I can see many wheelspinning incidents in the days ahead I can't wait!! I am not going to be able to sleep this week... Here's the interior btw - definitely needs a good clean, bet it looks crazy to you left hand drivers!! Last edited by Akita; Sep 12, 2004 11:08am.

I'd get confused and crash the car. It's like trying to write a note with my left hand.
