Talking I'll take my chances...

...however, if this certain Japanese driver was driving in my country I'll avoid her at all cost...

...for one thing, like the UK and a number of Asian countries...

...they all drive at the wrong side of the road.

Here in Thailand they also "keep left" that is why I'm not too keen on having a car o f my own here. In the Phils, it's "keep right" for us --- yup, the Yanks must have something to do with this.

So, what do you drive? Colour? Registration? I'll take note so I can drive into you when I see you somewhere in South Wales!

BTW, I drove back the car last evening BY MYSELF (with my brave friend in the nav seat) from Honiton to Longdown, near Exeter.

I'm still alive...

...we don't call it the "navigator's seat"...

...we call it the "death seat".

BTW, glad you're all right.

In the South it is called the same...and when you have more than one person riding with you, it becomes a fight for this honor.


I have witness a fight (Fist and all) for the seat...lasting almost 15 minutes...for a 5 minute drive.

Hehe, we use "Shotgun" for everything - first on the Fooseball table, first to use something. It's a useful word.

I remember fighting for shotgun with my brothers. But then when you're older there is the inevitable fight between shotgun and driver over who gets to chose the radio station . . . .
