nessie287 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hi all, my name is Mel, I live in South Lanarkshire and I am new to the forum. I own a LHD 1998 Mondeo 1.8i Zetec estate. The car was an emergency buy when I was in Germany to visit family as my previous car died on the way home. Hope to get some good info and inspiration on the forum.

jeebowhite Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Welcome to the family Mel! So if it was an emergency buy, what prompted you to keep the car after you got back? I would have probably bought a cheapo scrapper to get me back to the coast and swapped later, so did you have this as your plan or did you just look to buy a full replacement owhilst you were out there?

Well, I had to get a car to get home but I also needed to look further ahead. I could not afford to get a cheap scrapper, register it to my name (well, mum's name really), tax it etc. just to scrap it at home and having to buy another car. So it was really a full replacement that was sourced within a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessie287 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Very good Mel! a good choice of car! so how are you finding driving a left hander on the roads over here? We used to drive a right hooker over in Germany so it is basically the same, just on the other side..lol.. The road position is a little different but that's all really, although overtaking is a bit of an issue if I am alone in the car as I can't see that well on the right obviously. But all in all it's ok, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 its just an adjustment period I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
