And whilst we're on the subject of ergonomics, does anyone still make cars for the UK market with the indicator stalk on the right side?

I don't think I've ever had a car like that?

Looking at your car history, I'd say that's because you've never owned a car that was engineered for a RHD market except for the Westfield, which (like the Elise) uses an off-the-shelf column unit from a LHD car.

Ah right. I see. The Westfield was an early kit, so didn't have a column stalk at all.
It had one of these on the dash:

I had a hire car thru work recently - Kia Cee'd and that was set up with the indicators on the right of the column, needless to say I washed the windscreen A LOT!

Most uncomfortable vehicle had to be the Ford Puma, I felt like I was leaning towards the handbrake all the time BUT dont worry, the rear arches rotted and the car fell to bits long before it was able to cripple me - phew
