We rarely hear from the 2000 MK I and MK II owners, and the 2500 and 2.5 owners.  I am trying to make a database, especially of MK II people.  I know Andy Mace has space on his Web page for 2000s.  Maybe Joe can help build a comprehensive listing of the Big 6 owners.

very sincerely,

Hey, Mike, a question...(and if nothing else, it keeps our topic at the top...)

Ever considered converting to LHD using Stag parts?  I remember seeing something a few years ago about someone having a lot of Stag conversion parts from folks buying Stags over here and sending them to England...

Hope you and yours had a great Christmas!

I saw that in your other postings (on other boards...), but why would that preclude you changing sides?  Just curious...  :-)

I hope the conversion goes well.  The only thing I'm still a little concerned about is either getting a throttle pedal from a LHD 2000 mk. II or fabricating something that works (probably starting with a Spit 1500 pedal).  I'll probably start with the Spit as I have had no luck getting a sedan pedal and I looked at a Stag and it didn't seem like it would fit...although that may be worth a second shot.

the right hand drive is a blast.  i was nervous about it at first, but now it's second nature. my wife drives it as well, and she really likes it too!

I cast my vote for RHD every time.  Keep on Montoya! See you next weekend in Jax.  Jamie are you converting...and do you need parts?  A Stag parts car was recently acquired by a good friend.

No, I'm lucky enough that mine was LHD to start with.  I might be interested in inexpensive Stag seats that need recovering and/or a throttle pedal assembly, though...   Smiley 

Joe, you can see where I am from the blog at <http://2000estate.blogspot.com>
