they are a total pack of cnuts. It cost me almost 1/3 of what I had paid for 2 small boxes from LA last year - the XJ6 / LS1 conversion kit from the US - to get them out of Customs and into my post box........a total fucking joke. Do whatever you can to avoid paying any customs duty - bring stuff in in *parts*, make it all *vintage* - whatever it takes. There are ways and means to avoid customs duty on small imports - how can you threaten a local *market* which doesn't even exist ???

I just wish I knew then, what I know now, about importing stuff.......
Its total bullshit.
