[Vwdiesel] importing to US

[Terry Briggs]

Oh, I forgot one very important, but minor thing, before they allow you 
to remove it from the customs holding area, you will have to correct 
any issues the car may have when they inspect it. So get yourself a new 
speedo to replace the one in the golf. I'm sure it will read in KPH and 
they won't release it until it is changed. Expect it to be held for at 
least 30 days in customs impound. It may not take that long, but expect 
the worst.
