Sat here wondering how much a new driver's side door mirror is going to cost. (It probably doesn't need the whole thing but I bet that's what I have to get).

Why is it that some drivers a) have no idea how wide their car is and b) would rather smack an oncoming car than use the space on their LHS?

Ho hum. It's just a lump of plastic.

Cheers! I did find them but I popped into the dealers and the bodyshop chap said it just needs the translucent plastic indicator bit and the bottom body coloured bit. The mirror glass isn't broken and the whole thing still pivots when I lock it so it's not so :thumbdown:

If I'd gone any further left I'd need a new passenger side one too, I think the div in the other car must have had target fixation. The :angry-cussingblack: .

Come back to the uk if you want to collect some, apparently some parts have snow now and it's forecast elsewhere.

Well it barely made 5mm let alone inches, but if it's a sign of what may come this winter then let it come, there ain't not nothing I don't like about a snowy day.

Ain't nothing more fun than getting in when mangers pussy out and claim a snow day when I've come 85 miles and they have less, sheesh do they not know the light speed fun of full beams in a snow shower

Looking out the window - it did snow a bit more, not loads, but a couple of inches. The forecast over the weekend is for a LOT, we are all hoping that it's true this time - lifts open in two weeks!! :lol:
