One of our managers at work finally got his MGB over here from home today. He's British, and has been waiting for it for over a month.
'66, Old English White, black interior with white piping, overdrive and Minilites. RHD, of course.
I'll see if I can get some pictures the next time he drives it in. It's a sweet looking B

Sweet!! We had a lovely red '67 back in the 'Old Days' and it was a joy.
 
That sounds like my perfect MGB. Love to see some shots.
 
Jeff:

That sounds very nice, I would love to see some pics.

Remind him what side of the road we drive on over here /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

I've found it more difficult to "unlearn" driving on the "wrong" side than adapting to the first change. For the first few weeks on return to the States I would find myself ~almost~ going the wrong way and being slightly confused for a tick (where AM I, again?!?!). Weird.
 
I asked him today when he was going to bring it to work again, as I wanted to take some pictures. He said he'd let me know beforehand, but he wanted to do some cleaning first.
I also gave him a BCF card. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

I spent some time in Australia this year driving around on the other side of the road. I found that the stick shift car was easier than the auto... I was concnetrating more on driving with the stick that with the auto...

WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY!!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Had a great time... Dove the Great Barrier Reef and just plain enjoyed myself.. Go there if you can... well worth the price.

I am going back next year. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif

I must second Doc's experience. After spending 2.5 years in Japan, I had issues with driving on the right side of the road... the nervous looks on the faces of Marines awaiting discharge when Seps Company made me the "duty driver" for a day was priceless. Luckily, I got out of the habit of driving on the left before I went home. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
