey import though?

All the media is sorted via a software upgrade that's been done, so all in MPH and other old money and the radio, maps etc. are all sorted. The company (basically one bloke who has been doing this for years) I dealt with were kosher, all the cars they have come with a JEVIC certificate for mileage. This one was immaculate. Tried to haggle a bit but they weren't having any of it.
The only issue is the handbook is all in Japanese. I could do a few years at night school, but instead I've got one in English from eBay for a score. Service book is in Japanese as well, but it's got Audi stamps in it at the right intervals, albeit in Kms.
In fairness, a good car for the right price, so I'm happy. I even got the Gremlinette to part with a fair chunk of her savings to pay towards it.

Brilliant little things, it was my favourite company car, some were much better on paper but I really enjoyed that little A1.

I've switched to rice based beers like Estrella Damm for the same reasonJody wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 7:10 amI really must try GF beers as regular beer gives me terrible guts the next day.
