Driving will be fine. Just a heads up though people in CA don’t seem to use blinkers much they just turn or change lanes. The excuse I have been told by a native is “Why bother you can tell I’m turning when I turn. “

I've been driving in the US for about 4 years, so i'm pretty good now (by US standards!) - it's when I get back to the UK that I have a brain fart and forget what side of the road i'm meant to be on!

Ask me about love handles I might have an answer for you.
Sweeeeeetttt! Nice bunch of stuff.
I would have it all proudly displayed on my selves of toys at work. Hell wifey might even let me keep that stuff inside (not relegated to the garage) at home. Do you know any of the inside scoop about the move they where supposed to be making. Their web site doesn’t have much new to say about it.
