Oh come on man...American indeed. wink.gif

England drives on the left side...and I think a few other countries do as well. I believe Monaco does. But yes, it is apparently illegal to have a RHD vehicle in the Czech Republic.

To SwissFerdi: In Europe are three countries where driving on left side of the road: UK, Malta and Cyprus. Rest is right side of the road...

To
97celiman: Driving RHD car in CZ (or other LHD countries) it's not quite illegal. I drove with my car as RHD car in LHD countries over 5000miles. Been pulled over by police 4x because they were just curious to see steering wheel on the other side smile.gif. Checked papers and done. However need to say I had UK plates on car. With local registration on RHD car I would need to have special permission from government (not kidding). I talked to THE guy who is giving those permissions via phone and he said I have no chance having it kindasad.gif (because I do not meet all conditions they want like owned car 6month before import etc.). I do not have any issue with RHD cars (after 5000miles on LHD roads smile.gif) so I would keep it as is... however after that phone call I had just one choice. That's whole story.

To
ja_ma: smile.gif agree white is damn nice color. Unfortunately very hard to keep it clean good looking and (you would be surprised) is for me cheaper to change color than keep it in white and follow my SS-four design wink.gif.

and just to be clear...america is lhd? when we say lhd and rhd we are talking about the side of the car the steering wheel is on...not which side you drive on in the country...my brain cannot wrap itself around this crazy concept

Yes LHD (left hand drive) means the side the steering wheel is on.

In the UK we drive on the left side of the road, steering wheel is on the right hand side and its not illegal to drive LHD cars on our roads smile.gif which is good as I really want to get a Mustang!!!

So you transferred everything in front of the A pillars, body wise, to the GT-4? That is a ridiculous amount of work.

I can't wait for the finished product!
