Definitely. How about a night drive? Showing those trucks lit up like Christmas trees.

[@Kiwi_NZ10]

I'm all colors of the rainbow with envy!!! Last American decent cabovers we could buy new in South Africa was International Eagle 9800i till I think 2015, and Freightliner Argosy for a year or two longer. The Kenworth K100's we had, were all left hand drive. When a law came into power forbidding new registration of LHD vehicles about 15 or 20yrs ago, it was the end of KW cabovers here. My guess is all in all, there were about a 100 K100's of all specs and sizes here. I'm an American truck fanatic, and the proud owner of a 2005 9800i Eagle. The RHD conversions done in South Africa, was never really successful. It worked ok, but it lacked pretty much in finesse and detail. Not half as good as what was achieved in NewZealand and Australia. So it would be some out of this world experience for me seeing a K200 or 9870i, let alone to sit in it or driving it. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed everything about it and others of these modern American roots cabovers, for I believe it's the closest I'll ever get to experience them for real. Greetings from South Africa.

Excellent driver, nice and smooth with shifting and driving, becoming rear these days.

It’s easy to see how little room trucks on our roads have to work with from the drivers prospective.

[@wambogojonah316]

To each their own. There's no law against it.

[@alsteeves2044]

Nice vid of great countryside. Glad we here in Canada, are not the only ones with some choppy narrow roads. Also glad that we drive on the right side of the road.😅
