Camping in France. What should roll up on the adjacent plot? Only a lovely, black 850 T5-R estate!! What are the chances of that happening?

Did you tell them the steering wheel's on the wrong side?

The owner turned out to be a Dutch Victor Meldrew, who complained about smoke from our BBQ and the volume of our music. We had no further contact after that! Shame really, as I'd have liked to find out more about the car..... He'd certainly looked after it (probably VERY anal?). I did find out, when I spoke to him as he arrived, that it cost €13,000 to insure! That sounds crazy - and I even asked my other half if I'd misheard €1300 (which would seem more likely?) - but he definitely said 13 thousand!

Awesome - shame that you haven't been able to share some stories with him.

He must be on V.O.C.

We are the ones with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

The 850 was designed as a left hand drive car.

That's because the Swedish drive on the wrong side of the road, if they drove on the correct side of the road, they'd have designed it with the steering wheel on the correct side.
