Speaking of converting foreign driver's licenses,

How does one get an MT license?

I understand generally it means that you have to take your test in
a car with a manual-shift transmission.  Problem is, how do you
practice for it?  I've not seen any manual-shift cars for rent in the 
rental agencies, and I don't think you can buy a car without being
licenced.

I don't think the first time I ever drive a right-hand-drive MT
car should be on the driving test (well, I guess then I'd have an
excuse for failing the first couple of tests), so what have other
people done about this?

Do you get to take the tests on the same day, or do you have to
keep coming back?
