Green Dash Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Seeing that dashboard in reverse is almost as unusual for me as seeing that dashboard with a real hood on the other side of the windshield.

Thanks!Thanks Vlad! I'll post some more as the work changes. Off from Good Friday till Tuesday for the Easter Holiday.Seeing that dashboard in reverse is almost as unusual for me as seeing that dashboard with a real hood on the other side of the windshield. (translation for Tim: real bonnet on the other side of the windscreen). Jim it takes some time sitting on the left with no steering wheel and when vehicles come to an intersection you swear they are going to hit you. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39238-big-change-new-challenge/page/3/#findComment-284884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
