You need to consider whether you'll enjoy your baby here as much as in Canada.To drive comfortably and safely, one needs to be on the crown side of a road or highway. In a LHD, you'll be on the off-side, an unnatural position. Imagine yourself driving in the passenger side while you're on the road now in Canada and think how unnatural it would feel. Unlike in Canada, parking in all business and commercial buildings here is paid, and whether it's by cash, ticket, swipecard or Touch n Go, and you need to be on the right side of the car to do it. Getting out and walking around each time you exit a parking lot is going to be weary, for you and the people behind you. LHD-specific mechanical parts, when needed, will have to be ordered in by the authorised dealers, and will take months to arrive. And when it comes time to off-load it by private buyer, trade-in, or used car dealer, you'll find no takers, and will have give it away or keep it forever.Instead of spending money and effort shipping and importing it, why don't you use your one-and-only opportunity to import a car duty-free, to bring in a good one from the UK? You could even think about something exotic like an Aston Martin or Bentley. Like your Canadian job, friends, abode and way of life, your present car belongs in Canada-eh? :1:</blockquote>
