Cheers!!!! Congrats!!!

Stupid question, but, don't cars have right hand drive in England? I noticed that yours is left hand just like here in North America.

BTW...my deepest sympathies to your fellow country men and women who lost their lives on July 7th. My heart goes out to all of you

EEP!!! I must have forgotten to mention.


I'm an american! =) I'm in the US Air Force; I'm stationed here until 2007. And yes, those events in London were horrible. =( You don't have to have a Right Hand Drive car here, just like you don't have to have a Right hand drive in the states. The only things that matter are something called "SVA" and "Light Conversion". I hate to see how they're going to convert my lights when I get it done monday.... =(

Congrats on the new SS/SC ( great color choice also ), that has to be awesome to have maybe the only Cobalt SS/SC in England. Enjoy.

Wow beautiful car man. I didn't even recognize the Sunburst Orange in the first pics, under the right light is has a reddish/bronze hue

As for the "light conversion", as far as I know its not too big of a deal. Basically all European cars are required to have amber turn signal lamps, both front and rear. Obviously the front is not the issue, but since the rear lights on the Cobalt are all red, they must be converted to amber. I'm guessing that they will just change the lens and bulb for the rear turn signals to amber, instead of the current red. Once you return to the states, you may be the only Cobalt with Euro tails lol
