No but I have some nice car stereo equipment I'd be bringing. Used electroncs up here are hard to sell for a worth while price. I'm sure what ever I buy down under wont have as good a stereo as I have now

Like Iain said, earth is negative.

But since, in my minds eye, i'm viewing you upside down, you are(!) driving on the right side. I'm a bit worried how it will feel driving upside down. Do you get dizzy?:D

Saw a doco recently, apparently the yanks only started to drive on the right hand side of the road to be different,(independence and all that) then the French followed the idiots because the were not friends with the Brits.
But the horse draw vehicle that the car was created from still has a "near side" (left) and an off side (right). which means the Lady passenger doesn't get out on the safe side in US, they have to dodge the traffic , more interesting I guess.

I thought it was to do with mounting a horse from the left side, just watch the yippee's, although what you say stems from the same idea.
