| Good-day Mumbai (and the rest of India!) Greetings everyone! I'm a Canadian enthusiast, from the Ottawa area. And although I'm not Indian, I enjoy Indian food, Indian music and your very unique car scene! Speaking of unique, I drive a (JDM) Nissan Fairlady Z Twin Turbo...not as cool as a Hindustan Ambassador...ya, ya, I know!  Looking forward to hanging out with you guys and sharing in some of my interests! Cheers! BG |

 ) of the 'Lady.   It's a stock (unmodified) twin turbo, which I've bought online, at auction in Japan (A very interesting and exciting process...). They have been available in Canada, but generally the mileage and (rust free) condition of the cars from Japan are a big drawing point...not to mention the coolness factor of the RHD (right-hand drive)!

The bottom 2 pix were taken in the front of my house... There are a number of ways to go through the auction process. I'll post up some links and info latter (It's pushing 2am here...and the coyotes are howling at the 1/2 moon). BG | |

And no rush with the auction sites, it's not that we can buy & import a car easily anyways! So take your time. | |

 ). No compliance, or heavy import duties are involved. It must simply pass provincial safety regulations and emissions testing, before it's allowed on the road...just like any other used car.There seems to be a number of your neighbours (the Pakistanis) who are heavily involved with the JDM export/import business, but (besides the politics!) I'm sure their regulations differ greatly from those which apply in India. Sri Lanka too, appears to have a nice little JDM scene. BG | |
