You sure you didn't mirror the image somewhere in the process? Razz

not sure what your getting at, so if it helps that would now be the front right hand corner of my old car. IMO at least.

Just kidding and trying to add another layer of confusion to the mix by flipping your image left/right.

And I do agree with your way of left/right... at least unless there's further specifications (like: <i>the battery is to the right as you open the hood and look into the engine bay</i>)

RHD cars have better weight distribution around tracks - as most tracks run clockwise worldwide. As most people are right-handed (and your right eye's vision is generally superior), RHD is safer than LHD.

Well on my 180 the battery was on the left hand side of the car Rolling Eyes

The same as the front left headlight was, funny enough, on the left hand side of the car. & if for example the MOT tester noted it wasn't working, he'd say the front left headlight wasn't working, (even on a BMW) despite the fact that as he looks at it it's on his right hand side.
Below is a photo of what I believe is the front left corner of my old car, but aparently if it was a BMW & according to some others on here it's actually the front right (shouldn't that be back right using that logic?), go figure!!

You are completely twisting what I said

Battery on the left side of the engine
Battery on the left hand side of the car

.....are two COMPLETELY different sentences and perspectives

What a pointless thread It's simple... To avoid confusion most people would say near side and off side If you went and left your car somewhere and said the front left tyre's got a puncture How would they know if you mean left from inside the car or left looking at the car? So you'd say near side front or off side front that way there'd be no confusion

Hardly pointless as you at least don't get it.
How the hell is it confusing to say 'the front left tyre has a puncture'? The front of a car is the front no matter where you look at it from & is in the same place on the car the world over, the front of the car on it's left hand side Rolling Eyes

Your perspective might change, but the car stays constant.

Totally agree with that.

Only thing I disagree with you on, is with regards to the engine, as generally speaking you refer to that when you are infront of the car. Like if you tell someone to change the pulleys that are on the left hand side of the engine, they will look at the drivers side not the passengers. And I'm sure 99% of the people would do the same.
