Had my first drive of my LHD yesterday. I actually find it easier than what I expected. Have no issues at all except getting in and out of carparks where you have to grab a ticket. You have to get out of the car and walk to the ticket dispenser, doh...馃槧

always, always take a passenger - they are invaluable when it comes to toll collection booths and carpark ticket dispensers !

or if you are feeling creative - drive in backwards 馃榾

i had a passengers ride in a chev a long time ago and he had a lipstick camera in the right hand mirror and a small screen in the dashy worked well for overtaking

LHD rocks, I use to love cruising in KG with my young son in the passengers seat, they always had to look twice馃榿

Would be great to drive lhd here, when i was in canada last year it took a while to get used to especially giving way, and every time i wanted to change gear i kept hitting the door.

Yeah, it's no biggie. 5 mins behind the wheel and you're right - have driven LHD most days for the last 4 years. Ha, reverse parks are a breeze! Etoll would be a good investment. Passengers are good too though, eh jedidan?! As for overtaking, well that issue doesn't come up too often in a 1600 camper! 馃槀

Question is Raf, what LHD car were you driving??

Mind you if you're an owner of a particularly nice and shiny orange 'left-hooker' camper with a bench seat, then it should be no problems in paying the toll lady ! 馃槈

A bit of vaseline and you'll slide quickly to the opposite side, eh Rohan !!!!

Hey Steve (rexy) that's hilarious
Steve (Matara), its a 912. I love it so far although it is running like a dog. Carbies need sync'ing. Give me single carby anytime
