Looks like Tickford handled Australian RHD conversions.

And all is well until cat decides it wants to go out through the windshield opening, simulating a terrifying frontal collision in which your cat is thrown from the truck and lying in a mangled heap at your feet.

He’s absolutely right about that parking brake lever needing attention. Even when you’re not drifting, it’s frustrating because you can’t pull it straight up without leaning over the console. You end up pulling the lever at an angle, which can’t be good for the mechanism.

Automatic ignition systems are for GLORY BOYS who don’t know how to drive cars like REAL MEN

Go see one in person when they hit dealerships. It is much better in three-dimensions.

I wish I had an army, so I could also meme with extreme prejudice.

No, but I do, and always have. It’s my job.

Thanks for sharing Andrew, it’s a great story. I actually just found a guy who has one leg and has a R32 Skyline GTR with the “duck clutch,” allowing him to drive a manual using only his left foot. The clutch is servo-actuated, with a control trigger on the shifter. I can’t wait to try it, I bet it’s hard as fuck.

Trust me, there’s no template designed for something this dumb.

It looks mechanically very similar to the soft top. It isn’t nearly as different as the convertible versus targa 911s.

Yeah, you’re right, I was talking about the successful Clinton years, 93-01, not the 01-09 Bush II fiasco, I just idiotically fucked up the dates.
