I have been trying to get a couple of parts from Vic this week. His brother is running the place for him at the moment because he said Vic is having health problems. I have never bought anything from them before so Idon't know what kind of rep they have. I am pretty surprised so many people are getting rapped around the axle about importing things through various means, even if they are deceptive. The government makes import/export rules to protect industries, jobs, and citizens. Importing used stuff so we can enjoy our vans more is OK by me and I don't think our laws were ever meant to stop such things. If Vic can make a buck at it at the same time, good on him. When you register your vehicle you should do it legally. Going to a another state where it is easier IS LEGAL. More importantly, who cares as long as the government doesn't care. California Smog Nazi's only care because it is job security for them. John Reddick 87 Westy SVX |
