IML: driving a big car in Europe

[triggermortis <alan__harper@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, what is it like driving that big car in Europe?  Do you run into a lot of narrow streets?  Some of those streets have been in existence for centuries, long before cars were invented.

I was talking, at work, with some fellow employees, about driving in England, Scotland and Ireland.  They said my New Yorker Brougham would be a nightmare drive, especially in Scotland and Ireland.  They drive on the left side of the road there, and my car would take up both sides of many of the roads.

Car(s) owned: 1967 crown 4d sedan (black with black leather)

Self-Introduction: The proud owner of a 67 crown. A fabulous big car, at 
least for our standards, which drives very good. Drove us without any 
problems to a 3000 km holiday in Hungary last year. Unfortunately my wife 
had a little accident and crashed the right front fender and the fender 
extension. It happened last year (2003) october and I still haven't found 
the right parts. Wanted to sell it, but now we changed our minds and we are 
going the store the car. In de meantime I going to try find the missig parts 
to get the car into the shape it deserves to be. I've got the original 
service manual and selling brochure.
