    Smile Hello from the US

    I live in the states but own a Pontiac G8 GT. of all the cars I've owned it’s the best by far. On one hand I wish that GM had kept Pontiac division so we could have seen more of these fine cars imported to North America but then again the fewer of them makes my car unique. I bought mine last early yr with just over 4k miles on the clock. Since then I've put another 5,000 on her. BTW I have also begun to watch V8 Supercar races shown here on our Speed channel.

    Welcome Good to see you're a V8 Supercars fan, also good to see you're a holden (GM/Pontiac) fan.

    Im not sure about how importing goes in America, but can you import from overseas without getting a conversion? Because if in the future you may want a new one they can ship it so on so forth.

    Are you sure it's not too confusing for you. I mean, they turn left in V8 Supercars which you'd be used to but they also turn right!!! AND they do it a whole lot more often too... LOL!!!

    Welcome mate... Love hearing of Americans that prefer the Aussie product when they have such a huge choice over there. I want a Camaro SS damn it! I want my Bumblebee! Haha!

    Gidday Blair, nice to a see seppo member

    One of my dreams is to own a '69 Dodge Charger, preferably orange with "01" on the side xD ... Failing that an early 70's Chevy Impala (black of course).

    Those cars just have "the look". I figure it's a fair trade, since many of our XA/XB Falcons (ie. Mad Max cars) have ended up the States.

    Cheers!

    I truly wish that I could import a car from Australia to the US but I don’t think its possible if I could I would love a HSV GTS!

    I like the Camaro and have driven one but I prefer my G8 I think it’s a better made car and the Camaro is difficult to see out of.

    yeah, I love reading it!

    Also it was announced Bathurst will be telecast on Speed in the US ... thats our holy grail of motorsport!

    My plan is to one day visit the States to watch a Nascar race, something me and my mate have discussed since we were little.
