He had a black Grenada. I think it all worked out. He had no problems selling it and that was after driving it for 18 mo. I need to ask him if he turned a profit on that deal...Bouhttp://boudicca.mu.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863461026990087355.post-6027712793402631462010-02-02T17:34:20.017-06:002010-02-02T17:34:20.017-06:00The islands are called Pinnacle Islands http://en....The islands are called Pinnacle Islands http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senkaku_Islands .

I got orders to a "C" school in Pensacola for four months and then onto Korea. I was told that the car would be shipped to Korea or put in storage until I got there about five or six months later. At that time there was a diplomatic problem between Taiwan and Japan over the return of islands taken by Japan during WWII and Japanese products were not being allowed to enter Taiwan. A neighbor of mine that was with the Brazilian Consulate in Taipei wanted a car like mine for his wife as a present, couldn't order one at the time due to the problem, so offered me $3500,00 for the car. I drove it for almost a year all over Taiwan and made a $300.00 profit. Bought another new car in the states while in the school and had that one shipped to the new duty station, which had been changed from Korea to Spain while I was in Pensacola. Got lucky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
