That got your attention So, over here in , we sometimes see LHD cars people have imported, I have even owned a couple, but over there, do you ever see many RHD cars? To see left hand drive here is getting more common, in the past the gubbamint has wanted any car built after January 1989 to be converted to right hand drive which was a pain in the arse.... but they are relaxing the rules, so now we see plenty of left hookers.... Do you guys see imported cars from England (or Australia) in the US or are they not allowed? (prolly not in Kaliforn-i-a) but what about everywhere else?

we some occasionally, Ernie has a small imported Honda sports car that is RHD.. Old mail trucks too, Most here are LHD, all the exotic cars that are available in Germany etc are LHD....We still cant get some of the cool stuff that you can get in Europe, all the high MPG cars are "illegal" here, like diesel smartcars, and small fords. Even the Honda civics are better over in Europe. We get the same old boring crap year after year, Honestly there are no cars on the market that would inspire me to get a car payment...I would never pay $40k+ for a Mustang or Camaro...please!

. All I ever saw around here was one imported Rolls Royce with RHD ... and it looked weird coming down the highway ... the driver was sitting on the passenger side Then a couple years ago somebody started importing tiny Asian trucks with RHD but the cab is so narrow it doesn't make much difference ... farmers buy them to check cattle in cold weather (instead of using their 4-Wheelers) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daihatsu_H ...

. I always wondered how they do it in Europe .... a Brit in his RHD car goes to a "normal" country where everything is LHD .... how and where do they switch ? ... after they cross the Chunnel ? . Must be weird to switch and then remember to stay on the wrong side of the road For me it would never be a problem .... if I had to drive a RHD car ... I would simply commit suicide .

When I was in the USAF in Hawaii, the Allied navy's would have exercises and then they would all come in at the same time for shore leave, it was funny to watch the Australians ride their mopeds on the wrong side of the road after leaving the bars, all the while yelling at everyone else for being on the wrong side of the road..

I think you got some of our Monaros.... badged as Pontiac GTO On top Gear in England, they liked our Commodore/Monaro/Maloo.... they reckon they are the only cars that need windscreen wipers.... on the side windows coz you are usually going sideways around corners It was funny watching FJ go to the right hand side of the sidekick when we were going to go anywhere.... even funnier to see him in it Knees in the glove box.... he was half on my side and his head rubbing on the roof Needed some KY to get him in.... he's a big ficker

Don't laugh, but some people made a similar arrangement, but with chain and sprockets close to the firewall and it was approved

You can have the passenger get involved by turning on the turn signals, lights, wipers and all that other stuff, just like a co-pilot.

Yeah, if you get booked for speeding, blame the passenger for not telling you how fast you were going, so he can pay the fine My Imp is good, it can be left or right hand drive.... there are matching floor panels, one for the pedals, the other is a blank plate.... there is a hole both sides for the steering column, one is blanked off with a bolted plate.... the dash has the same indentations both sides, so you can put the instruments either side..... the steering rack just needs to be unbolted, swapped end for end and re bolted.... and the steel brake lines from the pedal master cylinders modified.... Once it is registered, I might make it left hand drive.... if I get pulled over, you have 7 days to get it inspected as to being correct.... the same day (a few hours later) put it back to RHD, take it and demand it be inspected.... NOW! because some stupid cop pulled me up and thought the car was LHD??? (and I smelt alcohol on his breath) Then take it back home and make it LHD again Or a steering wheel on both sides The pic is standing at the front looking under the 'hood' The fuel tank goes above the 2 plates between the front wheels

Or you can get one of these.... an Auto Union Kombi. Steering wheel is about in the middle, and you can have someone sit on either side of the driver giving stop signs and turn signals by hand. Don't ask me how I know

Don't ask me how I know Yeah, that would be good.... and.... you wouldn't need side intrusion bars or side airbags.... the passengers would volunteer to take the hit for you
