Re: Right-Hand drive?
It would be OK for off roading though. Sometimes you want to know, just how
far from the right edge of the trail you really are. Like when it's what we
Coloradans call an "embankment", but the rest of the world calls it a
"cliff".

Re: Right-Hand drive?
Too bad it was a scam.
It is federal law that states that new production vehicles imported must be
left hand drive, unless specially permitted, and the Gov can do what they
want. I have driven quite a few British righties here in Ca, and had one
hauled here from Mass. It is a bit weird driving in the gutter when making
right turns, and using turn lanes, but like anything else, you get used to
it. The passing danger is real.
I have had a lot of fun driving this one,

with my 4 year old nephew in the left front seat. A monkey would be even
better.

Thousands of people in the UK drive this way when in Europe mainland.
Haven't heard news reports of thousands being killed on holiday.
Drive within the limitations - if you can't see far enough ahead to
overtake, don't.
A friend of mine has moved to France and still insists on driving his
RHD car in a LHD country. I've done it many times, with no ill effect.
