Mazda Life Magazine - faux pas

Just got Mazda Life in the mail and they had this article on driving the RX-8 on the Gr8 Ocean Road.

Pic the big boo-boo & dead give-aways!

Cheers,
Hymee.

(PS - I'm pretty sure where I saw this picture before.)

Top marks Mez. That is what I spotted first. Then the LHD, then driving on the RHS of the road, just to cap it all off.
