At least it is not upside down! Which I understand can happen to a LHD car if transported to Australia. Crikey!

Congrats and ENJOY!

Not only is his steering wheel on the wrong side, so is his ignition key

I will never understand how right handed people can shift with the left hand.
I can barely open a soda can with my left.
How much in US dollars is costing you to fill up the gas tank?

Thanks guys!

To fill up the tank it costs me $65 AUS which is $50 US. What does it cost you guys?

PerfectLap: I am also tragically right handed, but when I drive in the US, it fells weird for me to change gears with my rigt hand.

The only thing I'm not sure about on the car is the red seatbelts.....

In high school my buddy had a Jaguar with the steering wheel on the right.

Never got a chance to drive it, but is was really strange to be sitting in the front in the driver's seat and not be driving !

Great looking car, kouks ! Congrats and enjoy...

Nick

very similar petrol prices here. I think I got slightly more than half a tank for $25 US. So it would have been $45-50 to fill the tank.

Red seat belts are cool! Very Sports car...
