    In some respects along with Brits.
    Just remember for example re cars - the hood is the bonnet and the trunk is the boot. :)

    And the fenders are the wings! When watching Wheeler Dealers I hear Mike and Edd refer to the "near side" and the "off side." Why is the left side of the car the near side?

    Added some new touches to my rig. Changed the lighting and added a 2nd radiator.
    Interesting cooler set up Roadking and very nice build!! My XM case has a drop down side panel like yours has a swing away and the only problem I find with this setup id the trailing cables for the fan/s. Mine has 2 X 140 in the side pity it couldn't be rigged so that pushing home and locking the panel didn't automatically plug those leads in and out eh? Like have a plug on the door and a socket on the case edge where they meet.
    I am now just wondering how that could be done.....
    Thanks for thumbs up.
    Ive been looking for some contact switches but with my clear door it would still be hard to hide the fan cables.

    When I worked in a convenience store, an Irish customer (and friend) of mine came in and said she needed a fag. The look on her face, when she realized what she said, was priceless. Fortunately, I knew what she meant so we both got a good laugh from it.

    The left side of the car is nearest to the kerb when the car is parked legally, hence nearside.

    or transistors and I remember the days of real stockings not these hideous tights and Paul you would know what these are the folks on the other side a of the pond well they might be a bit flummoxed

    The road well the left side is the right side and going anti clockwise round a roundabout would really make me sea sick. Seriously if I had to change gear with my right hand I would wreck the box in tow minutes flat. Plus the last time I was there the indicators were on the wrong side - try indicating a left turn with windscreen wipers LOL!!
