LHD cars very useful for kerb crawling Wayne.
Off topic (but we're on the second page now so it must be okay!!

), a few years ago when the pound vs the Euro was at extremely good exchange rates and everyone was shooting off abroad to buy their brand new cars (this was when all these discount brokers appeared), it also became popular to import mint low mileage original shape M3s and Golf G60s, I know of a guy who bought a Golf G60 from Germany to sell on for a profit.
He got the car back into his home town late at night after driving it back from Germany, so last port of call was for some food before bed. He pulled into our local Maccy Ds and immediately realised that the intercom was then on the passenger side, he had no passenger, and the windows were manual winders. He was stuck, couldn't order so had to drive round the building and then
reverse through the drive through section to make his order.
