    No mate its too hot here for convertables its a 4 door hard top. Funny thing is thats a cheap car here. They have this weird bidding system that you have to use before you can buy a car, you have to bid for and pay money for the right to even buy a car. For this car this month its around 5K. Now get this, back in 1997 that same car would have cost me 100,000 dollars just for the certificate to buy the car then the car cost which is about $60K. How fvcked up is that. This is the only country in the world that has this system and its designed to stop people from buying cars because its a small Island and they dont want grid lock here.

    Shit That sound Fvcked up. Huge outlay just to have the privilege to own a car. I heard the humidity is a bitch there. So air con is king I bet. I stay down on the South Coast of S.A. And it gets really humid here to, but not half as bad as there. We just had a heat wave reached 44 degree C about 111 Fahrenheit. I believe it gets hotter there!

    Damn.....all that trouble just to avoid gridlock??.....

    Well I hope you get to enjoy your new car. That is some crazy system. So, do they have a set number of vehicles they allow sold in a year or on the road at any one time??

    Nope they just jack up the price of the certificate and that keeps the buyers away. You are only allowed to keep a car here for 10 years then it has to be exported off shore.
