When you live somewhere were all the Early V8 stuff is gone you have no choice but to look further afield. I have deuces from USA (twice) South Africa and Belgium and have had other cars from USA and Mexico.

I have always done the bank wire transfer method and figured that if someone opened a bank account then they provided ID and are traceable. Don't know about the USA but here banks are obliged to check your ID due to money laundering laws. If the wheels come off the deal then a call to the local cops is in order who should be able to track down the culprit?

Personally I have had no dramas apart from a roadster body that was different to the photos in so much as the wheelwells and floors were missing and fifty bucks that went missing due to bank charges at the other end.

I know a guy who was badly burnt though on an African deal so I guess there are fraudsters everywhere.

Am I supposed to do an intro???
