I lived in the UK -carried my LHD Triumph GT6 sports car... no matter how long (3 years) I drove there... it felt wrong! Also, we visit St. Thomas USVI frequently... also drives on the left but American cars. Very strange.

Yeah...
And what about the feeling when you see from behind a RHD vehicle movin' by in your country (or viceversa)? Looks like nobody is driving it...

- January 14, 2016, 13:00:57 PMNice video!
And if my ears are not mistakin', you've had a great time by scrapin' those floorboards on the ground... 
Man, watchin' that video reminds me the first time that I drove on the left side of the road, in England...Shocking!!!
But most of all, it was such a great pain in the a$$ each time I arrived at a roundabout: I started to look left, but the traffic was coming from the right!!!

Really awesome, Oz's answer to the Dragon's Tail...lol....and even there the dumb ass's on sport bikes have to try and push you on a cruiser and make you ride like they want you to, bet it was a lot of fun though.......

- January 12, 2016, 18:26:33 PMWell winter debates aside, I have 2 more longer trips [3 days plus] planned, 1 later this month [Ararat in Victoria] and one in March [Broken Hill, NSW] so I will try to post more pics when I can. I have no issues with the hijacking as I am as my sign off says, a man of few words.
Regards

Well, we know enough about it to live in the South!! Had to break out my long sleeve shirts last week-end - but got too warm and had to revert to the short sleeves... (Actually, was 19 yesterday night and I had to drain the camper water lines. But will be in the 50's this weekend.)
