I just got back from two weeks in the DR, and on a tour into Santa Domingo I saw a bunch of Festivas and 121's. I saw about 20 in total and managed to snap a couple pics when the van briefly slowed down from light speed.

Awesome! Now put one in a briefcase and bring it back for me.
If they ask what's in the luggage at the airport, just say it's a toy car! Seems legit.

@sasquach, i thought that he just happened to get it when it was in the down position. It looks like its raining in that photo. It would be really cool if the mod made it that far though.91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way

Here's what I'm thinking:
Relatively short trip. Need one Spanish speaking envoy to go pick cars and parts and finish coordination of load out. Take maybe four days or so? Fill one 40' shipping container with three Festivas and parts. Ship to Port Everglades, FL. Have folks there to pick up cars and parts for U.S. Festiva Club distribution.
Shouldn't this be cheaper than importing from Europe, Korea or Japan?

That's awesome. When I lived in Honduras. (Visited El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala...) I didn't see ANY! Tons of cool weird cars, but NO Festivas.

My Festiva has a rear wiper and the factory switchComment

He was talking about the wiper mod where you swap in the gears from an escort wagon and the wiper will rest in the down position.Originally posted by 3Dw View PostComment
