If I had to pass a slower vehicle I had to lean way over to the right to see oncoming traffic. ok i bite on this one, if you were driving on the left hand side which means you were sitting on the right hand seat of the car so unless you were drivng a car with left hand drive and off course you would have to lean to the right to see to overtake.

It works pretty well. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
July 23, 20223 yr Yes Peter. I had a Toyota Tiara with left hand drive we bought at the base exchange at Tachikawa Air Force Base. I brought it back to the United States with and it was one of the first Toyotas to hit the road over here. I was occasionally topped by a police car wanting to know what kind of a car it was. Also, driving official Air Force vehicles which all had left hand drive we had to lean way over to the right to see oncoming traffice. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot.

When we moved to Georgia a while back my secretary placed two thing on my desk for me to see when I arrived for my first day in the office. One was a book... "How Tp Speak Southern". The other was a reminder that at a four-way stop, the right-of-way goes to guy with the biggest tires....Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

July 23, 20223 yr Did you ever learn how to speak Southern Doug? Whenever I visit my daughter and granddaughter and great grandkids in South Carlina I could use a book like that. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

July 23, 20223 yr Moderator Fortunately, I've never lost my Southern accent and have been able to shed my Yankee accent like an old coat... ...since I now live among the Ozark mountains of southwestern Arkansas. 🤪 Fr.

July 24, 20223 yr Author This is a nice drive around the nearby island of Jersey. Bigger than Guernsey. My daughter has to nip across on a Blue Islands ATR 72 500 frequently for work, a mere 10 minute flight.
July 29, 20223 yr Author This is what the West Coast is like. Lovely beaches. My favourite part of the island. Pricey houses though. Lovely Sunday lunches at The Imperial. World War 2 bunkers on the left at 2:51 and 2:58. Edited July 29, 20223 yr by martin-w
