D3xt3r Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Depends on your suitcase I would say everything that is small and heavy like a Big Brake Kit or a Turbocharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_Devlin Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 I can just imagine US Customs opening my case and finding a turbo charger in there. What are the chances that that might raise a few questions!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Can ya get me a Corvette C6 whilst ya there? ok just a pair of Levis then... Levi's and Nike are always good things to get, What about Portable DVD player, Ipod that kind of thing? Sony Playstation are sposed to be bringing out a Portable PS2..soon that would prob be a good buy over there if its out in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Careful of electronic devices as they're a hassle with the power connectors etc. Make sure it's compatible. Clothes basically. Remove packaging and labels and wear them once then you shouldn't get charged import duty for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_Devlin Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 Any electronics for the Supe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Where u off to Pat? Im going to new york in 2 weeks. I found that prices werent amazingly better even with the exachange rate for electronics.. I picked up a camera for 420£ (800$) only to find its on sale here at some internet stores for that, and even cheaper, cheapest I saw was 399. Eye up what you want, check out pricerunner.co.uk first, then decide when you get there if its worth it. You can easily buy a travel plug converter to use it over here with.
