Yes, it is flipped. So, she is getting in on the Drivers side. (Check the license plate - it appears to be somewhere in GB). FYI-I needed 2 cups of coffee this morning, too. ;-)
Years ago I was in the UK and got into a rental car on the "left" side prepared to drive away. Of course there was no steering wheel in front of me and a wise-ass local babe passing by remarked: "What's the matter yank, someone steal your steering wheel"?
810G53 is not a UK plate, and rarely if ever will you find a host of buildings with terracotta tiles. Definitely mainland Europe and if the vid was a bit better defined you would be able to determine which country by the letters at the bottom of the blue strip on the right (on left when flipped)and it is a left hand drive.
"got into a rental car on the "left" side prepared to drive away"
Hah! I had the opposite problem. So this couple from Australia was coming to work at my hospital. I was going to take them to dinner a few days after they arrived. Then the husband got delayed a couple of weeks, so the wife came on first. Seeing as we already had a dinner reservation, I took just her to dinner. When we got to my car in the garage I unlocked it with the clicker and opened the passenger door for her. To my surprise she marched to the left side, opened the driver door and hopped in. There was a pause, and we both realized what had happened and started laughing. "Oh, you were trying to be a gentleman and I got confused. John never opens the door for me." "Yeah, well, I don't open the door for mine either. But you're a GUEST."
1) A word to the wise about electro static discharge and aircraft. If one should ever find oneself in a situation where a helicopter is lowering a winch line to you (and you'd be surprised how often this comes up) let that cable touch ground before you grab it. It has bad shit in it. Trust me on this.
I saw a guy try to hook a Humvee to a Blackhawk before the static probe was in place. Knocked him off the vehicle and put him briefly into cardiac arrest.
Years ago I was rebuilding a set of pipe corrals for a guy and one day I get to work and he is all bandaged up. I asked him if he's going to be ok and what happened. Broken arm, beat up face and something was wrong with one leg, don't recall. He was out riding his fool horse who stepped on a plastic dog food bag and the horse exploded.
I grew-up on a farm, my four grandparents lived next door.
Granpa Jack (surname 'Russell'...) raised and trained mules. We often watched a new mule paw at a ten-foot blue plastic tarp until it was a six-inch pile, then calmly proceed across it.
I can only peal one of those oranges to look like a twig and two berries.
ReplyDeleteStems and seeds? ;-)

It would be nice to be able to afford 20 times the car I was qualified to drive. I wouldn't buy it but it would be nice if I could afford it.
ReplyDelete#3 - got to get her steps in...I'd be too lazy.
ReplyDeleteRealise with #3 that the video is flipped and she is getting in the passenger side. For good reason I might add.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is flipped.

#3. Remember, constant cell phone use has no effect on decision-making ability.
ReplyDelete#3 I was married to a woman that dumb once.
ReplyDeleteI just love #10. Perfect for unwanted visitors.
ReplyDeleteGeez #2, that took way too long

DeleteAnd then ... !!!

Delete#3 why is the video in reverse/flipped?
ReplyDeleteLook at the license plate.

Mules tend to see everything as a toy!
