  1. Lol i nearly did a few times tbh. Would love one, or a mk2
  2. Insurance should cover it, we are waiting to see. Worst part is the van is normally got alot in but that night was extra full as we had just picked up all the gear for a weeks worth of jobs. We where trying to be extra organised going back to be lazy now though as aleast theres less to lose then!
  3. Does take the piss! Proper gets you a bit down tbh. And is just all the agro of sorting it all out! Saved some stuff and lost other bits
  4. Thats the issue. Every one knows the cars are cheap, and responses I've had is that people think its down to the shipper or first owner to absorb the costs and resale should be more reflective of the original jap purchase price! Hence why i dont import now.
  5. loved that fuckin van! And it is just an arsonist according to the old bill. They have been burning all sorts for just over 2weeks, inc trying to set alight a block of flats!!
  6. Bumping this back up guys shes gonna be running a week sunday and her friend who was going to run with her has just been told she cant run for medical reasons so now shes a loan runner. Show support please guys, any donation is hugely appreciated!
  7. So went to bed on friday night, and got woken up at 3am by banging on my front door and my mum calling to me through my bedroom door that my van alarm is going off! So jump out of bed and pull on some shorts fast as you like, run down stairs and my bro deebo is already unlocking the front door, we fly up the drive to chase and fuck up who ever is trying to steal my shit and see what no one expects........my van on fire!! Was arson, my neigbour slowed it with an extinguisher and then we just watched it burn till the fire service showed up. Is a fookin nutter running around burning cars abd shit! But whay do people do it? They have gained nothing atal and i have no got tons of shit to deal with as has the guy i subby to.
  8. Is about 700 to ship a small car and 1000 for a big car. You need to pay to have it driven/transported to the dock in japan and loaded which can vary but account around 200-400 for that. Then in the uk you pay import duty which is 10% plus vat which is 20% this is on the total invoice value! So what ever you have spent so far which will be around 2400+30%taxes=2880 plus you will now need to pay unloading fees in the uk, around 200-300 if you dont shift the car within 5 days storage of 25-50 a day depending on vehicle size is also applied. Then you will need to do all the relevant paper work this side. All of the above excludes shipping insurance which imo is a must because if the boat sinks or the car gets damaged your fucked without it! I've imported a few cars from japan but no fooker wants to pay anywhere near what it costs so i gave up as loosing money for other benifit of owning jdm cars is shit business lol.
  9. ^^ Yep cycle. Is great to get fit. And is so many different types of riding you can do. Plus only expense really is a good bike and a good helmet. Apart from the odd service items theres not much to pay out for.
