Battery is under left seat regardless of which side the steering is.

Since all internet forums and video websites are accessible world-wide, it's confusing to refer to driver/passenger side.

 

Yep, passenger side in Australia... The negative terminal connection is just at the front of the seat

 

Drivers side versus passenger side is typical USA description. Offside versus kerbside is typical UK description. Only in Australia do we normally use a country neutral term such as left versus right. The rest of the world needs to be not so country specific (arrogant ?) IMHO

 

Oh, I agree. And I would like the U.S. to get over it and get on metric, use standardized objective sizing for clothes and shoes, etc. And all of us need to get back on the Julian calendar and change music back to 432hz. In truth though, it was/is done to create chaos until we, like Neo, say "No!".

 

It doesn't matter..... there will always be some guy who likes to look at the vehicle instead of being in it when you say left vs right..... you can never win.

 

Exactly

 

I was waiting for that comment.from someone and you did not let me down ..... so lets all agree and call it Port and Starboard

Can we have flashing Red and Green lights with that?

 

I feel like I've let plenty down already..... trying to better myself

 

We might be in different sea lanes. I was thinking of those road worker types who drive around with flashing amber roof lights 24/7 and thought we might have flashing red and green lights on our roofs.
Right up my Alley, I even have Port & Stbd cuff links.

As a one time x-oow I think solid lights would confuse our fellow road travellers.

And "correct" instead of "right"

 

Could Red, Right, Returning be part of the highway buoy system?

 

Unfortunately North and South America use navigation aids differently to the rest of the world. They use port-to-port on returning to the sea whereas the rest of the world use port-to-port when navigating up the estuary.

The later makes sense to me (maybe my location has something to do with it) because one is likely to first approach an estuary from the ocean rather than from up river.

Anyway, I prefer 'A little Red Port Left'. 😊

 

Vintage port for me please.

And I don't care how you pass it to me!

 

Who uses 16:00 Hrs? 1600 fits the bill

 

ISO 8601: the international standard for date and time format. For example, 2023-03-15T16:00 is 4pm on the 15th of March 2023. It can also be shown as:

2023031516

which is what computers and databases use.

 

Are we not 'drifting' away from the actual topic?

 

Sorry Steve,
I thought that the OP had been answered. That is, the battery is on the port side of the car.

We were just having a bit of fun after the question was answered.

But point taken. We don't want to use up all the internet. 😉

 

A "timely" reminder! Then again, drifting comes naturally when every day is Sunday.

 

All good.
I'm not a moderator (anymore) so apologies are not necessary

I just know from my time in the back room...that topics going off at right angles are 'annoying', and as a frequent searcher of topics (for relevant info to a [problem I may be researching)...it gets a little annoying wading thru off-topic comments

 

I love those movies!
