I'll explain.

There is more than 1, its a genuine conversion and the company does loads.

Its for US postal workers who cant be arsed to get out of there cars and walk round to deliver the mail- left hand drive cars and drive on the right.

By doing this they can hand the mail out the window into the flappy box things at the end of peoples drives.

And yes it is a REEE EEEE POST

what's more scary is I've seen American cars converted to RHD using a chain driven gear system behind the dash and rods running to another set of pedals.

Looks as dodgy as fook.

Advised one customer to scrap thier car and I cut the other up anyway.
