    1. I still find it amazing that 90% of the people who do drive stick in your country can drive stick. Shifting is a much finer mechanical process than steering and really should be done by the dominant hand.

    2. Split the difference.

    Who knew those were so cheap? Some of them are under £6,000.

    Fair do's - at least you have thought it over.

    What you might have failed to realise in your thinking is two things:


    • Our dominant hand is still likely to be the right
    • We drive on the left , so the gear would be on our left too obvs


    So the best use for our dominant hand whilst driving is playing with the mirror control , or playing with ourselves

    No, I realize both those things. You should just fix your roads.

    Yeah I wouldn't get an old m3 because the mpg is so bad, but I know I can downgrade my 328 to a 320 for half the price. It's an option.

    An option with xenons, heated seats and built in satnav... A nice option.

    Does gas mileage matter very much when you get a fun convertible that you can drive everyday for under £10,000? That's a lot of gas money saved.
