None of them look "right". But they are cool to see. Thanks for sharing. You got many of Aussie customs?

there will be a wiper arch when your driving that the wiper will not clear when its raining as if your in the PASS position !! Something to consider

ah yes, anyone remember the movie "Swordfish" where Travolta has a manual transmission that's right-hand drive? awesome. seems like a fun challenge getting used to it

I agree, shifting a manual trans with your left hand would be awkward.

I was thinking leaning my arm out the window on the right with a steering wheel in my left would be funny feeling! Oh, for the rest, one word.
