Hi Guys,
Thank you all for your compliments on my truck,I felt the same when I first veiwed it,probably not as much drooling as peter,no key board damage here.
The lid stays on.
The emblem was put on by the previous owner,some connection to the southern cross constellation,I think.as for the current tyres,they are the smallest you can fit on the rims,due to previous owners parking in under ground garage. for all you left hookers,its easy to drive a right hooker.Just remember to drive on the correct side of the road.
Regards

GM.

Got the opposite issue here 'course - drivng LHD in the UK. Only time its a problem is on motorways, really - as you have a great big blind spot next to you when you go to overtake... :oops:

But back to the subject - yep, neat truck.
It aint what you drive, its the way that you drive it...

Peter...Duh! :lol: On my next wager I'd have bet it all on you liking RH drive. I'm glad to know that would be a safe bet.

How's your weather Down Under? Did you get any relief from the drought yet? We are going into fall here. Today it is only supposed to get to about 74 F.

Cheers.
