Nope, I inquired as to availability, pricing (less VAT), and shipping cost. Will let you know if I hear anything from them.

Edit: wonder if models are on the prez's tarriff list  :lolb:

Oh I'm sure!   I don't think the whole tarriff thing is remotely finalized....There will be more drama!

Like that engine.....

Nice looking engine, sounds like a build log is coming!

On the bank transfer thing, been there done that, got stung! Not sure if it’s universal, but if it’s done here then it likely is. So the bank will charge you a fee for the transfer, it then charges you at a marked DOWN exchange rate PLUS a fee....so far so expensive! THEN the bank at the other end charges YOU yet ANOTHER fees to process the bank transfer!
Last time I tried this the fee both ends was $50.00 NZ, the exchange rate is always going to be variable......like the fee that goes with that.
Oh then on top of all that customs duty on the cost of the item PLUS any shipping!

My son has a saying.....” one day banks will give the service that they think they do”

Don't you guys have internet banking?

Torsen will send an invoice with his bank details you then treat that like any other online payment except you will have to click a box for international transfer that is when they will work out the exchange rate and add their fee. Make sure you get Torsen to add on any of his banking fees so you don't have to make a separate transfer for that.

Hi Jason,
 Have come across several companies in different countries that won’t take cards or at the time internet banking, then comes the issue of them NOT sending goods overseas! Just another challenge
