Welcome. Can you keep it left hand steering or do you have to move the steering to the right side

*Camaro_Corvette* · 12-05-2009, 12:55 PM

Welcome, and very nice ride!

Captain Awesome · 12-05-2009, 01:23 PM

Welcome! I'm looking forward to hearing about the reactions you get from the locals.

I'm a Brit living in VA, will be bringing mine Black 2SSback in 2011. Be interested to know who and how you are getting it UK street legal. Need some neat ways to install the fog lights, turn signals and so on. I deliberately didn't get the RS because the HID lights are not auto-levelling, which I think "strictly" make them illegal in UK. Be interested in your comments. Rich

you will be doing a lot of shagging in that new camaro .

Nostromo · 12-05-2009, 01:41 PM

Welcome, Phil. Yours seems a very purposeful vehicle and you're expecting an SS. I wouldn't be able to find the time to sleep. At any rate, that was when I was a young man. I'm mostly talk now with a flurry of activity here n' there. Regards to your Monarch and Dame Judy Dench. Just finished watching 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'. Glad you chaps won that one.

Supercharged LS3 i think.

Maybe you chaps could let Top Gear know there are some very good American made cars. With this car being made in Canada it might be held in higher regard in the UK. Not everyone can afford an Audi or BMW on either side of the Atlantic. For the money the Camaro LT's and SS's are very affordable here for the level of performance.

I noticed your user name is Albion? There is a village about 30 miles from my house by that name and I was surprised your user name is the same. Not a very common name here? One thing for sure there are car lovers all over the world.

I'll be interested to know how you feel about driving a left seat drive car on the left side of the road. Be careful turning right and passing!

Basically G8 we have the Australian version

Had a 68 Firebird for a little while so should cope(he says realising this car costs like three times the amount!)

Thanks for all the responses
