Glad to hear the Revolution arrived safely.  Too bad the customs agents can't read the same information as you had regarding imprt fees.

Thanks for the follow-up Ian. Glad to hear it arrived in one piece. You oght to have Paul talk to the customs chap to get you a reduced duty rate  ;D

Glad to hear at least the shipping part went OK, Ian.  You can't beat the tax max - they make the rules and then interpret them as well. And if the UK is like the USA, there is no independent appeal process - you go back to the tax people for that as well!

What are your current thoughts about a return to the US?  Are we likely to see you folks next spring or summer?
