Some of the guys hang on S2Ki.com as well. ( There are quite a few German owners sporting my products in their cars and most of them speak English just fine).

Also, in response to the query about rhd vs lhd in Europe:

Germany and Austria use LHD so any S2000 sold in Germany or Austria will be LHD unless bought in places like Great Britain, France, etc

Woah, before we vagabond off into the unknown:

The UK, including Ireland, is the only place in Europe whetre people drive on the left side of the road and where cars are sold as RHD.

France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Andorra etc. are ALL LHD countries.

It's only the UK (and the countries it once counted as colonies that are RHD).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it goes back to the time when car...riages were pulled by horses, and the manner in which the latter were harnessed: there were two ways of harnessing horses, the British way and then the rest of the world's way (as always ).

With the Brit's system, when you reined the horses in violently, they would pull to the left. Carriages would thus drive on the left side of roads and trails so as to avoid frontal collision.

With the other system, it was the opposite and therefore the carriages would be "driven" on the right.
