Trouble Importing an UR-Q

["Nick Meyers" <nmeyers@hotmail.com>]

Listmembers! I need your help...
I am trying to import an Ur-Q from Canada and have run into some snaggs, 
Here is the sequence of events that have transpired so far:

Called AOA, said they needed the Canadian registration of the said UR-Q, 
Vin, and Engine code for an EPA Compliance letter..I provided that as 
requested via fax.  It took 2 weeks to process to see if compliant.  
Called the other day- my contact at AOA said that it had been rejected 
and I will be receiving a letter .  AOA said that the odo needs to read 
miles, the work "brake" needs to appear in a certain area on the dash or 
something(was a little unclear about this..) and that the emmissons when 
built(83 UR-Q) were not EPA nor California Emmissons compliant..They 
said they would send me a list of importers that handle compliance 
etc...I thought the canadian spec UR Q was essentially the same for the 
exception of the Kilo's vs. miles?  They said that all of the importers 
are in the U.S.,so I have to bring the car in the states to comply then 
back to Canada for importation? 
Please if anyone has any Been There Done Thats and can help me solve 
this problem I would be very grateful- I really want my UR-Q but cant 
afford to pay a rediculous fee to bring it in the states(already facing 
taxation when crossing the border)..Please, listmembers help me out! 
Thanx!  

By the way, congrats to Michael Williams for his stellar UR-Q find! I 
need to be on the same page with you mike (with the new UR-Q's) but I 
have to solve this importation thing!
