[s-cars] RE: Business Trip to UK: Thinkin RS2 parts

[jimk at spotgraphicsinc.com]

Before you go, be SURE to arm yourself with the current in-the-US prices
of the items you are interested in.  I priced some stuff out in Germany
and England last year.  The stuff in England in some cases ended up
being more than what they would have cost over here and it was WAY more
than what the stuff costs in Germany.  One of the main killers is the
English VAT (Value Added Tax).  It's something like 17 or 18% of the
total price.  I can't imagine that any car dealer over there
participates in the tourist VAT rebate program where you get the VAT
back once you leave the country with the item.
Obviously I can't vouch for every item but just the selected stuff I
looked at.  So just be careful.

Just found out I'll be in Westminster England area next week. Any
suggestions or BTDT for RS2 parts while in the UK? Think American
Airlines may take exception with a Sport Steering Wheel airbag as
carry-on?

Really appreciate the advice,
