Default cossie owners with wasted spark - where have you mounted the coil??

as per title, i've got my coil behind the dash with the HT leads coming through the baulkhead which i like as it keeps the engine bay nice and tidy but i'm struggling to mount it properly behind there so am considering moving it into the engine bay but wondering how and where others have mounted theirs?

It would mount anywhere you like really mate as it has a single hole fixing allowing you to mount it anywhere with only 1 screw. There is a strong sticker on the back too so you can position it nicely before tightening down into the final position.
