So after selling my 98 GT-S sometime in July...I decided to seek out my dream car! Here's a little story of my adventure to see a GT-Four, up front and in person, for the very first time...

Dragged two buddies along for the journey. We planned for the 12:30pm sailing at the horseshoe bay terminal in BC, to get to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Turns out the sailing was full and we waited 3 hours for the next sailing. After 1.5 hrs on the ferry we hauled a** 150km north of Nanaimo to Campbell River (keep in mind the last sailing home is 9pm). Finally arriving at the place we took a look at the car, took it for a spin and worked out the payment details.
The pro: engine is still running strong even with meerly 103,000kms
The cons: various surface rust here and there
The solution: leave the car there, get all the surface rust sanded out and get a full paintjob (at my cost)... then ship it to me

Now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive!....time for some teaser pics!

I have done some research and apparently there is a device that lets you put a system of mirrors on the left side so that you can pass other cars safely. I watched a clip on youtube from some russian company that makes them. To be honest... I would have probably invested into a camera system that is not obstructing half the windshield.
To answer your "over the fence" thing... while I am at least 5 months away from being able to begin trying there is a glimmer of hope. Ethically I am bound to obey all laws and regulations but there is a large portion of my conscious that tells me "Ehh to hell with it" and get one here anyways legal or not. I do have a daily driver which is my swapped celi.. so as far as I am concerned if I actually physically brought a gt-4 here to my parking lot.. rest would kind of manifest itself into something that I can drive one way or another. I will definitely check out that site you mentioned. So far I have been trading messages with company called terra2imports.
