    Well, what does that have to do with maneuvering?

  5. One can tell a right-sider nube cager in a left-sider country. The
    wipers instead of the turn indicators are in motion at a stop. :)

    How does that work, then? - 'cos I've never owned a car with the stalks
    reversed.

    The one I rode in seemed to be made out of balsa wood, reject electrical
    components, and recycled Airfix kits.

  9. Bugger. My smallest bike is a 250 single. I'd be up for it, though. Can
    we have a 250cc limit?

    The lever to the right of the column is the gear change lever. It is
    cranked so that it sits quite high when in 'park'

    I'm also dumb-founded. I've had lots of experience with French cars and
    have found that in general, build quality is shite.

  14. Actually, I was being facetious. Having driven on Japanese highways,
    made the erroneous assumption that all controls in left-hand-drive cars
    cars in the world are standardised. They are not. IMO, best explanation
    is from the following:

    Sorry.

    Reliable, didn't fall apart, quick, handled, loads of storage space,
    spacious, extremely comfy, quiet, rattle-free and cheap to run. That's
    what made it a good car in my eyes. It was amazingly well built for a
    Citroen.

    They never made a nice Bantam of any variety, so I don't know where
    you're going to find one.

  18. Shite old Vauxhall and Bedford CA - strange, but quite useable.
    Istr the Austin A60 van had it on the left too, but I only drove that
    briefly.
