Hi Stan, all is well these days. After the low work era, we have relocated to New Zealand and the family has settled in really well, the girls love it here and so do I. Beautiful country and the most lovely people you can hope for. The only thing that was missing was the FFRR (I'm driving a Toyota Estima for crying out loud) but that is going to be sorted soon.

Could you not have bought one from Japan and imported it?

Hi Jim, I have owned this FFRR for a long time and it is my perfect configuration. Also the FFRRs are quite a bit more expensive once imported here and I don't have the experience of buying from Japan, so I would have to rely on the imported cars and then might have to deal with the quirks of Japanese cars (like our current Toyota).

Yesterday the RR was removed from the container and today the MPI/IVS inspections were done and it is now fully cleared. Unfortunately I can't find any transport up North till Jan. Looking forward to picking it up. My youngest is looking forward to it as she gets to come along (we're flying which makes it even more interesting for her).

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about that although in the pics they sent me of the unloaded RR, the hazard lights seem to be on, window open so I'm guessing it has power. Also the battery is virtually new (replaced shortly before shipping) so I may be lucky. Sofar this RR has been brilliant, so hoping that stays the same for the years to come.

Great to hear from you Eugene. All the best in your "new" country - I am sure you cant wait to get behind the wheel of the Fattie again. |

Wooohoooo, we made it home without any technical issues!!! On Friday I flew up with my youngest daughter (she loves the RR and flying so win win for her). The pick-up was easy peasy, two signatures and the RR was mine. It had good company, a Cayenne, McLaren and S-Class, not sure about the heaps of caravans though. Oh and there was a Defender hiding in the back as well.
