   **I'm sure that would be the case. I learned to drive in Australia,   
   using a 'three on the tree' and later a four speed, floor mounted manual   
   gearbox. I now drive a five speed manual gearbox car. I've driven auto   
   gearbox cars in the US and elsewhere. I reckon that trying to drive a   
   manual gearbox in the US would be a difficult adjustment to make, though   
   using an auto box was easy enough.
