From Crowthorne to London
This is a quicky people.
Saturday's trip from Crowthorne to London looked like this:
Very nice, you're thinking. Lady Penelope has highlights.. Mostly this photo was taken to show the right-hand steering wheel in Lady P's car and as an attempt to show the speedometer, which doesn't show up all that well.
Zeroing in on the speedometer you'll notice:
We eventually climbed over 90 but stopped short of 95. And that's miles per hour folks, not kilometers. (On the way to the boonies, which I'll blog about later, we did top out over the magic 100 mph.)

Lady_P sure loves her small Ferrari. But dont believe the speedometer....Its a sales tric...to indicate more then the car really does......

Will you do any driving yourself Delmer? I hated driving on the wrong side of the road when I was in Europe, aged 24. I don't think I could do it now, 16 years later.

Jack: The car *is* surprisinly fast for one so small.
Michael: I drove just a bit for maybe half a mile. I failed to pay attention to warnings of "you're too close to the curb" and managed to bang into it twice.
We were on Lady P's street and with no traffic. I think I'd be a hazard on the larger roads.

Driving a left hand car in the UK isnt half as difficult as driving that right handed one with a build in deviation to the left....lol
