Driving abroad whilst in England

A tip for all drivers coming back from holiday.
Let a fellow builder have a go in my newly turboed bec today, (will not name him) YET.
After a good look round the car, he turned out of my works exit onto the dual carridgeway, but, on the wrong side of it . Shooting out of my works thinking my toy is dead i ran up the road, lucky for Mr X he stopped and we got the car round in the right direction and he was away, got some very odd looks mind.
So just be careful out there.





Thank's, Joe

It was the main Dual Carriageway past Joe's work. I think it's the A6...

Oh the shame...

It's part of the changeover.

We are going over to driving on the right, all cars registered after 2000 change over in August, all those before change in September

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If you recall the last time some "genius" did that and used THAT excuse he customised his rather nice Omega into a not so nice Cavalier!

Oh the memories...

I did a similar thing in Assen one year (Dutch TT) I drove out of the campsite and up the wrong side of the road for quite a while until I figured out what everyone was flashing me for

Sorry to rub more salt in your wounds Steve but that is so Funny

Was it worth it though, Did it convince you bec turbo is the only way to go?

With a bit of luck my new Turbo should be here next week, I cant wait it seems so slow with only 150hp

Welderman are you happy with it was it worth all the effort?

Cheers Dave................

i would not go as far as ripping off his testicles but, i could have kept his car though, then a small matter of flying ???? would not have happened.
