Secondly, the guy that did the inspection on the R34, passed it as a U-BUILT, and lost his license from ICBC. Thirdly, the guy that first thought that they were really smart in finding the loopholes for bringing in this R34, is now running scared in another country because of this car. The car is so heated out, that the original owner didint even want it no more.
Im not even gonna start on the bodywork.... | http://www.revscene.net/forums/56443...vancouver.html | |

It probably cost as much, if not more than, a new BMW M3 to buy the car and get all the work done to "certify" it. And we all know how those things depreciate... bottom line is, if one wants it, they's getting it. It was a car that got people talking and was hella mythological (back when I was in high school, anyway). I remember seeing it on Boundary and 1st a couple of years back, mind was blown.
My guess is that ICBC and the Feds caught on to it, the guy(s) behind the car stuck it in a garage somewhere, and is waiting for the build date to hit 15 years before they try to offload it. Big loss of $$ but it's probably better than the fines and/or court costs they'll get trying to sell it...

Oh I know, but it seems like a lot of work and risk to get a car slightly earlier (then again, people camped out for weeks for a fucking phone). If the car was never going to become legal here I could understand the effort, but when they were only a couple years out it seems like a waste of effort.

I never understood the point of going through so many loopholes and spending so much money, just to get an R34 "legal" in BC.
The car is so heated out, it never gets driven. I don't see the point.

I never understood why people are so enthusiastic about Mustang, it's a cheap plastic and you see them on the road everyday.
It horribly lacks exclusivity, which is quite important for car enthusiasts.
I don't care if it's a Mustang GT or GT500, it is still a Mustang.

they do full and proper inspections taking pictures of everything and keep them on file to ensure that they dont lose their licence.
