Not Ranked
Buying US
Hey Richard,
Your innovative chassis design appeals to me, and the workmanship quality.
I have several guys who bring containers in every few weeks, a car could be brought in for not a great amount, then there is the 12.5% Tax, but no duty here! Plus our dollar is up against yours so I have recently secured an additional $US12000 in US Funds over your basic stage 1 price, so if our dollar drops it should bother me!

However, I think that it is best for you folks to deal locally with designers and builders. The cost is just too much to bring a US car to NZ.Plus, the JBL will not be any better than a local design and will not fit your mindset as well as a NZ offering.
Buy NZ. That is where your support is. Stick with it.
Leave the Yank stuff alone. We are all smoke and mirrors here.

Buying NZ there is nothing that compares with your build and quality! Regarding support I have found if I want something done properly its best to do it yourself! The only way is to build a one off, and after building two cars which have taken 8-9 years its a bit like you mention in your closing statement.
