where was your 8 made?

I noticed that mine was made in japan, and i wondered whether any were made elsewhere and whether it made a difference.

So where were others' 8s made, and have you had any problems? I'm thinking of compiling some kind of chart.

Cool Plant this.....

Vagina Plant #2, now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

I'm sooo just joking on that one. Lord please forgive me for that, and be with the Pygmies in Africa. Amen.

one plant but they have two assembly lines for the motors .

There is the "low power" line - they all go to the USA .
The "high power" versions go to everyone else . They are a lot faster too . We all get under 14s for the standing 1/4 mile .

I've actually got a special edition! The dealer told me it was the only one made in Japan.

Heaven, but it speaks Japanese, and it flies like a bat out of Hell!
It was made from a transformer and that statue of the God of War that was knocked over by the A-bomb, blessed by a Shinto priest and assembled on a day with very good aspects!
It likes expensive gas, cheap oil and eats an occassional rat!
