    Hint: The pic is of the inside of a MINI rally car. The article is below but see if you can figure it out first before reading.

    Nothing spotted. It's a RHD is all :)

    :crazy: So 'wrong' may have been the - er - wrong word to use. But my first thought was 'Hey, that steering wheel is on the wrong side!' :biggrin5:

    Of course ProDrive is a British manufacturer full of folks who drive RHD street cars every day and therefore mistakenly ( :wink: ) think steering wheels should be on the 'right' side so they used odd, as in 'What's odd in this picture?' It certainly is odd to find an FIA homologated RHD rally car. :yesnod:

    That first RHD Rallyman is going to Derek McGeehan. Here are a few samples of him out pedaling around in the LHD version he's been rallying this year.

    Apparently McGeehan didn't trade in the LHD for a RHD, he's keeping both!
