    I've raced LHD cars but never driven LHD on our roads.
    Thoughts on a LHD car for rallies?
    Keeping in mind I don't drive fast on open roads.
    Few options out there in the way of LHD Daytona's or GTC's

    They won't be much cheaper in real terms so really why bother? Set a budget and get the best rhd car you can afford. Forget about this Aussie delivered bs as well

    I've driven a few LHD American cars('60s Mustangs mainly) in Sydney traffic & semi rural areas. Bit if a PITA especially on a wet day with '60s wiper coverage& a grubby windscreen. Briefly had a LHD Renault 5 in the UK. Driven a couple of borrowed RHD cars in France. Overtake with care....

    It's doable, with a bit of concentration - not if you're tired or Pi**ed, though.

    Reckon it'd be fine for a club day/rally - fun, probably. There is an upside....absolute piece of Pi** to reverse park!

    Just looking at all my options,I'm thinking if its a better car and LHD then I'm better of then a lesser RHD car.
    They are cheaper depending on he model.
