·On the way to Cambridge (UK) yesterday and saw this lovely little lady who appeared to be a bit lost (in time and location :0)
Do I detect a LEFT hand drive on the Model A? Need to know more.

The car has a light blue parking sticker which suggests the owner may be part of Cambridge University. Don't recognise the location, but in most of Cambridge it would be most unwise to stand in the road to take photos, the traffic both cars and bicycles is very heavy.

·@Omegafanman hasn't replied yet but I can add a little. Note the original Michigan number in the middle of the radiator and a British registration plate at the level of the front springs. That there 'pedia says that Model As were made at Trafford Park (Manchester, England) but were not a success due to a clash of engine dimensions with the British tax calculation method. I have a vague recollection that the Trafford Park cars were right hand drive. The car has a light blue parking sticker which suggests the owner may be part of Cambridge University. Don't recognise the location, but in most of Cambridge it would be most unwise to stand in the road to take photos, the traffic both cars and bicycles is very heavy.
@MRC - You have covered this with way more detail than I knew :0) - Picture was taken a few miles out in a village off the A14. I know what you mean about the bikes - I nearly died taking a photo of the Corpus Clock when I did arrive in Cambridge proper.

It's quite hazarous on a bike also. Too many pedestrians look in the wrong direction before stepping into the road. Especially on Kings' Parade. The only shop I occasionaly need to visit there has a handy alley right next to it, so I can avoid everyone holding their i-things up in front of them 😉
What's this? Exif.Image.Model iPhone 5
Oops, no offense I hope.

It is fair to say I am not an upgrade junky..... I keep pushing the software limits but Apple are cunning B'stards and kill everything off with each update. I need to buy 3rd party software to 'reverse' contacts from more modern phones.... I don't get those problems with my Astro Wars and Parker bros Magic Merlin.... yet they call it progress.... I will have to bite the smart phone update bullet soon or I will never be able to unlock a hotel room door again......
