    The last one got me. A friend of mine from the US asked if my partner could drive a manual. I was confused at first, “can’t everyone?”

      On the reality show The Amazing Race, it’s never the rock climbing or skiing or skydiving that holds back the teams. It’s driving the manual rental car from the airport.

      I drive manual in the UK but have never tried a left-hand-drive manual car, I’d probably keep hitting the door with my left hand.

        I did that all the time driving a manual in Japan and England the other way around. 🤣
