Does the UK have reindeer? I think the North Pole had right hand drive years ago.

Seriously, most Continental European countries had right hand drive/drive on teh left up until around the 1930's.... Sweden didn't change over until 1967.

Are Rambler Elf's anything like Keebler Elf's? Are they the ones who make Girl Scout Cookies?

Lots of interesting cars in that last one.
