Would you own a left hand drive?
Just wondered if anyone has owned one, and found it a PITA?
I'm thinking parking tickets, drive throughs' and overtaking are the main issues
There is only one lhd car I have ever wanted (and still want) and am so pissed off that they never made a RHD...

I tend to think "you peasant" when I see a LHD Fezza which can be had in RHD
But then again, may just mean they spend most of their time aborad in some large holiday home, with live in ho's etc...

Nothing to worry about.
My first car, which I learned to drive in (along with my mum's Accord), was LHD - an ancient '72 Fiat 127 brought here by my a friend's cousin.
Lot of LHDs followed - an Ex Paris-Dakar Citroen, a '70 Mach 1, an '86 Camaro IROC, a Ford Bronco, a '71 Mustang, a Chevy G20... up to the current LHD vehicle of choice - a '72 Continental.
It's handy for getting out of the car on the kerb. And insofar as overtaking is concerned I've never had any issues.
My wife drove the Bronco (manual BTW too!), IROC and G20 on a daily basis too.

Mark, you still being thinking about a 360? Looks like my mate is going for one next year, hes after a Spider in red with cream or tan. We went looking in Exeter at the weekend, i'm going to hate him for it!

I'd love one Jim, but i've been put off a little bit after talking to my dealer man. Lots of iffy ones out there it seems
Not totally put off though, and am going to decide on what car in a few months when I see where I will be living in my time off.
Did you get a go in one?
I currently have an obsession with the Z8

Didnt get a spin in one, think he'll wait till hes ready to buy before trying one!
Z8s are nice, I quite like the Alpina version as well but it never got a great rating.
Another mate who had an RS6 has sold it now and picks up a yellow Sagaris off PHs tomorrow. Hes got a proper deal on it!
