To turn off the V1 while I'm strapped in and the other is "classified"...

While we're reminiscing...Here's my old CRX back in 88 with Wink interior and Vitaloni exterior mirrors...sign...sniff...

Anytime...

Here are other ideas I've entertained, if only I had more than one Mini...

Vitaloni Californian (as was on my CRX)...


Vitaloni Sebring bonnet mount...shave off the side mirror and mount these ontop of the fender above the front wheels...of course, a bit of work would be needed to blend the flat base onto the round bonnet surface...maybe a short, sculpted, custom pedestal...


Then there's really old skool...Talbots!

Dammm $500.00+ dollars are there any mirrors like these or any of these mirrors that can be bought for less...maybe these will be down my list of mods.

One of the switches is for the ejector seat (i.e. James Bond Goldfinger Car) but its not to thward off bad guys its in the event that he needs to lose some weight quickly. Originally it was mounted else where but the reason its mounted up there now is to remind SID to open the sunroof first .
