Joking aside, upsides:
Easily 700 miles from a tank
2500m later, I'm not crippled. Surprising comfortable. And thats without really properly adjusting the seats for me
Easy, effortless drive, if somewhat down on power
Some fun in the twisties, yet unexciting

Surprising , they get slated for the seats comfort

You should try a VXR, oh my they're bloody lovely 

I suspect that would wipe the first 2 upsides off the list

Longest jouney was about 400m in a day, so all quite easy. At no point did I feel the need to stop due to discomfort...  ...boredom maybe . Esp when you get on a motorway, and the next satnav instruction is keep left (ie, stay on motorway) in 167 miles

I cant imagine myself driving in UK..  I cant pass the roads as a pedestrian, let alone driving.. many times I was warned

interestingly Brits, here adopt very quickly

I tend to have no trouble driving on the right, either in RHD car or LHD car. Obvioulsy LHD is easier.

I guess more Brits are used to doing both, as UK is (in euroland) the odd one out.

I like driving manual cars in Euroland, 1st gear is closest to you, so in traffic i find it a lot easier, bit more fun too

Indeed... I actually have more trouble switching bach to the correct side when we get home

A few years back the SatNav made us both jump... Been on the same motorway with no instructions for 600 odd Km and then she piped up

Seats in the VXR's are lovely, and it's comfortable when in normal mode, put it in VXR mode and it gets a bit crashy. 325 BHP, 4 wheel drive and effortless pulling power make up for the poor fuel economy though  .

Nah, strogest hand on the important bit - the direction control device

You've been hanging around gayboy too much

I have come to accept there are some inferior drivers to me (difficult to believe), and they are prone to making mistakes. I try not to let it get to me any more.  Mrs TB, however, she has a wave for every occasion
