At next car show, in thick southern accent.. 

"awwwwww, that's sooo cute. It's a baby wagon. Wadda think it is Merv?" 

"I think it's a Chevette. Now look.. There's a sticker saying OSNZ. Hmmmm? New Zealand maybe? That's part of England right? Up near France"

The fizz for RHD stuff in the US is impressive. This was at an auction in Florida earlier in the year. Apparently a 1.0L, must have been a 10A, didn't check the door cards...

First I had to pay property taxes on the vehicle
Then provide the originals of
- NZ Registration Documents
- HS7 - DOT Declaration
- CBP 3520 - EPA Declaration
- CBP 3461 - Entry Declaration
- CBP 7501 - Entry Summary
- Passport
- Proof of Address
Then complete a SC DMV Title/Registration Application

It was all fairly simple but the holdup was getting all the documents from the importers and then getting the motivation to stand in the DMV for half a day. Fortunately I had a REALLY helpful woman who I thought went above and beyond and that made the whole ordeal WAYYY more chill.

Awesome dude, I'll co-pilot for sick week 2030.

[KKtrips]

I'll hopefully have a NASCAR engine by then....

Has to be in a Summit Racing car park using Harbor Freight tools or it ain't shit.

 

[xsspeed]

a wagon that does 80 miles per hour?!?

[RUNAMUCK]

Gonna be funny the first time KK gets hassled by the man.  Cop goes to the wrong side of the vehicle, sees all the jaunty stickers etc........

[Nominal]

Do you get much reaction / chat from the natives?

Maybe some summer cars events coming up?

[fuel]

Americans get confused/love the RHD's - every time I drive the wagon through the states I get lots of stares, waves and thumbs ups etc. Most just can't comprehend that you could possibly be operating the vehicle from the other side of the car haha.
