I liked the bench seats though
I am surprised that there are cars still sold in the US with bench seats. I had to special-order a bench seat and wait three months for delivery!

Bench seats are standard equipment in a Ford pickup truck, in the LX version.

Not when you drive a pickup, there is always a bed available. :laugh: :-O

Good luck. They didn't even give me that option. And then the hand brake was a pedal on the floor, the lights were just plain wierd, plus the steering wheel was on the wrong side !!! Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
I drove in Germany for a couple of weeks and had no trouble - apart from the only thing I could afford was a Smart car. Smart cars are good though, you get out and then pick it up and put it in your handbag :laugh: The tigress is here :-D

I rented a Smart in France earlier this year and loved it! Of course, my own car is a Kia, and not just any Kia, it's the smallest one they make :-) If they made one smaller I'd probably buy it! Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++ My blog http://blogs.wdevs.com/ultramaroon/[^]

Isn't that where the brake is supposed to be? :~
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." -Jörgen Sigvardsson
My first car (a series 2 landrover) had the headlight main beam/dip switch as a button on the floor under the clutch pedal...:doh: '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

Worldy and travelled folks, do any of you know of a company that can hire me a manual transmission European style car from LAX? [Los Angeles international airport] '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

This last winter (I'll clear things up -- last December) I was in Australia and I drove for about ten days. I was just so confusing at the end to always be thinking "turn left and keep left" or "watch out on the *other* side"... but after a few days I kind of got used to it. One thing that always got me was confusing the turn signal lever with the windshield wipers. It just happens that the turn signal is on the door side (read: left side) so when I wanted to turn, I always had to think or else I would turn the wipers on! I never got used to that....... ..... until I came back home. It took me about two weeks to stop looking for the turn signal lever on the right side of my wheel :doh: It was a nice experience driving on the wrong side of the road! :-D -- LuisR

Yeah, that took me a day to get used to, as well :-) Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
