<VV> Location for Late Model, Passenger Side Mirror

[Hugo Miller]

I always put mirrors on the front fenders, above the wheel. Then you 
can keep one eye on the mirror and one eye on the road. British cars 
always had mirrors there till we started importing cars from Europe with 
door mirrors fitted. I've never liked them - you have to take your eyes 
off the road and turn your head to look in the mirror. Another thing I 
cannot cope with are flat glass mirrors. Even the big trucks use them 
over here. You can't see a damn thing out of them. Good for reversing, 
but not for going forward! Commercial vehicle in England only use convex 
mirrors - not crazy bug-eye mirrors like you get here, just a gentle 
curve that gives you a decent field of vision combined with decent depth 
perception. There is a guy on ebay selling suitable convex wing-mirrors 
for Chevys (fender mirrors I should say). But if you prefer flat-glass 
door mirrors, don't let me stand in your way!
