Cause the bloke what designed em were left handed

Oddie · May 3, 2008

Coz if it was on the right some pleb would be asking why it wasn't on the left!

It's only normal on the right on cars that are natively left hand drive.

hughesy · May 3, 2008

Because it is. After driving with the cack handed ignition barrel for a while you realise that it's other cars that are wrong not the defender.

Pikey · May 3, 2008

Because the bloody door wuld get in your way if it was on the right.

cos if oddies key fell out it would land in the mud.

I did think that and contemplated that it was clever design to incorporate failure of the steering lock into the design but then thought it's probably just bloody coincidence!!

Aye

The 'Preview Post' thing's a handy thing

chris_mack · May 4, 2008

so wen u let ur mates drive it u can sit there and giggle as they fumble around then look all confused cos they cant find the ignition

boguing · May 4, 2008

Actually, all of the foregoing replies are :-

a) sarcastic

or

b) wrong

It's either:-

1) so that your mate can start it when you're too ****ed to find the hole.

or

2) So that the interior light (once you've found the switch) illuminates to help you find (see above).

bigwill · May 5, 2008

only problem is, in mine you got to have the keys in to get the interior light to work!!

Sirus · May 5, 2008
