If you're asking about my car, no it wasn't, it's never at the airport.

A different car then. Now that I look closer at your pic I think it was a different colour. It looked sharp. I was driving my truck at the time and seeing it made me wish I could have drove the car that day.

If anyone is looking to import any 2008 911's into Canada...below is a message from my importer, who advised me they can get the Canadian customs to omit the rear bumper adjustments...
If anyone wants to import, let me know and I will refer you to my importer who is very efficient, friendly and kept me in the loop on all communications. She's great to work with. She is located in Barrie, Ontario but does importing all across Canada. I didn't even meet with her yet.

Yesterday it was brought to my attention from one of my US Porsche Dealers that I work with all the time , that Porsche Dealers are able to provide a letter to Canada Customs on 2008 vehicles that the parts required for the bumpers are the same Matching parts that are currently on the USA Cars. The part number is a perfect match. And therefore allowing the vehicles in, accompanied with the letters of compliance. This particular dealership has sent over 5 - 2008's accompanied with the letter and they have been registered with no difficulties. Just thought I would mention this to you. These guys also have a USED 2008 GT2 for sale. Know of anyone looking let me know.

I guess they're in the same situation as the RS', people buy them and sell them for $50K over MSRP. This particular GT2 has 50 miles on it.

Contact RIV, to see if they are OK for importing, then start searching for them. I think a GTS with 6MT is an awesome SUV!

I don't think the problem will be with RIV, when I brought my car up last year I stopped at the dealer in Bellingham, and he said that Porsche does not allow them to sell new cars to Canadians in order to protect the Canadian dealers,that said there were two "used" Porsches sitting on a trailer both were new 07's with a few miles on them,just enough to satisfy that they were used!

Agree! Talk to any dealership down there and find out if they have any used ones with less than 100 miles on it. I'm sure you can find them.
