A right hand drive LTL, wouldn't that be fun to bring to the states. I assume that on right hand drive , you clutch with the right foot and run the throttle with the left? If so I think I'd have a hard time driving, along with shifting with the left hand. Although I've always been a pretty good "switch hitter" in softball. Maybe wouldn't be so bad.

I've always wondered the same thing...how are the clutch, brake and throttle set up in a right hand drive??
