DUDES !!! Fackin fantastic this is tha funniest thread I have read ROTFPMSL Read to about half way and realised I had been reading for nearly an hour and a half and thought I better get some work done. I will leave you with this,,,,, Chester: How wasted were we last night? Jesse: Well, I touched Christy Boner's hoo-hoo, were on the hook for two hundred thousand dollars to a transsexual stripper, and my car's gone. I'd say we were pretty wasted. SWEET!!!!

Thanx Minx

Thanks for the comments guys. I used to work for two mates who owned Japanese Vehicle Sourcing in Edinburgh before it closed its doors so am aware of the fuel ron situation and generally what the car will need to pass its test, it was really the Manx end of things I was looking to confirm. I just did not know what the differences were between here and the UK if any. Also who to contact and when. Do I contact the DoT before the car arrives on the island? Does anyone here have a contact for the transportation of the car from Newcastle to Liverpool? or know anyone with Trade Plates who would be willing to drive it to Liverpool for me? Shipping from Japan is usually around £500 with an 8 week wait, then 10% of cars value as import tax and of course plus the nasty 17.5% VAT when the car arrives in the UK. Andi555, I am getting the car at the same price an import dealer (like Japan Direct) would pay for it, unfortunately cant share that with you, sorry. well I could but I would have to kill you. Richard, what did you did??? Whats the island insurers you reccommend? oh and PM's are on I think pobiom, I realise that there are a load here on the rock already as Richard mentioned but I doubt very much I would be able to buy an RA here in a similar condition for the same kinda money to the one my mate has in Japan, or if I could it would be a little beat up.

Hi folks As you may have noticed, I am new to you great site. I originally posted this in the General Section but was advised to post it here too. I thought SIDC would be the best place to come for advice after seeing your stand at the Connister Motorshow in Douglas a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to come and talk to any of you as I was working that day at the show too. Not sure if this post should be in here or the Isle of Man section. I am looking to purchase an Impreza and have a contact in Japan who can supply me with a lovely RA for not alot of cash but I have heard conflicting stories when it comes to parts and servicing for imports. I realise there are many imports out there already and was wondering if you wonderfull people could advise me of the pros and cons of purchasing an import against buying a UK car. Are there any of you on here imported one to the Isle of Man? I know the process in the UK for putting imports on the road SVA, MOT and all that but have never done it here, what are the DoT processes on the Island? I have actually driven both a standard UK car as well as various standard and modified imports and to be honest prefer the extra spec you get with an import not to mention the few extra bhp, my worry was the availability of parts should I need them and also the servicing. Thanks in advance folks, I look forward to reading your comments and advice.

<< Put a post in the Meets - Isle of Man section mate. >> Thanks mate I will do that

<< Wonderful cars as they are, 'Investment' is not the word that springs to mind! 'Glorious money consumption unit' would be closer to the mark! >> Ok so I admit it was not the best choice of words but you knew what I meant LOL Thanks for the advise folks and of course for the warm welcome I have actually driven both a standard UK car as well as various standard and modified imports and to be honest prefer the extra spec you get with an import not to mention the few extra bhp, my worry was the availability of parts should I need them and also the servicing. All I really need to know now is the process for putting an import onto the Manx roads Attached is the 'Glorious money consumption unit' I was looking at (did I get it right Chris?)
