Citroens still require the gear shift to be pulled up to go into reverse. Caused me fits on a rental I had in England a few years back.

Left hand shifting is a b!tch. I can do it but SO weird.

I've tried a few times just riding as a passenger. Too much concentration even for that.

The shift pattern is the same, you are just on the wrong side of the lever.

It's funny that you say that. I pretty much insisted on driving the whole time we were in Ireland and Bobbie didn't really want to anyways. But, once we got out into the rural areas west of Dublin, she was like "Can I try for a little bit?"

I got nauseous almost immediately and she's all like, "Um... I can't do this." The experiment last like all of fifteen minutes.

I actually enjoyed it, felt a bit like a video game. My rentals since have been automatics as my brother sucks at driving a manual.
