Hi folks
Might be getting a new car and wondered which mirrors you all use, the ones we have at the moment have an arm that rest against the car when attached to the cars mirror - we can put some felt In between but as they are just ok and not fantastic thought I'd as what you all recommend - Thanks

We have had, and used, pretty basic `cheapo` mirror which attach to the door mirror with expanding rubber straps. Never had a problem with them coming off or with vibration, so will continue to use them.

I also have a pair of the large ones which clip into the window channel and attache to the bottom of the door, which fortunately I didn`t fit on our last outing - a moron in a Vauxhall Astra in Llandidrod Wells decided to overtake a row of parked cars whilst coming towards me (I was halfway past). He obviously wasnt` looking beyond the end of his bonnet as he sh!t himself when he realised what he had done and clouted the mirror hard enough to rip it off and smash his own. How he missed the caravan I still don`t know. There was no damage to my car, if I had the `big` mirrors on I would have been looking at a new door and a repair bill for many hundreds of pounds.
