    Be interesting if you could ... grey imports happening again though? Not sure it'd be right ... at least without some serious paperwork/effort.

    From what I've heard someone over this side imported one but can not get it registered. I would assume you would have to jump through hoops and legal red tape to get compliancy, then there's the import tax on top which won't be cheap........... Unless there's a company out there that's gonna bring them in

    If you own and use it overseas for more than 12 months it is possible. To buy and import one would be massively expensive as unlike Terrano's, Skyline's etc. GU Shorty's are not on the approved list.

    and the SEVS list as of 31 Jan 2012 http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/sevsindex.htm

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    So has there been a swb available from the first GU? I've haven't even seen any pics (not that I been looking!). A TD4.2 turbo shorty would be pretty killer!
