RE: IML: driving a big car in Europe



Hi list!

I drive a 1972 Imperial 2 dor and live in Norway. Some (most) of the roads here are very narrow to. And in the citys it's really not much space. But for me it's a great deal of fun to drive in the citys and on old roads with limited space. It's make my Imperial even bigger....:)))
And it's really fun to see the eyes of the driver i meet on these narrow roads. Some gets a little bit of panic and almost drive off the road when i meet them.
I have noticed that people who drives small compact cars, seems to need more space to drive and park their car.

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.

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.
