Thanks for you comment go2hale. Please note that it is against the law to drive on the wrong side of the road in Australia so most people drive on the correct side of the road, unless they are drunk.

Thorny Devil, Just discovered a way that you Aussies have broken off from the Brits. You've posted a picture of an Austin Healey Sprite and referred to it as a "bug-eye". I posted a series on a British Car show in Ohio earlier this year and also posted a picture of an Austin Healey Bug-Eye Sprite. Sylvias, one of our better known posters from the UK, commented on it that she used to own an Austin Healey Frog-Eye Sprite. So you folks finally came to your senses and sided with us Yanks on the matter. Probably be driving on the right side of the road in the near future too.

Really liked the Austin ute. Don't think I've ever seen one or even a picture before.
Thank you for your comments jiminnee. The Austin 1800 was one of those cars that was either loved or hated - especially the utility version which was a little under-powered compared to the competition. Some owners beefed up the rear suspension which tended to sag with heavy loads resulting in the front pointing skywards and also affecting the steering.
