yes i am very ignorant..so far it has cost me 2790.to get it to sydney..
another 2200 to get it thought customs so far.......and i found out after it was basically allready here..that i needed import approval first or i could be prosecuted....luckily i got approved..the car is still in a warehouse over here..
my shipping company in the states could of helped me alot more...they let me remain igornant.....i guess no one would ship a car over here if they knew all the cost and hassle....and no i will not have to get it switched to right side drive.....but i am getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road though..and all the roundabout things..good luck to me..i hope to see my car someday..i will not ship the other 2 stangs over here anytime soon..

I drove a left hand drive honda when I lived in the UK. It was kind of goofy. especially since I was on the wrong side of the car and driving on the wrong side of the road (to me at least)

Then I bought a right hand drive volvo. Shifting with my left hand was wierd. Good thing the pedals were normal.

I remember driving a military jeep in the far east while I was in the service. You learn to drive on the "correct" side of the road when you see a tank coming at you.
