That must be an exhilarating experience. It must have a large engine (very envious!) I have a LHD 1.6 straight diesel and everything on the road apart from bicycles and old tractors can't wait to overtake me!

Got the 1.6TD running extra boost, overtakes fine on the flats and some hills... really depends what you want to overtake, find pushbikes, electric milkfloats and pedestrians to be the easiest, but other vehicles are possible :D

I suppose you could go down the scrappy and get the kind of mirror that's glued to the screen of some cars and glue it to yours.

Had the same problem a few years ago in a Bay. I got a knackered set of jail bars from Volksheaven, cut one of the long bits to fit vertically up the inside of the windscreen and fitted the standard internal rear mirror with a neat clamp from a bike shop. I could adjust the thing up and down the jail bar. I think it was a bit over engineered for the job but I was sick of the sucker mirror falling off the screen at critical moments. Some people thought it looked neat, so with the bits left over I made another couple for other people.
