RHD is a deal killer for me.

You know, I used to think the very same thing until somebody informed me that the RHD vehicles have more room on the drivers side since that's how they were originally manufactured to be. They normally have drivers on that side.

Marc said that's why he kept his that way anyways.

Considering I'm a bigger guy, that's appealling to me.

Although, I've never driven a LHD series so, it might not be that bad.

RHD Series are pretty tight in the drivers seat already.

Quit being scared, there is no problem with RHD.

Drive-through windows suck, but you shouldn't eat fast food anyways.

Tool booths can be a problem, but you probably shouldn't be driving a Series on 195 anyways.

Dont need to worry about passing anyone.

I never understand the RHD hate. I've had both and could care less where I sit.

the only time i care is when you can't see out the back. First RHD series defender i drove was a full canvas 2 door 110. i could see shit around me. i was all over the place trying to figure out if other cars where around me (four lane city street). i ended up turning around a block later.

the RHD D90 hard top with the side windows i drove was fun and easy though.

my real beef with RHD is that you have to shift "out" to put it in first. this is a real problem since i'm right handed and the trucks i drove generally had reverse right next to first gear.

if it's an R380. i don't really mind though.

Not quite ,

I had it on d90, then I sold it at Auction and a LR Dealer in PA bought it, after a while they sold it to the TX dealer
i stand corrected. i knew it went the auction rout at some point though.
