Fw: [VWofT] How to bring a car into Canada

[Rave Racer]

    Ok, I remember that someone was moving to Canada and was going to import
their older Audi full size sedan or wagon.  Somebody else notified them of a
Gov site that showed that this particular car was dissallowed, and the
individual moving was going to have to use another Audi he had.  A couple of
people on the VW site are considering or in the middle of importing odd cars
into Canada and I thought that someone might remember the site.  I was also
wondering how he made out moving to Canada.
