Hi all, Guys! That is just problem of money! More or less, but it's 'just'(!) money. In my case it's more complicated. I am trying to ship my D to Poland. Our law does not allow anyone to import a car that is more than 10 years old. It doesn't matter what car it is.... classic or not. I doesn't matter how much one is willing to pay..... you CAN'T do it. Right now I'm trying to find a way to go around that stupid law... there's got to be a way. Good luck to you....
