that's a great shot in front of the opera house... if only you could have moved those pesky trees to the side...

none the less... great pics.

Dont think I could ever really drive a car that has the stearing on the right & the stick on the left. I know this is an auto, but I have a stick. I would think that on the other side of the pond, thay say the same thing about our set up.
Is that what you were talking about

You get used to it-really fast.

Just about the time you encounter your first round-a-bout!

It's sink or swim!

I really dont know it seems backwards to me.
A friend back in High School had a old mail truck
he said it was easy to get use to.
I would also think if you are a lefty it would be easer.

Yep - this a one of the best Xfire pics on ther forum I reckon. The driver is woody from Leicestershire, England. He is a keen track day driver and I had the pleasure of riding shotgun with him this year. woody realy knows the limits of his car and picks up the rear wheel on every corner. He puts in very quick times and realy mixes it with the Porsches

Steve - UK - Newark England - '05 Aero Blue Coupe
Read his first post here

These were the first pics of the car when I just got her home - though she looks well here, the pics dont show what a mess the wheels and tyres were in and other numerous bits of damage which over time have all been corrected. The car was originally bought as a wedding present by its first owner for his 24 year old wife. He was 56 (get the picture now!) She could not handle the car and got into all sorts of scrapes with it and finally sold it to me when she got in the family way!

Is there something unusual about this pic ??

I know - its right-hand-drive!
but remember, it was designed by an Englishman!

Anyone know what the little switch is for next to the headlamp switch? Headlamp leveling switch perhaps?

Yep you are quite right - it has three positions and levels the headlights, dont you have that feature in the US?

No such switch or feature on our US models.
Pretty cool though

Hey, woody will be very proud that you are using it, I will tell him tommorrow! - I too did the same for a good while!
His next project is to put a team together to enter a Xfire in a 24 hour race over here (same as Le Mans) - just waiting for more details, looks like I will be helping out
Cheers Steve
