A wide range of control layouts is available, all different from the 
cars used by 99% of the population, although some of them come close. 
You can't use most motorways, but there's generally an A-class road 
which will get you to the same place in the end. If it breaks down very 
few garages will understand it, but you can find a lot of support on the 
internet, including a few people who will tell you that you have no 
business to be driving a car if you haven't blueprinted the crankshaft 
yourself. They will also use the word "shill" a lot and will have more 
than a hint of open-toed sandals and uncut toe-nails.
