    Sure is, but that's okay.
    Anything over 30years old doesn't need a conversion. I'm not sure if it's because I've joined this forum but I'm seeing more & more left hand drive old cars around. A really nice old Ford sedan passed me this afternoon with LHDrive and an old lady behind the wheel.
    I'll be getting up into your league with a squire??:)

    The road shoulders look better on the left side.:lolup:

    That's right, you'll be collecting your new project car soon, won't you?(y)

    Yes, I've just paid a deposit on it and just got the transporter quote to ship it over. Works out cheaper than hitching the trailer, loading several tanks of fuel and about three days behind the wheel:):whew:

    Speaking of left hand drive, It would feel safer;).
    I've noticed the latest craze down here seems to be people drifting over the centre line?? Worst seem to be the 4WD's (SUV's) don't know what it is, but it's getting worse......then again it may very well be too many distractions now in the modern car?

    We've got 'hands-free' laws here. Your cell can't be in your hands. If you cause an accident with evidence that you were using it, they can pull your licence and the police can investigate on the basis of a crime, not a mere accident. And the worse ones are SUV drivers. I guess they figure their windows are so high and dark that nobody will notice. They forget that cellphones can be traced for latest calls.

    I stay back from them, about 10 car lengths back. Too many whack jobs at the wheel.

    Looks like a very nice wagon in the PICS!

    Let us know if you scarf it up!

    I'm only watching this one, but I suspect it's got a high reserve on it.
    I am going over to the dark side anyway with the first project a 1965 Ford Falcon deluxe Super Pursuit wagon, wrapping that one up at the moment so should have it in 2 to 3 weeks.
