Cool Cars with Dad and Bill - 1994 Land Rover Defender

Bill: "Alright what's on tap for today?"

Dad: "This, son, is the mighty British Land Rover Defender 90. This one is the 1994 NAS (North American Specification) edition with left hand drive."

Bill: "Sweet! What does that mean?"

Dad: "Well this car may have been produced fairly recently but the actual design was getting on 60 years old at the point this was made. There were a few safety regulations that the Brits had to meet before they could sell this here. Plus they had to move the steering wheel over, of course"

Bill: "Why was the steering wheel on the wrong side?"

Dad: "Well because the Brits drive on the left side of the road instead of the right."

Bill: "Why would they do that?"

Dad: "Probably something to do with knights and chivalry. Or possibly they just like being contrary. I dunno, look it up."

Bill: "I can't read."

Dad: "Well then it was definitely knights."
