Jeff,
Well, now I'm embarrassed !! Anyhow, I hope mine runs as well when I take
you for a ride. And you'll sit on the passenger side, the "right" side. :)
I must admit a somewhat unusual feeling sitting on the left side and not
driving, a bit unnerving for the first little bit.
Just don't know how you Brits do it, on the wrong side of the road and
everything ! (VBG)
