Ahhhhhhhhh,    How bout for safety sake!   Cleaner smeaner!    This is one 
area I have to disagree with you Tom.     My preference is having mirrors on 
both sides and the rear view inside.   My wife and I travel a lot (in the A) 
with luggage on the "boot rack"  and there is nooooo  way that I can know 
whats coming up on my sides without the side mirrors.  And even without the 
luggage they still are a serious necessity for me.   To me my mirrors can 
mean the difference between a serious accident and no accident.    They are 
as important as "seat belts"and having all lights and light indicators 
working,  IMHO.

Cleaner?   I'm shocked that you would take "looks" over "safety" especially 
since there are some very nice "of the era" mirrors available now, that fit 
in nicely.   I have had fender mirrors on my cars before but never again. 
Now they are always with in reach while driving so if I want to change my 
"poopers" position in the seat from "numb cheeks syndrome" I can also adjust 
my mirrors.

Are you serious about this Tom?
