I was just responding to a comment about British food being bad. I don't have a problem with American food but I just don't think it is any better or worst.

Quite a few of them ship cars around and will be able to give you the ins and outs of what is required.

I'm 'bout to move there and open a soul food place chittlins and all...

Yeah that is nasty - fish in the mornings.But the great British fry up is fantastic. You have to have baked beans with a fry up, it wouldnt be the same without.

Oh ok, your going to Lakenheath then? I was an F-15 crew chief while I was active duty and knew some people that were over there. Most of them liked it and would go back... I personally wouldn't trust the AF to ship a car over there though. They couldn't even ship furniture for me with out f*cking it up.

I'm stationed over in Italy right now. I decided not to bring the Z for multiple reasons. Wouldn't you know some guy right down the street from me has a roadster
I'm still not 100% about the gas situation over here, or where he's getting his gas from. There's only two choices for gas...
1. Unleaded (no octane rating).....around $8.00 a gallon
2. Diesel....don't really care.
Good luck on your decision.

Hey that pizza over there in Beck Row sucks. You'll learn to like it though.

1. The blinkers have to be amber. Need blinkers on your fenders. (Think JDM style)
2. There has to be separate running lights. (06's have them)
3. There has to be a (red) fog light on the back. (With illuminated switch)
4. You will have to put a some stickers over your headlghts to reflect the beam so you don't blind people on the other side. Take note, if you keep the 2 x 2 inch squares tape on your headlights for too long, they will stain. So just get em through the inspection then...you know.
5. You'll have to pass an emissions test.
Whatever you do, don't go to the dealership and pay 200 quid to get a "light coversion." Rip off. What you need to do is go talk to the guys at the hobby shop on Mildenhall or Lakenheath and they'll sort you out.
