After years of exclusively driving EVs, using a manual gearbox again feels like having to do complex mathematics without a calculator. 😃

@wishy Yes! And vibrate unpleasantly!

@tillathenun A couple of summers ago I went from two years of EV driving in UK to a manual petrol left hand drive car in France when on holiday. 😬

@Defmech @tillathenun yes, the "holiday hire car" experience is always a shock after an EV. Last month we got a petrol manual MG ZS. It was tragic. 🐌

@tillathenun I'm now more annoyed by the engine noise. I have always enjoyed a manual gearbox, especially in the countryside.

@andreab true — the engine noise really surprised me! And the juddering.

It made me remember why my daughter gets car sick so much easier in ICE cars.
