Hunny: NO

I live in Japan and drive a JDM Toyota Noah minivan with Japan spec stalk layout and RHD Mini with EU spec stalk layout, the same as the US. Result: permanent confusion and wipers on for turns, windscreen-wash to flash headlights etc. etc. and so

The first I knew of the Vamos was when I discovered this in the woods near our house:

Don't put up with second best:

That.

If it wasn't Tom Wolfe it was someone channeling The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby.

Little known fact: the strongest and softest Alcantara comes from the hair of wild alcantars rounded up in early spring. After the winter hibernation they wake up and gorge on dandelion seeds and the bamboo stalks left behind by pandas, which is thought to be the source of the softness and strength of the resulting…

Half-decent R32 GTRs are already over $50k in Japan. Let's see what happens when they pass the 25-year rule in the US - someone said this coming August on another thread.

My uncle retrieved a lump of this stuff from the wall of the repair shop of the dealer where he worked.

Our Mini was a second car and the battery would leak charge pretty fast if we didn't take it out for a regular spin. I had to jump start it at least twice after it was neglected during long overseas trips and suchlike.
