    G'Day!

    Nice truck, love the tires/hubcaps and the raised bed.

    As long as we're asking for trucks from Down Under...I'd LOVE an old Holden!

    Welcome to the site! Nice looking truck! So I guess everything is backwards down under huh? The water when you flush the toilet goes the opposite way and so do windshield wipers. LOL. :D

    Windshield wipers is actually a funny thing...when I spent some time down under, it was easy to drive on the wrong side of the car, and the wrong side of the road (ok, "wrong" is a matter of perspective) BUT...

    I couldn't get used to the turn signals and the wipers being on opposite sides of the steering column. Almost every time I turned, I turned on the wipers instead of the turn signals! This was a bit annoying, but after a while I could tell other drivers who were on the "wrong side" too...because they would turn on their wipers at every turn, just like me!

    are your indicators/wipers on opposite sides to ours? I thought it was only euro cars that were like that! my mum (mom to you guys haha) has an astra, which i think is an opel in the states, that has the same arrangement and i get so confused when i drive that!

    Haha i remember being in the states ang going to hop in the passenger seat and finding a steering wheel.. u guys are weird ;)

    smctoy yeah im on DUT a lot ive seen you there and i used to see you on yotascene when i was on there a while back

    Super neat Holden...and now that you mention it, I remember walking up the to the "drivers side" wen Down Under to get into cars and being surprised to *not* find a steering wheel there! It's a little shocking/disturbing when it happens.

    I bought a Jeep DJ5 (old US Postal Jeep) when I got back to the states...right hand drive, got quite used to getting in on that side (but the signals/wipers were in the right place)...but often my passenger would walk to the same side as me, thinking I was going to open the door for them!

    Once again...G'Day!
