Is this as much of an inconvenience as I would presume it to be?

Kinda hints at the superiority of LHD cars over RHD cars, huh?
Dont notice it a great deal TBH, the footrest on early cars is actually between the clutch and brake pedal, there is a plastic rest on the footboard under the carpet

Ditto to all the aforementioned.

In Europe we actually have what we like to call ' winding roads ', they have camber changes, hair pins and magnificent views - come drive them, see how often your foot rests.

Yes and it feels very comfortable with your foot just sitting there because of the clutch pedal being so offset.

The easiest way to convert Rs to C2 would be to simply put a RS badge on a C2 wouldn't it?

Gealous. Yeah, in 'Merica I don't think camber is even a consideration in road construction. Every once in a while I encounter a random corner with camber, that doesn't even necessarily need it either, and I find myself both pleasantly surprised and wanting to meet and shake the hands of the crew that did that one. I live near a big mountain range and the roads do improve like 100% there.

Hot off the press!

These BBS Mags are for Sale!

It is also time we remind ourselves of this outstanding first post, as Mr Q is joining us for Spa.

If interested in the wheels let me know and I will hook you up directly with Enigma himself

Turbo pedal set means it is available, I have a dead pedal on mine, LHS against the trans tunnel, means your shoes have to be a touch smaller in width.....pressing the clutch and accelerator can happen otherwise...
