The following are links to dealers that I found on my travels (and if you're going to rip them off for your site at least change the order!). This list is by no means exhaustive, but it should provide a starting point for those of you just starting out on the import road. I should point out that inclusion on this list does not imply an endorsement by me!
Post a message on the FTO mailing list or the FTO forum if you want people's opinions
and experiences with a particular dealer. Some importers/dealers generate a rather mixed response to say the least!
