     I am trying to clarify something.  Has anyone out there had the
experience of attempting to bring in a left-hand drive car to a right
hand drive country?
     In April I am going to Australia to take an exam for a professional
license there, within 2-3 years I am going to move there.  Well you all
know how I love my 90 GL, and how well it brings along my 5 kids
everywhere.  Here is my problem.
     I was told by another newsgroups, from australia, that they have
some law that all cars must be right-hand drive, unless it is 50 or >
years old.  They said they were not sure and did not furnish me with a
POC over there to find out.  I do not want to ask Volkswagen
because..well.. you how we feel about dealing with the dealers, they
will try to sell me a EV.  (nothing against the EV but I'm hooked on my
Vanagon).  Even worse they may tray to sell me a Sharren, (a carebear
version of the EV)..
    Does anyone have any ideas?  If not, look for my sales post in the
future. (oops I shouldn't have said that).
Thank you
-Tim
