So, What Do We Have Here?

[Tool Pants]

Alberto's 2003 2.7 friend was at the Santa Cruz, California tech session.

Hint, it was a long drive. It is a North America car.

[mrmickeymouse]

I hear the North sea is bad this time of year......

2003 Finland Boxster non/s.

[Tool Pants]

Nope. The owner drove his Boxster from point A to Santa Cruz.

3 more pictures, but only one pic might have a clue.

[mrmickeymouse]

But....but.... he has a KM speedo....

Maybe an import to Canada.

Hehehe...

Hint - how do you get a RoW car in North America?

[mrmickeymouse]

Import it, "gray market car" , I must be missing something :( .

[PTEC]

Where else but in Canada do they drive on the left but have metric measurements?

[Tool Pants]

Ok, another twisted hint.

This is a Canadian visor. English and French. Took this picture about 2 years ago on a California car, because someone at the factory screwed up. The right side visor was in English only.

[porscheneer]

It is definately not Canadian because I used to live there, and it doesnt seem like it is mexican either... so this is starting to grate my brain...Where?

[Subanez]

So wait...does the french have anything to do with it? Hmmm...looks like a Nova Scotia license plate, but....it doesn't at the same time.

Another hint... He bought the car in the country were we both were born...My name is Alberto. The Owner is my friend... yet my last name is Scherb.

I'll bite ... Argentina?

[Tool Pants]

What kind of hint is that Alberto. No one guessing knows where you and your friend were born. I thought you were born in Nova Scotia. :P

The picture of the Canadian visor was a clue that it was not a Canadian car, since they have the air bag warning stickers just like we do in the US. Plus the country code for Canada is C36. A hint. Argentina should be C35. USA is C02.

Porscheneer was from Canada and has since moved to Texas, and he knows it is not a Canadian car. But his answer is very hot. Another hint. What if he moves a bit South again.

[porscheneer]

If Antonio's friend drove from Belize in one shot he's a champ!

and if he drove thru Mexico how many cops did he have to pay off....

Or was that just me when i crossed the border at San Diego :drive:

However there are alot of Germans in Brazil !!!

Alberto's car is from South of the Border! He lives in Monterey Nuevo Leon Mexico. In Mexico you can get all of the cool european cars that you can't get in the US. And the cool thing is that he just drove it up over the border! Anyone for a Mexican GT3 RS?

[porscheneer]

Um is that the answer, because I believe someone said mexico and TP said close but no Cigar ?

[Tool Pants]

You mentioned Mexico, but then said it did not seem like a Mexican car. You should have stuck with Mexico.

The country code on the option sticker is C34, which is the code for Mexico. No air bag stickers, or bumperetts. I wanted to look under the car to see if it had the extra set of cats we have in Canada/US.

Never on earth would I think I could take a drive to Mexico and pick up a ROW Boxster or a GT3 RS.

[porscheneer]

AWWW crap ... maybe i will get the next riddle!

[adsach]

Show us a picture of the rear exterior please. I can't picture how one merges the 99x tail with the 986 rollhoops/engine compartment and comes together as a GT3 RS convertible.

[Tool Pants]

I just asked Alberto to take a picture of the emission/smog sticker under the rear trunk lid if there was one.

What sticker.

[wattiker]

Ok, so you bring in a car from mexico. How do you title it in the US

[scherb]

You could always get a mexican wife... she can have dual citizenship and ...oh wait.. she would own the car... never mind... ;-) .
