Were Chrysler Voyagers ever sold in the UK (earlier models)?

    Ehrm.... don't fight over me please.... ;-)

    The reason for bringing a LHD vehicle to the UK is a personal one, I never
    considered it the best or most economical way, in this case I don't have
    much choice.

    I've driven in the UK many times and didn't find LHD a problem. I have
    dropped the original idea of buying a <96 model and am now considering a 98
    Dodge RAM Van or Chrysler Voyager VAN with a preference of a High Roof
    version (already spotted a nice 98 2.5 TD Grand Voyager High Roof which I
    hope to testdrive over the weekend).

    Cheers for all of your suggestions, much appreciated.

  2. All very nice in theory but, I must tell you, from a practical point of view
    you are talking -- to put it rudely but briefly -- piffle.

    Should you wish to do so you may see my comment in my post of 30 Jan.

    "BTW, the side of the steering wheel is not an issue, for me at least. I
    have owned and driven RHD for a long time on 'the Continent' and LHD in the
    UK, and
    regularly drive across from the UK now."

    And the OP has confirmed that also for him the steering wheel side is no
    issue.

    Just one point: after a bit of careful driving, switching sides is piss-easy
    because everything is appropriately geared. Road marking, road signs etc.
    Yes, quite a few Continental Europeans 'worry' about this matter, but only
    until they try it. That's why I said that your concerns are "theory".

    BTW, I don't think that the "look right" marking on the road are there for
    Continentals or NAs; they are there for public safety, reminding people to
    look out for traffic before stepping off the kerb... Furthermore, when
    stepping off a traffic island/refuge half way across the sign (if there is
    one) would say "look left"...

    The only signs for 'foreigners' are on roads near the ports, reminding
    people to drive on the left. Similarly in France there are "drive right"
    signs in or near, for example, Calais.

  3. PS. Just curious: why do you give yourself the NG moniker Shvantzkoph?

  4. It started out as as a humourous/self deprecating name that I used in
    rec.arts.movies.erotica, while I used a real e-mail address in
    non-embarrasing gourps. Then some spammer started to harvest e-mail
    addresses from the Linux groups and my spam load jumped up to a thousand a
    day. When that happened I switched to General Schvantzkoph for everything.

  5. Well, in the context of 'erotica' Schvantzkoph certainly makes sense and,
    given your comments about "humorous/self-deprecating" I think you know what
    echoes the word evokes... :))
