    Why would you consider changing?

    Its not likely if you live in Australia you'll even see a left-hand drive car let alone own one and have to drive one!

    i vote for left...all the years of playing gran turismo the shifter has been on the right

    ive nevr driven a lhd car in its self, buit sitting on the right hand side whilst being thrown sideways in a lancia delta was alot fun ...so its something diferent i suppose.

    and sexy 16, you had an e30 m3???? *droool*

    guys in the US seem obsessed over driving RHD cars to look JDM Tyte. Unfortunately not many guys in Australia really wanna look USDM Tyte just yet I'll stick to RHD, its what I know and what I'm good at. Plus if the car's manufactured after 1970-something it has to be converted to RHD to be legal to drive on the road and to register/license it.

    When I was in europe I got to drive my uncles Z3 which was LHD... took a while to get used to... thank god you don't have to shift gears once you're on the autobahn.

    Rather than actual problems with shifting, I had a lot more problems with driving on the wrong side of the road, and turning into oncoming traffic at intersections.

    RHD for me. Have driven LHD 67 Mustang ( Nice ) before but felt a bit odd to say the least.

    I have driven LHD, but I would have to say that it does feel a little wierd sitting on the left (couple of times I would reach for the gear with the left hand, but nothing there ). So I would stick with the RHD, plus all the cool cars a RHD ie AE86, british escorts (the car, not the girls ), supras, skyline (erm too common though) etc etc.

    But I would drive a race car LHD, as it doesnt matter then. But I am no race car driver .
    Previous cars:
    BMW 318i, Mazda MX5, Mazda Familia, Toyota Levin GTV (miss it), AE71, AE92 corolla x 2, Honda Integra Type R DC2 (awesome car),
    Mitsubishi Evo 8 MR (Missing it)

    Current Car:
    2013 Hilux SR5 (turning it into a off-road warrior)
    I am looking for a track only car..... Thinking of an AE86 to use.
