I'm station here at Ramstein AB, Air Force, and I have my TCM xb here. I got my box in 03 and got stationed here in 06. There were only about two of us with boxes here at that time and now there are a lot more. I counted about 6 so far in this area.

I haven't heard of one yet. I wish it was easier to import an Open Deck here. I'd love to see one in person.

my understanding is the car must be 15 years old or older to be imported or brought in one piece at a time
I am looking into bringing an OD body over and finding a totaled box for parts

The 2nd-gen JDM bB is sold in Europe (and apparently Africa, the Middle East, Central America, and New Zealand) as the Daihatsu Materia.
