Hi SeaStreet, I can’t answer your question about registration in the US as I am in Japan, but as far as hill climbing: I’m at 1000m on Mt. Fuji...
Hi again Suzuki Kei, I can't count. Yeah, if your truck is a 1999 it should, of course, clear the 15 year rule. Cheers, Dave
It that certificate you posted for your truck? Is the truck a 1999? If it’s a 1999 the customs officer can quibble and say that if it was made...
Update: It's gone. Some smart guy got it for only 90,000 yen. (About US$750 or, say, $940 Australian.) There will be years of life left in that...
Hey Gents, I know this is bonkers, but: A really nice, really low kms 4WD has just come up for auction here. It’s up on the block in about two...
Just an update, Gents: That 1987 Carry is still available. Other than that, there is nothing really nice in the pre '89 bracket (for Australia)...
Hi Tony, I'm blowed if I know. (And I'd really like to know, too.) We can only get the 15 year old ones into Canada, although at least that does...

Hi Wingman, If you can't find anything in Ontario, we can always get you one from here in Japan. The selection of good low-kilometers trucks is...

Yes, we are taking a pounding here on the cost of imported goods since the Twits in Tokyo decided to push the Yen so far down. And the whole...
Hi again dochockin and Hi too to you Trax and Horns, I just wrote in on your other thread but I'll jump in here, too. Can't resist. Trax and...
Hi dochockin, It's certainly fairly straight forward to import a minitruck yourself from here (Japan). Freight to Vancouver (New West) is pretty...
Hi Inane2, Really glad that you are enjoying these comments from the Japanese Kei truck fans and maniacs. Yutaka calling the Sambar the...
Our next Japanese minitruck fan, Yutaka, has a lot to say about mechanical and safety issues so I’ll break his comments up into more than one...
Our next bit of translated comments from an anonymous Japanese mini truck fan come from “Hidden Hiramatsu.” (All names are changed here to protect...
And here’s a quick comment from “Hideyuki,” another Sambar fan: I drive a Sambar truck every day. I bought it new 6 years ago and it’s now at...
