    Great to here from you again. Thought you might have been gone forever:eek:. Hope you have been okay and some mind shattering events didn't keep you away from your buddies across the pond. Fill us in on what's been happening.

    You know...

    The last thing I remembered was you were bad-mouthing the G... I warned you about that, and then you disappeared! I thought, "Crumbs! I was just kidding about the curse and all!!!" I even threw a thought out your way on one of these posts and got nothing back. I am relieved to know that you're OK and back with us! I have missed your "insight"!:cool:

    All is well with the world again! Strike that- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhh KEVIN!!!! Where ARE you?!!!:confused:

    He came over here for a couple of days and our ex prime minister and Bush were talking about 'legacy' and 'history' and it now has dawned on them how bad they will be thought of. Blair, Bush, too late guys, you should have thought about this a bit longer instead of being 'gun ho' and steaming in to the mire!

    Neil,
    Have thought of you often the last several months because we have a 31 Model A from the UK here in the shop. Total restoration and the steering is being switched from the right side to the left which is backwards for a car going back to the UK. Another Model A owner eagerly traded out with him. I would think passing would be tricky where you have to be completely out from behind the leading car before you could see but, I guess Mod A's passing anything is a rare event. Glad to have you back.

    Switching it from normal to cackhanded!! why??? it is ok driving a wrong sided car or truck over here, been driving them pretty much since getting my license. even a 34ft imported motor home with a 31ft trailer hanging on the back, that was fun! you gotta be real brave when overtaking i can tell you, better to have someone riding shotgun to shout when not to!

    RHD Model 'A'

    I certainly hope you're going to save all the tiny fiddly bits needed to made that model 'A' RHD ! they're getting impossible to find these days .

    Here Stateside we used to have scads and scads of RHD Model 'A's as they were imported as hobby cars forever it seems , mostly from Argentina but they don't like to let them out anymore .
