What you do with those parts after they are in country has some loophole benefits.
Yeah, that won't be any trouble with Doris at window 6, at the old DMV. Especially not in California.

I had a friend do that with a Bimota. I'd hate to think of doing it with a car. I don't want the bad dreams. Very, very bad.

are you saying bad or are you saying good?

all the Noble sold in the US are put together this way and registered as a kit car. you can still insure it etc etc. There are other cars that were imported this way too.

i think he was making a pun on going to a toll road with the clc. If you have a UK clc and you drive up to a US toll right, the driver side is going to be on the opposite side of the booth.

I'm pretty sure it'll have a left hand drive version too.

imagine sitting in the McLaren F1. right smack in the middle of the car where you can't reach either side going through toll booth. good thing they'll just drool at the car and forget to ask you to pay.
