Yes we do.

Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa and a couple of other places around the world are right hand drive - the reverse of the US, Europe, Canada, Japan and anywhere else that is worthwhile going to

I learnt how to drive a manual in LA many years ago. I found it funny to come back to Oz and have the gear shift on the other side . Luckily the pedals are in the same order (clutch, brake, gofast)

As Lotus is built in the UK the cars come as is. The Alfa on the other hand has to be changed over. Most manufacturers design cars these days to be built either way.

What I did like about the Alfa being changed over is that they keep the indicator controls and headlight stalk on the same side as the europeans have (indicators on left side, headlights right side) so when you go to turn into a corner your left hand just drops past the indicator stalk then straight onto the gear shift to drop a couple of notches. Nice and smoooooth.

Ok so it's probaly not too good on gas mileage or speed but think how great it'd be for road rage and keeping people out of your way even if unloaded...LOL

Heh I'm thinking the gun control advocates and all in the US wouldnt allow me to buy it.. even though Im sure it would be illegal to keep the gun loaded anyway.. And by the looks of it looks like i'd need at least another person to man the gun anyway... still intimidation factor would be high.. who needs a gun when it could just roll right over almost any vehicle out there most likely even a SUV LOL

Now that i read more all guns are deactivated so.. thats ok.. Could you Imagine the confused faces at a Jiffy-lube if you pulled up in something like that? LOL, Umm sir, where do we find the oil filter /drain plug?

10,000 feet? My cabin, and the entire town in which it resides, is at 10,000 feet. (OK, 9953 officially.) (And we even have SOME paved streets!) We have a LOT more trees than that rockpile your standing on. Actually, the treeline is generally around 11,000 feet, so you may have been higher than that 10K. I'm glad you got out of the swamps for awhile anyways.

No actually all of Europe minus the UK drive on the right side of the road with steering on the left side of the car...same for South America, most of Africa (minus S.A.), the Middle East, Korea, ect etc.
