Yes, I can see from the pic. In the northern hemisphere, blue (cold) is on the right and hot (red) is on the left.

Btw, I showed this pic to my wife to prove that the Datsun 1200 truck is big enough to do real work. Thanks, Jack.

hey jack i have a pic of your ute, it is at wharf place and its licence plate is "XXX SEX" (nsw), is this your ute before you owned it, or are these your plates? the pic is on the site somewhere i just cant find it

I have let the rego slide while i am trying to do the CA conversion. Rego ran out in March this year and i was under the impression that the plates could be reissued 3 months after the rego ran out unless i put a hold on them and that costs the full custom plate cost ($360 i think), so, yeah, i don't know the status of my plates (I haven't handed them in - can probly get fined for that).

I didn't choose the plates. The previous owner did that. I kept them for a laugh though. They certainly attracted attention! The boys in blue loved/hated them.

Interestingly, the US was also a right drive country untill relatively recently.
As late as 1922 you could still buy a new Stutz car in right drive for domestic use.
Next time you see the movie "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis, please note that ALL of the cars are right drive, as they were back then.
All stagecoaches & covered wagons,... in fact all horse drawn vehicles in the US were right drive back in the day. The 'shotgun' always rode on the left.
That canvas covered luggage compartment at the rear of a stagecoach was also called a 'boot'

I know why we drive from the right,[yes, there's a reason] & I know why the 'boot' became a 'trunk' but could never figure out why the US shifted to the wrong side of the car,.. & the road. Very odd.

P.S. The Great Race [New York to Paris] actually took place in 1909 & was won by a 1908 Thomas Flyer. It was eventually found by Bill Harrah [Casino Billionaire] & restored to resemble exactly the pictures taken of it on the day it won the race. It was in his Museum in Reno [?] during the late 70's & it's a right drive car.
