S8 mirrors Vs. Astra
I take a shortcut through the lanes to work and this morning came the inevitable clash of mirrors with an oncoming car. He thank fully stopped so perhaps my starsky and hutchesque turning round of the car was a little over the top. with my wifes pleas for "peace and love" ringing in my ears he looked a little shaken and apprehensive as I approached his car, understandable given the missing assembly and bent bits dangling. We agreed it was a 50/50 and went on our merry way. At school I examined the damage to mine. Turns out that having solid alluminium wing mirrors has it's benefits. £15 for a new bit of glass and a little scuff on the lacquer of the mirror housing. Back of the net.
That will teach me for spending three hours washing, claying, then washing again and then polishing the bloody thing last night. Huge seagull turd dead centre of the bonnet this morning to greet me, should have taken it as a sign and gone back to bed.
