You forget Dave. I drove rather more left hand drive cars than right hand ones.
Girls in
London in those days were always more attracted to cars with the "wheel on the
wrong" side
than ordinary UK domestic versions. Of course, there's always a remote
possibility they
might have been attracted to the driver but in such cases it's likely they only
had 1/20
vision.
