Question Left foot braking in the Mini

Now that I've finally had the chance to left foot brake again in our front drive car in the snow again this year,I'm wondering can this be done(please) in the Mini,or is the throttle defeated(hope not!)and if so can this be overcome somehow?Idon't want to be using the handbrake at speed....Thanx

Yes, it is possible to use left foot braking, although I've not had any snow to test that out in!!!
Have done several track days (not in MINI) and find this much easier. I also use heel and toe style a lot, even on the crap roads by me!
