    Here's a pretty good question.

    So are left hand drive cars as valuable, or sawed after to Europeans as to a right hand drive car to us Americans, question I've been wondering.

    Well, my friend from Leeds was dying to get his hands on a California licence plate when he visited lol.
    Not sure if that means anything.

          you realize that when you say "europeans" you're failing pretty hard, right?

          only the british drive on the wrong side of the road with rhd. i've known a lot of brits who dont consider themselves european either. they're british. that's why they still use the pound, not the euro.

            MEH the only reason I would want a LHD is so I can fit something like this in.

                I would have it sticking out of the bonnet before I rear mount a turbo. I think that is crazy.

                  I don't see many people chasing after RHD cars with saws.

                    This is some of the most retarded fucking shit I have heard in a while. Are you people even familiar with concept of public education?

                      Lol at you guys thinking Europeans drive RHD cars.


                      In Japan it was apparently "fashionable" to own a LHD car (standard is RHD), this is why you can find JDM bmws that are LHD.

                        i believe the word you were looking for was "sought". Unless you are wondering if folks in Europe(more specifically the UK) like to cut their cars in half.

                          Japan, Hong kong, UK, Australia, New Zealand, British owned isles...a few other countries formally owned by the brits. The rest of the world drives on the "Right" side of the road with the wheel on the Left side of the car.

                          So based on the fact that %80 of the world is LHD, NO, it's probably not nearly the "neato" factor to drive a LHD car in a RHD country as it is for us to drive a RHD car in a LHD country.

                            Ireland & England and a few other small areas are the only right-hand drive. The rest of the world knows what's up.

                              and no, very few germans want a RHD car. It is pretty common to buy up Brit. cars, trailer them over here and part them out (E36M3 is VERY common for the S50s.) for soe reason used cars are dirt cheap over there.
