What a great story..... write a book!
So... porsches are more expensive in Japan... importing one wouldnt be worth it... say a 964 3.6 Turbo...
or are they like Hens Teeth,

It just wouldn't slow for corners and acceleration at speed was truly immense. I never did get a close look at it, but it's the car I remember wanting to catch the most, when I came upon it... or it overtook me!
I've always put rear engined Porsches on the top of the gauntlet shelf of driver's cars, but the cost (& unavailabilityof tuning parts at less than ridiculous prices - at least in Japan) & costs of running them's put me off... Maybe someday, if I can find one attractively priced, I'll buy one... Almost bought a rather special high power 964 turbo a month or so ago, before I realised it wasn't really a prudent thought - just a romantic one.
I'd better stick (mostly) to Japanese cars in Japan for now  |
