Agreed. I think the only RHD cars I would ever consider would be R33 or R34 GT-R. Small small chance of a TVR. There's just so many good LHD cars out there, and RHD seems like such a pain in the dick.

Try the Stranger first. See if you like it.

RHD isn’t too bad… the important thing is to not use it as a daily driver… not cause of the steering wheel placement, but cause it’s gonna be a 15+ year old car and likely to have hard to source replacement parts. But as a toy, LHD/RHD… meh, not a big deal. The only thing that throws you when switching back and forth is wiper/turn signal placement. Once had the same chassis in both configurations and that would get me every damn time. Also insurance, what’s that like these days?

Im picking up a new daily which is a RHD and guess they can only do liability coverage on them these days. Not sure if thats just intact but i have heard some companies can fully insure them.

what did you get?

[ragu]

Yes, c63 amg, rs4, v10m5… can have all in wagon format out of Japan or European market… nothing else comes to mind. I agree re RHD, but Europe is LHD and gets more cars than us.

[gyromonkey]

Cooperators offers full coverage on RHD cars.

How easy is it to ship from Europe? Japan seems like a well travelled path with a pretty good system. Haven't heard of too many importing LHD from Europe, guessing maybe Germany is the best ?

I'd call it Kermit. LHD ones available too - in Mexico of all places.
probably not on anyone's desirable list but i'm weird that way.

You got that right. Only thing worse than RHD is FWD.

If you want Japanese(JDM) you can also get them sourced from the UK. The JDM imports come under the grey import market from Japan. Can't remember if its still done. Growing up there were a lot of imported Supras and Skylines in my hood in the late 90s.

Speaking of UK… getting close to the KTM x-bow being legal

Was that AWD like the last focus RS?

[Homerrca]

I know its not after 2005 but maybe a few vw bugs from Mexico. I believe they stopped making that style in 2003.
