Dear List,
This subject brings to mind a question that I have regarding
Hmmwv's being available to be bought by any of us Kiwi's down here in NZ.
Although I have seen one Kiwi from the South Island on the list. I really am
stuck regarding buying from the US to ship to New Zealand.
Does anybody know what the current regs are for this?
And then there is the big question.......where do you buy a Hmmwv
that you can't see for a fair price ?
I enjoying reading the list all the time....it's where it's at!
regards,
Darren Hunter
