Baloney Martin,

Thank god the gearstick is the same on rhd and lhd. Could you imagine the
problems folks like myself, Chris Parnham, Mark Bourne, Dave Howarth, etc
would have when we get out of our lhd-DMC and into our rhd-DMC ... it would
be mayhem trying to remember which way to change gear!!!

Cheers, IAN

forward, 2nd back 3rd to the right of 1st etc, some (like Lamboughini and Ferrari) have 1st back, 2nd forward etc etc. Left-to-right they're the same across the world.

is a bit of an oversight IMO because it's pretty awkward to achieve with your left hand.
