    From Kurt Weiske@1:218/700 to All on Tuesday, May 09, 2023 06:33:00
    I'm going to be renting a car with a manual transmission in Italy this
    summer. The last time I drove a stick was 2001.

    Driving on the other side of the road and shifting with my left hand
    should be... interesting. At least the pedals are in the same order -
    aren't they???



    ... It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it plays out for 'em...

    In Italy they drive on the same side (the right) as in Canada!?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I was planning on driving on the left, too late to change now! :)
