Did you hear about their secretaries too? I think Lincoln had Kennedy, and Kennedy had Lincoln, but I can't remember the names completely, and I always though the Ford and Lincoln thing was weird though

If one was ever to fight with a squid it would eat its own self in defence. Fact.

If one was ever to fight with Shem and aim for the knee cap, he would go down like a sack of ........ bananas.

I have a pre-LCI, so I really don't know if it's the same for the LCIs. I think I got the sides right... lol I haven't looked at it in a while.

p.s. I think I got it mixed up. Right side folds faster than the left...

I think it's just because the right side mirror is angled in towards the windows more for the driver when it's folded out so it has less of a distance to travel. I would imagine it would be opposite in the UK, Japan and Australia.

So quite possibly that's the cause of the problem. Well in Malaysia we're driving on the same position as in the UK so yeah I expect it to be on the opposite side. Anyway, interesting find mate ;)👍
