Since you guys are upside down and all I was wondering if you have the ground on your cars the other way round also. Is the ground on a car pos or neg for you folks.

No we're not, you are, just that most people view north as up when it should be south.
Only the Poms use +earth and a few Fiats I've seen.
Most of our cars, and Holden and Ford who think they are cars( :D ) run a -earth.
Why? Are you going to bring your car with you ? :confused:Quote:

We drive on the correct side of the road.
Are you suggesting we have to stick to one side of the road? :eek:

P (You must be counting sleeps!)
Any truth in the rumour that in Jan 2006 the poms are changing to driving on the right hand side of the road. Trucks start on 1st and cars etc three days later!
Load of bollocks!! your getting us confused with Europe Jackoh which of course used to be owned by us but we got rid of it years ago as none of them could speak properly. Any way if and when we do decide to let them back theyll have to drive properly, none of this **** to tit nonsense. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/au...smiley-003.gif http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/au...smiley-003.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifQuote:

Is it raining in the U.K? It's pixxing down here in Godzown and 12 c when it should be fine and about 25! :eek:
Us Aussies always drive faster when the roads are nice and wet and greasy, and our cars often end up upside down, probably something to do with gravity being the opposite way round leading to less traction, or we drive on the right(left) side of the road and should drive on the wrong(lright)'cause water goes down the plug'ole in a clockwise, or is it anti-clockwise direction.... :confused: I wish I had'nt started this, I'm outta here.and it's still bloody raining. :(
weve had the lot here today mate. London and a lot of the east with very heavy snow. Rain and high winds in lots of other parts as well as hail. Real mixed bag. Lovely where i am though but stuck in my office all day.Quote:

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

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.
