Hi Niels

I can understand why. I guess you'd need to be independently wealthy to run the Meadows these days. This raises another point of difference between the UK & NZ versions; the large fuel tank on the RH side, doubling a nice step up for the NZ driver. Looks like the UK versions carry their fuel on the opposite side.
