Importing Cars From Abroad

About Me

Hi! My name is Nigel. I have always loved classic American and European cars. These vehicles have a certain something about them which cars produced in Australia just do not have. As a kid, I used to cut pictures of Cadillacs from my comics and stick them to my bedroom wall. As soon as I was old enough, I got a job and started saving so I could import a car from Europe or the States. Since I got my first imported car, I have learnt a lot about how to maintain it from my local auto repair shop. I hope you like my blog.
