Yeah, its a joke. I'm going to the UK next week, last time I was there I didnt see one S2000 - however I seen a few Skylines which made me miss the UK even more

BTW, whats going on with the exchange rate?

1.00 USD = 0.53 GBP

Seems to have moved alot, I cant remember if it used to be better or worse just 6 months ago.

I wonder what kind of tarriffs does that includes?

 

[QUOTE=KenS2K,Nov 20 2004, 06:16 AM] The EU is not about being competitive. It's a Marxist roadmap back through socialism to complete communism.

 

And we complain if gas prices go up a little.

 

Are you serious?? More than Asian countries??? I doubt it. We import tons more than we export...ESPECIALLY cars. Why do you think our trade deficit is so huge??????

 

"would collapse"? They have collapsed.

 

Yeah its called off-shoring our jobs at such a high rate that I fear for the next generation coming up!

 

Just FYI, in a Southeast Asian country -

1997 or 98, friend's dad bought a Jaguar XK8 and a 3.0 S-type at the same time.
XK8 - US$300,000; S-type - US$100,000.
in 2001, another guy bought a brand new CLK230 Kompressor - US$115,000.

just recently, an Evo VII set another guy back US$49,000.
the brand-new 2005 A6, retails at US$125,000.

go overseas and you'll start wondering how ppl actually even afford them.

 

It is about a weak dollar guys - which is good for us buying things from you!!

Also the taxes are high - especially in UK - 17.5% VAT (Sales tax kinda thing)
