Geoff,
The information was given to me direct by the owner (a well known dealer) at
the California Convention of the MVPA during a meeting convened to discuss
the import 'ban' and the MVPA's response to it. A container full of engines
was involved. They had already been blocked at the border several months.
I won't reveal the owners details because he may still be embroiled with
authority trying to get them out. But I did receive the information first
hand. Caveat emptor, old boy.
Regards. Mike S. UK.

I didn't hear about that, Mike... do you know what happened to them, where
in
Canada this was, and who the main players were?
