Congratulations on your C4 and welcome the the CF

Also, just curious what the thoughts are down under about GM deciding to build and sale the C8 as a right hand drive?

Hey Gixxerman

she is a LH drive .... awaiting for her to ship from LA .... my brother picked her her from SAN Fran Bay Area only this week ....
the LH will hold price better here in Australia as the conversions can and have been seen to be evasive as dash/firewall steering are all modified.
I am leaving LH as we can drive over here provided 30yrs old ... hence the 1988 model ... and parts readily available from the US...
bit of a retirement present to myself :-) chat soon and drive safe
Thanks again for the welcome
respectfully
Steve
