G'day
Might I remind all you blokes that the motor car was not invented in the
US and that for some time into the 20th Century right hand drive was the
standard around the world.
It was only when some drongo in the US decided to move the steering
wheel over to the left that LHD came into being. Being lemmings you all
followed.
It's only sensible countries that remained RHD and remember the first
Healeys and Austin-Healeys were RHD.

well almost)

You might add that the car is RHD. While that too can be changed, it is
considerable work. If it stays that way it might stand out well in
another
country. Relatively few of the cars were RHD.
