Good looking slattie, Mark! Why do you guys drive on the wrong side of the road over there, though? :lol:

Thank's Mark, I did enjoy watching that. You have a great looking jeep, nice jacket also, very sharp.

Wish I could drive my jeep around, but here in Ga. this dam Global Warming keep's us inside, last night we got 3" of snow, and 13 deg's with the wind blowing.

Thank's again for the video. :wink:

Thanks for your comments guys. Errr the jacket is the wifes, she has GOT to look the part in the jeep, i liked it that much i got one myself. As for driving on the wrong side of the road, i feel more comfortable driving a left hand drive, than i do with our standard right hand drive.(mind you it is a jeep) :lol:

Also guys, my apologies for the U.K. Birmingham accent, we all sound like that in these parts, we are known to the rest of the U.K. as Brummies. When visiting America, due to my accent i am often asked what part of Australia i come from.!!!! :o

Honestly, not sure I'd ever want to drive a right hand drive vehicle. I mean, it can already be confusing enough driving in a foreign country as it is! Kudos for being able to go back and forth between the two :lol:

Sean, when i first come to America, a good few years ago, i hired a car, after driving a left hand drive on English roads, when i drove the hire car on the right hand side, it totally messed my head up for a couple of days. Luckily i was with a friend, and just followed what he did.
