are you sure they come in RHD? I thought they were US Domestic market LHDs
only.

Serving with some Brits in Desert Storm (as a U.S. Marine), they were very
happy to see Yank Tanks driving near their convoys... And I did learn about
the 11am morning tea time, no matter what was going on!!

Yes, British soldiers learn quickly to always keep their American friends in
view so you can see where they are firing and duck!

Elevenses you mean! After a couple of thousand years of wars, we've learnt
some little bits of civilisation retained during war keeps ones soldiers
human.

And no offence intended about the vehicles listed on the website, they are
just not very well suited to narrow Manchester streets! ;-)

But of course they are. You just need to drive them with
sufficient velocity to trim the edges of those streets back
far enough to allow a real vehicle to get thru. >

American cars aren't really noted for the standard of their build quality -
I think the victorian stone and brick buildings of Manchester might just win
that one. . . . . . . ;-)

I dunno 'bout all that.

The quality of my Jaquar Mk10 was marginal at best. If I didn't
take it over 100-mph every week, it would stutter and shake
until I let it loose. And it was a rust bucket, to boot. Despite
that, it was a marvelous car to drive.

For serious trucking, though, my International Harvester
Travelall was head and shoulders above any of the blokemobiles
that it faced-down on East Anglian roads.

This was back in the late '70s.

I made a big mistake when, in a weak moment, I gave The
International to my daughter. But that was several years after we
brought it back to the States. The Jaguar? It's probably sitting
in some farmer's barn outside of Mildenhall. Or has been
converted to razor blades.

You mean to say that a simple cart-sprung pick-up truck turned out to be
sturdier than a 15 year old highly tuned Jag? No, really! ;-)
