Uploading pictures now...what to say about today...no Z's but wow i don't know where to start. www.g-lux.co.kr is by way the most baller place i've been to so far. they treated chopper, definition, and myself with great hospitality and was in no way afraid to show off their cars to us. don't bother going to lamborghini of seoul as unless you're gonna buy one they won't talk. ferrari was pretty cool with us checking out the 430 scuderia with its dual center exit exhaust and beautiful gold-bronze rims. but back to G-Lux...
When we first got there we saw the SLR McLaren behind a white F430 with ECU and Tubi exhaust. While we were checking it out, one of the employes, which we got to talk to a lot and was the nicest there, mentioned there was an SL behind us we should check out. At first the F430 and SLR were what we were inspecting until he brought us over to the matte silver Lorinser SL...NOT just one with a kit, but one that is one out of 50 ever made, this one was #10. The owner acquired it after seeing it at the Geneva Auto Show and was so facinated by it, he purchased it there and had it shipped to Seoul. After definition showed the owner some magic tricks, he brought us to the basement where there was a Mansory tuned Vanquish with Tubi exhaust next to a white Lambo LP640...I know i missed a lot but will post more when finished uploading the pictures. Hopefully chopper and def will be logging in soon as well to post what I missed as it was a crazy packed day!

hell yeah guys yesterday was a blast! i'm in gangnam often so from now on i'm going to stop by there when i get a chance and tell them, well at least that one guy who owns most of the cars, how much we appreciated his/their hospitality. will also ask them maybe on a weekend of something if they could get all the G-Lux cars out for a nice photoshoot and some food.
oh and yes, people with maserati's DO eat @ McDonalds hahah oh too bad we didn't get a picture of the austin mini with dampachi on it

Thats one thing that we are missing...our Z's. We arent allowed to bring our Z here because the military doesnt allow us to drive just yet. But if you want to bring yours over get ready to pay a about %30 of the vehicle cost in taxes and whatnot.

Yeah as chopper said...taxes can be quite expensive. so unless you're planning on living here for a while and can't stand to live without your Z, start saving..if money isn't an issue, bring it over and we'll all meet up for our 2nd Z meet with an actual Z. The closest we got to Z's were RHD 350GT Skylines (G35 Coupe). Most of the Z's here, we (chopper, definition, and I) have seen, have been ordered from Nissan Korea but shipped from Japan.
