The shifting for me isn't too difficult as i'm left handed so shifting with my left doesn't really seem to awkward.

I know exactly what that's like. If you get bored, you can easily change out the turn signal switch on your old Mini by flipping the switch around to the other side of the steering column and rotating the black plastic column covers (got to love old BMC simplicity!). I remember that I also drilled all they way through the existing hole in the column and tapped the other side of the hole for the little screw that flicks the turn signal switch off after completing a turn. Took all of 10 minutes to do, and as I said, it keeps me sane when switching between MiNiS.
